Out of interest how are the other countries in the UK finding electric cars?
In the UK there was a bit of a boom but that's slowed considerably. The infrastructure isn't there. Electric cars are considerably more expensive and electricity is not cheap here. Until they are much cheaper than their combustion counterparts I just can't see them taking hold. I'd love to go electric but it's just not viable.
We call them manuals here. I've only had one automatic and it was awful. But it was a cheaper car than I normally drive. I prefer manuals as I have more control over the car.
Electric is very different to an automatic combustion engine. I'm absolutely fine with electric.
I stopped using Google late last year and it's pretty eye opening how much freer I feel now. Previously, any searches I made would follow me around. Make a one time search for something I'd see that being advertised later on. As a result I started searching more using private browsing. I'd often forget though and end up being tracked.
Ultimately switching to Firefox and DuckDuckGo I no longer have to do private searches. No more being followed around the internet.
Also I'm not convinced private browsing works. For example I still use it for YouTube but I noticed despite YouTube not knowing who I am, the videos on the home page include some that are very related to my usual videos. I guess they are using IP's to still deliver relatable videos.

Ahoy is like this. His videos are awesome though.
I use Lemmy now because of Sync but I really hate the normal web UI. It's awful. I wish they would update it to make it more pleasing to the eye. I simply avoid Lemmy when on my PC.
Same with Fernando :(
I'm hoping RCS takes off. We need to step away from WhatsApp now it's owned by Meta.
I played it and couldn't get into it. It was just walking around carrying stuff over and over.
Well, imagine living in Europe where there's millions of other players. Yet you play solo cause you don't have any friends.
Pi OS. It's a Pi4 after all.
