  • I can’t imagine a future of non-electric cars (assuming cars remain the dominate form of transportation in the US because we suck). They’re so much better than ICE cars and it’s not even close.

    I’ve owned a Spark EV and a Bolt EV, basically the cheapest EVs you can get, and they’re two of the best cars I’ve ever driven. Driving a family member’s brand new ICE Kia felt like going back 50 years. It’s so slow, it makes so much noise, it feels like a boat, ugh.

    If I had twice the budget for a car, I’d get an Ioniq 5 or 6. If I had quadruple the budget, I’d get a Lucid. If I had half the budget, I’m going back to the street legal go-kart Spark EV. I just can’t even consider ICE cars as options anymore after getting used to an EV.

    As someone who was home-schooled, I absolutely agree with Cosmonaut Star. I dodged the alt-right insanity of modern homeschooling, but I got the “okay sit here and do learning unsupervised for a while” treatment after I turned 11 or 12. Prior to then I feel like my parents did an okay job at making sure I was keeping up with normal kids and taking me to social gatherings and stuff, but that just gradually slipped away the older I got. I feel like I’m still unpacking mental baggage from basically not having a life in my teens.

    Thank fuck I got into self-hosting, networking, and Linux/BSD stuff in general as a hobby otherwise I would have zero marketable skills for a job.







  • I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it’s literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it’s irrelevant when I’m talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.

    I didn’t make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I’m here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing’s fucking awesome and I wanted to share.

    I’ve always wondered what the hell these people do with all that space. I live in a 700sqft apartment and even that feels excessive (albeit living alone). If I had unlimited money and owned that mansion, I’d run out of ideas before making use of even 25% of the building.
