- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 4 days ago:
Usually I use them, but not if I’m the only car on the road, and not in my city’s roundabouts.
The roundabouts are abnormally small, so using a blinker to exit is confusing for everyone because I’d be signalling to turn for the exit I need, but the roundabout is so small that the wrong cars will think I’m exiting before them and pull out in front of me. When really, I’d be signalling for the exit immediately after them while trying to provide time for that exit’s car to see my intentions.
Also people in this city don’t understand roundabouts. I see people enter the wrong way semi-regularly, stop in the middle of the roundabout to let people in, use a left blinker to enter a roundabout that only goes around to the left, and treat every empty roundabout as a 4-way stop. Its pretty frustrating sometimes.
Sorry, we were talking about blinkers and, in some roundabout way, I got off topic lol
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 week ago:
I’ve gotten passive agressive / aggressive about this depending on the person.
Now if I ask more than one question and they only answer one, I’ll just forward them the same email again with the first question struck through.

Plenty of sim racing on Linux. Just not iracing or (I think) rfactor.
But Automobilista 2, AC, ACC, ACEvo, Raceroom, Dirt Rally 2.0, Beam. Ng drive, and others all run fine on my gaurda machine

Do you only play games with kernel level anti-cheat? Because those are literally the only games i haven’t been able to play, and fortunately for me I don’t want to play those games.

GrqpheneOS has a second pin on your lock screen which, when keyed in, immediately makes the storage contents permanently inaccessible, deletes all Esims, and powers the device off. Graphene will remain installed.
There are also “panic button” apps out there that do similar stuff.
Then there’s the good ole, put it in the microwave, or taking a nail-gun to it
- Comment on Which game is it? 4 weeks ago:
Haha I did volunteer at a track for a bit and they paid me in rally car lessons, driving one of their WRXs through the woods, which was a blast.
They were convinced I’d done it before because before they taught me how, I was already good at left foot braking and could smoothly heel-toe while shifting, but in reality I hadn’t driven an IRL stick shift for more than a few hours at most. That’s not to say I didn’t make some silly mistakes though lol
Bought an FR-S recently and once I get some new tires on it, I’m gonna see how I do on a not-dirt track!
Anyway I’ve switched to PC now, if anyone wants to race…

- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 1 month ago:
I love how California basically defines a sale as “exchanging things for money” and Firefox is like, “its such a craaazy world we can’t even agree on the definition of exchanging things for money out here! Some call it a ‘sale’ apparently, so if we’re gonna exchange your data for money I guess we have to call it a ‘sale’… Stupid California, changing things to mean what they’ve always meant”

Make the libertarians do it! /s
Idk, ive fixed a pothole or two that bothered me near home, but yeah, I’m not doing a whole city lol
I think though that once people realize the onus is on them to fix things, people will start to fix things. Provided of course, that they have the means and ability to do so.
And then, there are still companies which can be hired to do these things, provided someone is willing to pay them

Does that mean people want to live in a China-like situation where you cannot own the land your property is on? No.
I mean good luck with that basically anywhere.
If you don’t pay your property taxes, your fucking neighbor can just take your home by paying them for you, and that’s if the State doesn’t take it and sell it first.
