  • I drove Linux Mint for a bit when I was trying to quit Windows. The only thing that made me go back was that, while I could install Steam, the game I was playing at the time (Destiny 2) wasn’t compatible with Linux — as in, I couldn’t even launch it. So I’d switch back and forth for a bit; Windows for gaming, Linux for everything else. But at the end of the day, I don’t want to have that extra layer of complexity in my life. I ended up just sticking with Windows. I will probably give Linux Mint or another distro a shot in the future, but for now I’m only on Windows.

    I wish people would stop sharing this meme. Shortly after it came out and became viral, that guy got in a HUGE amount of trouble with the Bolivian authorities. They raided his house, sent him to prison, they literally kidnapped his wife and kids, and I’m just fucking with you guys I have no idea who this is.

    I can see the devices you use mattering. Where were you watching the videos? Do you have the Amazon app installed on the same device, or on a device with a microphone? My tin-foil hat theory is that the Amazon app is always listening from your phone, based on similar things happening to my wife.



  • I bought a 2020 Honda Accord, and I have absolutely zero (meaningful) complaints.

    Things I like about it so much that they are requirements for future car purchases:

    • Adaptive cruise control
    • Brake-holding
    • Tactile inputs for media, cruise control, or climate control (almost wasn’t going to mention this, but new cars are shifting away from this, which I can’t stand)
    • A respectably-snappy infotainment system that supports CarPlay

    Little things:

    • Adaptive cruise control is always ready to be set, so I can just head out and immediately start using it (I’m one of those people who likes to use cruise control at every possible opportunity)
    • Comfortably seats 4, if I ever need it to
    • It just looks nice, inside and out, in my opinion
