While i dislikes ai i think it’s one of the only ways to create a foss software with a small time with a reasonably small number of people. But this does indeed just look like a no-effort ai post

Yeah, that’s why it’s so hard to ditch those major platforms. Because you could join an alternative but it would likely mean not being able to interact with many things, not sure if I would make that trade-off.

It would be amazing to ditch the company control and so. The main problem is that it’s difficult to get users to join it. I mean just look at how many people still use reddit and discord.

Should be fine on more modern cars (ie. Everything with fuel injection, newer than 1990)

I run gas that’s probably 1-2y old in my pickup and never had any issues.

Just beware that ethanol might hurt rubber lines if you have them. So best to mix it with some new gas over time

Another option is to use some old/bad drives in a raid setup with lots of redundancy. I still wouldn’t store anything mission critical on there but it’s fine for most things
