This is simply not true in my experience. Basically everyone I know has to deal with all kinds of shit when installing Linux. Broken graphics drivers, random freezes, the touchpad disabling after closing the laptop, wifi not working, etc. There's always something. Now I don't mind fixing that, because I enjoy Linux more despide all of these issues. Andost of my friends manage to solve it as well because they're programmers like me. But the average person might not be able to solve it and will feel like they're constantly interacting with a broken system.

Hmmm, so this means they will have to do every quali session (for instance Q3) on the same set of tires from start to end. I'm wondering if this will lead to less action during the quali. With only one set of tires, it will hurt you if you push too early in (for instance) Q3 and ruin the tires before the circuit becomes days at the end of Q3. This is probably better in Q1 and Q2 due to the harder tires, but Q3 might not lead to the desired effect.

It surprises me that so many people think it didn't fail. Remainers, which as far as I can remember nearly made up 50%, will almost all think it has failed from the start because they see the whole Brexit as a failed idea. And many Brexiteers seemed to have very unrealistic ideas about Brexit, seemingly thinking that they could just boss the EU around and get everything their way. And because we don't live in their fairytale Brexit utopia world, they would always have been disappointed. Add to that the general incompetency of the Conservatives and it's honestly quite astounding that anyone still thinks it's going well.

The Hungarian one is always nice, happy to see it again. It has some character

Shelob is a girlboss and Eowyn is definitely a girlboss

Nope, I'm European so I've never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn't mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow

Damn I just woke up from a midday nap, wondering what year it is. Very relatable meme

Also Rocket League. I've got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can't do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.

During my master's degree we had a course where we had to make a small app or data collection thingy using the Mastodon api (or something, can't fully remember). So I was aware it existed, and contemplated joining at a few points. Ultimately though, I just don't really vibe with Twitter-like social media. After Reddit did the thing, I saw Lemmy, which suits me way better. I like it so far. I'm donating a small amount of money to help with keeping the instance running, and I hope this remains a cool place to be for many years to come.

Dear god, please stop these street races. They're fun for a few races, but real circuits are often just way more enjoyable imo

Sheesh that sounds like hell. I hope the pain subsides soon for you.
