Thanks for the tip on Omnivore. I’m now down the rabbit hole and thinking to using it and using the Obsidian or logseq plugin to get everything into one place.

Every time I grab my son’s or my grandma’s iPhone to help them with something I run into this lack of universal “back” functionality and it drives me absolutely crazy.

Reddit admins: “Surely nobody will actually like Lemmy. It’s like if you took reddit back in time 10 years. Smaller, more niche, less brand activity, pretty much just die-hard nerds. Who could possibly prefer something like that?”

Another vote for fastmail. Very nice interface, full-featured, etc.

I recommend silverbullet.md as someone else posted above.

Third rec here for US Mobile. I actually switched from Mint after a couple of years with them (and Google Fi before that). Three of my family members are on the Verizon network through US Mobile, and one is on the T-Mobile network. Nice to have the split when we’re traveling because one of the two networks always has coverage.

This is all just so… sad.

I’ve been pretty happy with Tusky

I second this. Probably the best $15 I spend for my family every month. No ads for kids watching YT on their own is nice peace of mind for me and my wife.

And because I already pay for it, we’ve slowly all migrated over from Spotify to YT Music and been surprisingly happy with it.

Believe it or not, they thought of that when they created start/stop systems.

In cars with these systems, the back pressure in the engine’s cylinders is greatly reduced via a variety of strategies including selective alteration of valve timing and purpose-built secondary valves. What this means in effect is that the torque required to re-start the engine is a fraction of a dead cold start, and even a fraction of a normal warm start. This should serve to minimize additional destructive wear on components.

In effect, well-designed start-stop systems do not create any additional wear on vital engine components versus the engine running for that same period of time.
