Cars. Some people like to talk about how sturdy cars used to be, but with all of the advancements in safety, if I were in a head-on collision between an old Plymouth and a Toyota Prius, I'd much rather be in the Prius.

What frustrates the hell out of me is that these warning flags are being raised in opinion sections and not in main articles in news outlets. It also frustrates me that local news outlets, where a vast majority of people throughout America still get their news, has not been covering this at all.

What about Biden is bad exactly? Yeah, he's old. Yeah, he has the exact same position on Israel as literally every US president since its inception. But what about Biden makes him not "good" in your eyes?

I support Biden not because he's an anti-Trump, but because he's a genuinely good man who gets things done. He knows how to work the system and gets results.

Assuming you're not American and are unfamiliar with our bicameral legislature: Mitch McConnell is a Republican senator from Kentucky who served as the Senate Majority Leader when Republicans held a majority in the Senate. Mike Johnson, on the other hand, is a Republican representative in the House of Representatives--the other half of Congress--who was elected to the position of Speaker by a majority of House Republicans. The Speaker is second in line to the Presidency and actually be held by anyone. However, at no time has Mitch McConnell been Speaker of the House.

If you are American: Jesus Christ go back to civics class.

I got my Framework 13 in February 2022 and I love it. I'll end up getting the AMD mainboard when it becomes more widely available, then take my old mainboard and RAM, put them in an enclosure, and make that my new NAS. Then my current NAS, which is just a Raspberry Pi, I'll turn that into a PiHole.

Autumn Playlist - Spotify (open.spotify.com)

This is an autumn-themed playlist that I've been curating for a while. It's not necessarily songs about autumn, but rather songs that, for me at least, evoke feelings of walking through a crisp, cool forest with leaves crunching under foot.

I'm using Gnome on Fedora and was wondering what terminal everyone's using? When I had a Mac I really liked iTerm2 and was hoping to find a suitable Linux version, but so far no such luck. I've tried Guake but I can't get the F12 binding to work.

Preferably, I'd like to find a terminal that can display system stats the same way as iTerm2.

This was literally me in the first episode seeing the E-wings, having not realized that's what they were in the initial trailers. My wife, who's a Star Wars fan but never really got into the old EU like I did, didn't understand my enthusiasm.

Fedora does the same thing where you can choose between RPM or Flatpak. The only flatpak package I've ever had problems with was OnlyOffice, and the issue was that the scaling was blown way out of proportions. Switching to the RPM version resolved that.
