  • List of stuff that I can’t accept from a vehicle:

    • If it’s created by a Nazi
    • If the gear selector is on a touchscreen
    • If the blinkers are on a touch button
    • If the wipers are on a menu on a touchscreen
    • If it has no support for Android auto or carplay
    • If it requires a subscription for something that is already present at moment of purchase or is done locally by the headunit
    • If the doors don’t have a mechanical unlock from outside or inside (no, the mechanical unlock from inside it’s too hidden to be considered, in case of emergency nobody will be able to find it before being burned alive - even in a hidden room game they don’t hide levers under rubber mats in drawers)




  • Fedora, now it’s shockingly easy to use.

    I silently replaced windows in the home PC and it took 2 months for the tech illiterate SO to say “WTF, why you put Apple on this PC, I thought you hated them” (put same username/password, same wallpaper, even Microsoft Edge)

    At work I was shocked that I could login directly as user@windows.domain without any extra configuration. Plain vanilla fresh install, typed my active directory account for laughs, it worked 😲

    Also at work I was shocked to see that I could just run the exe of the windows-only accounting software and everything works. I even installed LibreOffice in wine, lol (the accounting software needs soffice.exe for generating spreadsheets). I could even install foxit reader for windows 😂 (sorry, all the Linux PDF readers completely suck when printing, I need previews and booklet and all the extra features)






  • Not really, it sends a combination of 3 really fast button combination on press and doesn’t report to the os when your finger releases the key. You need to run a daemon that detects that specific combination and emulates a finger release after a specified time

    Assholes. Couldn’t they just remap one of the useless “internet” keys from the 00s like KEY_HOMEPAGE or XF86Mail??

    Or create a brand new scancode since they could change the kernel without any problem, especially because the manufacturers would need to change the keyboard firmware anyway AND because copilot requires special hardware, it doesn’t need retro compatibility with older windows versions that don’t have the scancode in kernel or in the keyboard driver
