Most desktop environments you just hit alt+f2 to activate the launcher which lets you run any command you want

It’s the lifetime cost of all operational and support equipment. So not just the price of a “new car”, but the cost of all maintenance, tires, oil changes, car washes, fuel, storage, insurance, all paid up-front.
Not to justify it, but contextualize it. The cost is indeed crazy.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like steak and seats thirty five?
Canyonero!
12 yards long, two lanes wide, 65 tones of American Pride!

Eight years ago I could afford a one bedroom apartment by not having a car. That is not possible anymore. My $650 bachelor pad is now $1400 and wages have only slightly gone up. There’s now a generational divide between people in their late 20s and early 20s.
The biggest reason they’ve been tightly coupled historically has been event notifications and invitations. It’s a lot easier for one email client to both create the event in the calendar, and send the event metadata (.ics file) to the invitees.
Nowadays, it’s honestly much simpler to have them entirely separate, at least for personal use. My partner and I use a shared NextCloud calendar which works well on both iOS and Android using CalDAV. Much simpler than Google/microsoft/icloud’s sharing options.
Honestly, just go to every council meeting and every chance you get tell them what you want. That’s how all the parking lots and stroads got there, from people stomping their feet and making a scene at council. Get organized, get like minded people involved, and apply pressure on your local politicians.
You can use pretty much any camera with ZoneMinder as long as it supports ONVIF or RTSP and has the right connectivity and power inputs for you. I did something similar with some cheap TP-link cameras with pretty good results. With motion activated recording, I have just shy of 12 month of recordings stored on a 500G SSD.
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”
Dashcam. For $80 you can fight back against your insurance company when they try to screw you out of thousands!
Hollywood would never make a movie where the protagonists shoot cops and are justified doing it. It’s a miracle the original was ever made.
I use plain old bash with the plain old .bashrc that ships with Debian. I’ll bolt on a git-branch-aware function into the prompt here and there, but that’s about it.
Why? I ssh into a few dozen machines most days and my shitty little lizard brain can’t deal with everything being different on each box. So as much as I appreciate zsh, powerline plug-ins, all that glitzy stuff, I’ll be a late adopter when it comes to plain old Debian stable…
It bums me out that the Ontario flag is so bad. It would take like 10 minutes to throw the trillium on the same background as the national flag and have something unique and with less monarchy ick. The current logo is a bit corporate but it would be fine.
