Have you considered doing stupid shit and used Bedrock Linux?

It's great, but it's still baking

Unlauncher changed my life and helped me break my addiction to my phone by using monochrome home screen with no icons so I didn't get dopamine hits when I looked at my screen to open an app.

Tasker is wonderful for automating tasks

KLWP is great if you want to go full custom with your Homescreen and Lockscreen, allowing you to generate custom interactive live wallpapers which can act as a dashboard or as a launcher

For anyone who lives in Houston Texas or the surrounding area, Space City Weather is a phenomenal no bullshit, no ads, just weather app.

Install the DEs manually instead of from metapackages so ,out don't end up with their entire software suites being installed. Additionally, probably use Debian instead of Ubuntu if you're gonna be doing stuff like that, less fingers in the pie make for an easier tinkering experience.

Been boycotting Starbucks for years, ever since they showed their workers how little they care by giving them a meditation app instead of reasonable work expectations.

Still can't believe I wasted 4 years of my life working for that shithouse

Quite a few of the unhoused folks in my area must be bourgeois by that logic

I wash with plain water and a little bit of citric acid or vinegar.

Keep (unused) silica gel kitty litter in a mesh bag in your fridge to lower the relative humidity, I lived in a swamp for a while too :/

Edit: dry your silica gel in the oven every couple weeks, once it looks like it's losing its transparency.

For me, I'd edit things like timing as well as whether a given cylinder/rotor is actively firing based on engine load, disabling cylinders under low load (eg: already at speed, idling) to improve fuel efficiency and maximize power output for a given amount of fuel based on load and whatever the task at hand is (eg hauling loads, hauling ass, or gentle driving)

Edited: I was really tired when I typed this and missed a couple very important words.

If I'm gonna have computers in my car, ideally they'd be arduino-like such that I can modify the code on-board as I see fit or replace the parts relatively cheaply if damage were to occur to the electronics.

Suckless philosophy. The less computerization the better. I wanna be able to fix the whole thing with a 10mm, a jack, and an adjustable spanner.

Currently I have a 92 Corolla, it has too many computerized parts and I'm planning to replace the engine with a carbureted 3 rotor and a manual transmission. Ideally, I'd also like to implement Koenigsegg freevalve as well.

If all goes to plan, it could handle an EMP and keep running, though I'm not a prepper or anything, i just want a fully mechanical vehicle because I understand mechanics, but adding computers into the mix muddies the water.

Greeeeat, now use it to retrofit ICEs into plug in hybrids

My ex-partner had the same experience, she said it felt like period cramps. Her appendix was the size of a grapefruit by the time she had the thing sliced out.
