    Personally I've loved Pixelmator and have an old non-subscription copy I still use from time to time. If they're still offering single-purchase versions, my recommendation is to get that. It's an amazing Photoshop replacement.

    Personally, I downgraded to V 5.0.51 and removed / re-did the permissions. I also disabled checking for updates. To my knowledge, that's the last known good version prior to the sale.

    I felt the same way. I could've sworn I played it on Dreamcast a few years ago, but when I asked my buddy (who's a giant gamer) I was corrected that it never hit DC.

  • Toyota boasts new battery technology with 745-mile range and 10-minute charging time — here’s how it may impact mass EV adoption

    It still blows my mind that Toyota single-handedly made hybrids a very successful thing and yet squandered that position to Elon effing Musk. Toyota could’ve been THE market-leader for EVs while still making a killing with the Prius and ICE cars. They’d have a solid lock in all markets.

    Toyota has one of the best reliability reputations of any automaker and yet anyone in the EV market (like I was recently) passes them over because they have zero models to sell. Instead of parlaying the Prius’ R&D into a viable EV too, they’ve left money on the table. Hyundai has gone all in and is selling a ton of EVs. I see more of theirs / Kia’s on the road than anything else (besides teslas).

  • Toyota says its 2026 EV batteries will have a range of 800 km (500 miles) and charge to 80% in 20 minutes.

    Replacing the battery at 100k miles as scheduled maintenance solves that problem. I had to change my Prius’ hybrid battery at 150k. Toyota can build a 200k mile reliable car and if the fuel source isn’t up to that standard, make it easily serviceable so it is part of routine scheduled maintenance.

    The fact that every automaker except them and Honda have put out compelling and competitive EVs says a lot. I love Toyotas and strongly would’ve bought another. But my readiness to go electric didn’t line up with the 15 years Toyota has squandered to have something to sell me.

    Maybe when I’m ready for another car in the next decade they’ll be ready. Until then, they lost out on my business by no fault of my own. I’m not buying another gas car.

    Toyota has literally ceded their entire hybrid advantage by doing jack shit when it comes to EVs. If they’d even created a new line of EVs while keeping their ICE legends like the Corolla and Camry for now, they’d get the best of both worlds.

    Toyota’s are legendary for their reliability and they’ve earned that. By having not a single EV to offer, they’re losing a ton of business. I know I certainly would’ve bought one of theirs but had to go elsewhere.

    No cap space (like most teams). Can't really blame him. He was able to shed one player (Bailey) in order to lock up 4, including Sorokin who is essential to keep on the island.

    From what I remember, you do a full Evernote export and then in Notes on the Mac you do "File --> Import" and you point it to the exported file. I only did it once and many years ago so the process may be different now.

    Once Apple overhauled Notes a few years ago AND offered a way to import from Evernote, I never looked back. For anyone in Apple’s ecosystem Notes is one of the best (and completely free or cheap on any iCloud+ plan).

    Cannot get Lemmy Docker container to start up

    I'm working to get a Lemmy instance spun up in Docker. I'm using the official docker-compose listed in the git repository. But when I bring the whole thing up, the Lemmy container keeps restarting. The other containers are fine. The error I'm getting is: `thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to load settings file, see documentation (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html): LemmyError { message: None, inner: Is a directory (os error 21), context: SpanTrace [] }', crates/utils/src/settings/mod.rs:20:20` Any help on how I can resolve this would be great. Thank you!
