  • In the UK, you can get your provisional licence (learners permit) when you’re 17. You need to take a theory (written) test and a practical test, and most choose to go through a driving school but you -can- just be taught by your parents or other adults over 21.

    Generally speaking though it’s better to go through the instructors as they’ll teach you what you need in order to pass the practical test, which is apparently one of the strictest in the world.

    After you’ve passed the real learning starts, as if you drove like you have to for the test you’re in for a bad time.




  • Having repurposed my XS as my business phone for now, it feels almost brand new again now I’ve reset it and only keep a few business specific apps on there. I was charging it twice a day while it was being used as my daily driver, but since the switchover I’m having to charge it twice a week! So it may simply be too many apps demanding too much system time.








  • 11.5 years here, and was using Narwhal to access on mobile.

    Whilst Narwhal seems to have worked out a deal with Reddit to keep going, albeit having to charge in the near future, after all the bad blood caused by everything going on and the uncertainty of whether or not some apps would continue I’ve had enough.

    As many have said, the community here seems tight-knit and feels like they really care about things which isn’t something I’ve seen on Reddit for a long time.

    Long live Lemmy!
