  • Well, I’d prefer Canonical to fix their shit, instead of forcing immature products onto users. I’m not against snap per se, as there are valid reasons for sandboxing, especially for games (remember when Steam accidentally wiped some user’s home folders back in 2015? Sandboxing would have prevented that).

    However, in its current state, snap causes just too much friction. For example Firefox can’t remember the last used directory for up/downloads, Steam snap will just create a new data directory (forgetting about the games already downloaded), there’s no way to allow additional folders (like /net from autofs) in snap apps etc. It’s just a myriad of issues which make working with the system unnecessarily complex and frustrating, and there seems to be little progress fixing those.

    That’s not a problem, in fact it even helps the flow. What I meant was when folks keep an excessive distance to the next car, like in the OP (that lady could advance like, 10 places or so, translated into car lengths that would be 50 meters).

    There are people who literally turn off their engine and don’t start it again until they can go for 100 meters or more. This wastes road space and encourages lane-hopping, which also makes the traffic jam worse.




  • Actually, we do have trucks and SUVs and pickups, too. Though they are usually a bit smaller than an F150 or RAM 3500, so we often use trailers if we need to transport larger items.

    Folks living in the center of big cities (which I personally believe are a bit overrepresented in this sub) often live in flats where stuff like dishwashers and washing machines are already provided, so they don’t need to transport that, or even don’t need/have a car at all. For those, there are delivery services and light trucks that can be rented.
