Did he use that filter purely for anonymity? He looks better without it.

The lower the mass sits, the better the truck handles.
If you have something heavy (like a battery pack) which you need to include in the design somewhere, putting it as low to the ground as safely possible is the right choice. So that’s not a stupid decision at all. It’s what literally all EV makers do because it’s objectively the right way to place the battery pack.

Watching that clip, I don’t see the typical signs of a battery fire. So I guess, wade mode did in fact keep the battery dry. Wading through a stream reaching to the top of the wheels would probably work fine. But if you stay in the water, it eventually gets through to some electronics and power is cut off by the overcurrent protection. So just don’t do that.

Obviously, wading ain’t swimming. The mode is probably useful in some edge cases. Driving straight into a lake just isn’t one of them.

Depends on the environment. When camping, in a tent without a floor, putting on each shoe right after the sock allows parking the shoed foot on the dirt while putting on the next sock and shoe.
But putting on both socks and then putting on both shoes is the default.

I got app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin from the kzd overlay. The overlay is in the eselect repository list.

If you actually need a car, this one is the most important cost saving measure:

• Drive a reasonably sized car which isn’t optimized to exploit laws made for trucks.

It’s Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.

Yeah, Gentoo isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
And don’t worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It’s all about choice after all…

Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.

It’s called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it’s not knowledge.

Nah, AI isn’t that good. When you don’t properly review every single line twice, you get the most absurd bullshit you’ve ever seen.
I use Claude Code Opus daily btw.

Sounds just like the usual crazy to me. Better stay away. It’s not worth it if you aren’t also crazy yourself.

Nah, Linux isn’t made by Apple.

Distros basically are OSes. You get some choices of kernel with some choices of userland and some choices of desktop environment. Additionally, you get some update mechanism and optionally some customized looks, tools, and/or sets of settings. That’s all what an OS really is.

To be fair, I did recommend Window 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 to random people. It somehow stopped.
I play on Gentoo, btw.

The owner of Valve and therefore Steam.
Steam is a typical middle man business taking 30% (unsuccessful games) to 20% (extremely successful games) from the overwhelming majority of all PC game purchases.
Not selling on Steam is basically financial suicide for game devs because Steam is a quasi monopoly. Most PC gamers only buy there (rather than on a dev’s own site, GOG, Itch or anywhere else). So game devs pay the Gabe toll - just like almost all phone app devs pay the Apple and Google tolls.

Big media calling her a communist is all it needs to destroy a candidate in Murica.

Computing was never as great as it is now. Never before did we have so much free open source software at such a high level of quality to use and tinker with. Never before was it this easy to find help for the most obscure problems. Never before was playing on Linux a viable option.

But online and offline social networking really got enshittified a lot. 3rd spaces online like offline are fully commercialized. Online, everything is remembered and if it can be used against you, it will be used against you either by the government or some rando just because they can.
But you can use a VPN and as many pseudonyms as you need to properly separate your community-specific personas. And if you live in a city of religious fanatics, the internet also is a great to find like-minded people. There are communities for everything.

Some of the illegal streaming sites still have search, sorting, and filtering.

Every picture taken after the first is also an “after” picture.
