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.

Reddit's recent API changes making it difficult to moderate the communities I was in charge of was the final straw for me. Tbh I'm surprised the racism, transphobia, and rampant sinophobia didn't scare me away sooner.

I'm digging hexbear and the lemmyverse, y'all are cool as fuck... mostly.

Icecat takes too long to compile

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

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.

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.

A few years back I woke up with some minor pain in my pp, assuming it was just a UTI that'd pass on its own I let it go for around a week until it was unbearable, and I ended up leaking blood every time I went to pee. Finally went to the hospital and it turns out I had E. Coli in my weenie. The infection had spread to my bladder, and up into my ureter. Doc said if I'd let it go another day it would have hit my kidneys where it could have become a full blown systemic infection, which likely would have killed me.

If your bits hurt, go to the doctor.
