What’s a good FOSS replacement?

More or less like that regarding work. And on weekends it’s nice to go places, and/or have a vehicle to haul stuff. But that’s not everyday. So yeah, common ownership of a vehicle for roadtrips, and/or hauling stuff would be an elegant solution.

LoL, I must be living the ‘life of Riley’, then. My commute is less than a mile, and almost always by bike. And most of my errands, etc can be done by bike, as well. And yet the need for a car in our family is indeed extant.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m reluctantly considering purchasing a vehicle, possibly even relatively close to new. The ancient beater I drive when the bike won’t do the job isn’t subject to these issues, and might even be proof against an EMP. Tho’ where the hell I’d get petrol in a post apocalyptic landscape is an as yet unanswered question. lol.

I knew the face, even the image was familiar, but I just don’t watch TV, and famous old white guys all look so similar, so I looked it up. Figured somebody else might also wonder, so be a good Lem and saved some folks a click.

“the year twitter died” is passive, and generally not a preferred way to write this, as there are specific actions by one (EM) or several individuals. The active phrase, “the year twitter was killed”, is more reflective of the actual situation, and thus better communication. FTFY.
