46 at present. Furry porn sites that weren’t tagged NSFW, memes, shitposting, a number of communities from the h… server (you know the one), tankie communities.
I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, too, but I still use the all feed for discovery.
I would say Mastodon already has. I’ve been spending a lot of time there over last few weeks and there’s more content than I can consume. Breaking news stories are covered well, including live blogging, although a lot of that content is cross-posed from Xitter. Plenty of people to follow, including authors, photographers, journalists and scientists. An increasing number of media outlets have a presence there, as well.
Xitter still has an order of magnitude more users, but Mastodon is mostly Nazi-free (which is nice).
I have Mount Char on my to read list, but Time War was a dnf for me. Just could not get into it.
I just finished the book and thought it was better than the movie (although very different). I liked the cinematography and atmosphere of the movie, but it just moved too slowly for me.
Most of my “reading” is via audiobooks so I’m a fan. I’m busy and don’t have a lot of time to sit and read, but I spend hours every day on activities that don’t require my full focus. Audiobooks are a great way to make the time go by faster.
Listening to an audiobook feels different than reading, but a good narrator can create an engaging and immersive experience.
Continental Airlines, way back in the 1960’s.
Mid 60’s in the US. I’ve always driven manual transmission cars. Fairly common for folks my age to know how to drive manual transmissions, since most of us had economy cars in the 70’s and 80’s. At that time, automatic transmissions were an expensive option and had a negative impact on acceleration and mileage.
My daughter is 29 and doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission and I don’t think most of her peers can, either.
EDIT: Accidentally a manual.
Ubuntu 9.04, because of WUBI (anyone remember that?). Unstable as hell, but allowed you to run a near bare metal Linux install without the hassle of setting up dual-booting and a separate partition. Liked Ubuntu it so much that I soon replaced Windows completely. Currently running Debian, so I haven’t strayed far from the family.
