Yep, I’m in Sweden, 30 and both know how to and do drive a manual car.

I’ve found this too. Generally if I’m okay waiting for the answer I’ll try and find the relevant lemmy community and ask that question there instead of clicking the reddit links. There are times though I simply need the answer and so of course I do click the reddit link.

Even so, if we all try and ask the questions we have here Lemmy will eventually be the place you find this information

I used it a lot, not through Google’s gchat stuff, I ran my own XMPP server. It worked really well, I used the OTR encryption plugin in pidgeon. My work also used to use xmpp for internal chat within the company, however they switched to matrix like 5-6 years ago. Something I’ve since done personally too.

I like XMPP a lot, it worked well, including it being federated.

I live in Sweden. Yeah, the tap water is clean and can be drank straight from the tap without boiling, filtering, or treatment in the whole country.

I use SMS and Matrix. I’d love to see something like Briar become more popular, or maybe XMPP make a resurgence as it’s been a great federated chat protocol for a long while.

I prefer lichess, i like its analysis tools and the dev seems awesome.

I’m a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.

I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I’ve tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
