Ah, didn't realise it had been abandoned. Shame, I've been using it a while, and I used the reddit version up until the API thing. I guess I can understand the dev becoming frustrated with a lot of work for a small audience.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people are in that unfortunate situation. I can't imagine the trade in value is improved. Sorry you're getting shit for buying a vehicle that was supposed to be less harmful to the environment, I guess the lesson is avoid musk products.

If it's any help, I use the sync app on android. I also used sync for reddit prior to the API thing which finally made me leave, so my experience is pretty much the same in terms of format. I agree it can feel weird in a browser but there's a bunch of good mobile apps that might feel more familiar.

I'd not be dismayed to see a bit of violence and chaos from the radical left but I'm struggling to think of examples - do you have some?

Yeah, that's fair, I thought it would probably be something like that. TBF it's work, they're paying me, I'll use whatever they choose. I won't have it on my own computer though just because of Microsoft's hard sell

I can see it being used to make images of people who don't know and haven't consented though and that's pretty shit

You mean deep fakes? Yeah it's really a not great development

Yeah, but I'm sure it'll improve in time. I can't really see what's the point of AI porn though, unless it's to make images of someone who doesn't consent, which is shit. For everything else, regular porn has it covered and looks better too.

My work insists on using it too. Fuck knows why, maybe it's a security thing? And my personal laptop is constantly nagging me to use edge - it could be the best browser ever and I would still avoid it just because of the pushiness.

Yeah, good call. It'll probably also have some basic insulation behind the walls too. Ex ambulances have often been ragged hard - but they've also been regularly serviced and looked after.

Lol mate look I'm thinking you gotta go Hilux or transit. Yeah you can't get everywhere on a transit especially if it's muddy, but you can have a workshop in there. Like I say, throw some solar panels on the roof, a decent battery, inverter, you can have 2k of 240v easily. Also when it's raining you can sit in it all have a cuppa. I know they are fuckin bland vehicles, but it is what you make it. 4wd transit might make you feel better about it? But I've only ever seen a couple

Yeah I know what your saying, I'm thinking the last decent pickup truck was a Hilux around twenty years ago. I've never had one but I've had mates who did and who really reckoned em. I've driven one on a farm I worked on, it was old and not road legal but it was an amazing farm motor. But yeah, the new ones are too wide imo. Like you, I fuckin hate it when I'm trying to get back from work and it's school run, all the parents picking up their kids in pristine, huge trucks that they don't even know how to drive!

But yeah, if you just want functionality I'd say grit your teeth and get a transit. An swb transit will get anywhere in a city, plus you can put a workshop in back. You might wanna tail lift being a mason, I dunno. But lithium leisure batteries are getting crazy cheap at the mo, put a 500w solar panel on roof and regulator charging lithium battery and you'll run a 2kw inverter no prob. You'd prob get all the bits for under £500 and then it's just a bit of wiring. I have a similar setup myself, except I live in it
