Forza Horizon 6. Saw a whole bunch of videos of people going ga ga for it. Was excited. It finally releases proper on steam, and it doesn’t work with a wheel. The cars feel AWFUL, more like hovercrafts than cars. The super corporate, cheesy bullshit “story”. Very glad I bought on steam so I can get my seventy fucking dollars back. What a shitshow. A very, very pretty shitshow.


THIS QUARTER’S earnings reports. sigh
Idiocracy is my favorite accidental documentary.


I bought the plex pass at the same price. I’ve been using jellyfin for just over a year now. Had to set up tailscale for remote access, but it’s worth it to use an open source tool.
East/West facing vertical panels are pretty impressive. The peak output at noon is lower than south facing angled placement, but there is a boost from East and from West before and after solar azimuth that pushes overall output higher.

For me, the primary benefit is that it’s NOT my smartphone. Music is a separate, intentional thing, divorced from the pocket distraction machine. YMMV.


It’s only cringe if it’s from the cringé region of france, otherwise, it’s just sparkling shame.


Sim racing works great for me. Anything from Moza, Logitech, and even my PXN wheel “just worked” out of the box on cachyOS. Bazzite is now getting wheel support. I did have to add USB descriptors for udev rules on my simmsonn pedals, and also learn to always disable steam input and use glorious eggroll proton. JacKeTus did a fantastic job with the ffb driver and I see him on matrix ALL THE TIME helping newbies and getting stuff working.


Nah, he would have removed his DE.


I have known amazing humans that are bad artists. Out of respect for the person, I have complimented their efforts at art. There are many great artists that are horrible humans. I have begrudgingly complimented their art.
There is room for both.


Bambaata raped a kid? Shit, looks like I have some uncomfortable reading to do. Shame.

I really like the simsonn plus x pedals I picked up. The brake pedal has way better feel and modulation, and they’re adjustable about a billion ways to Sunday. I haven’t adjusted anything yet because I’m working on a frame to invert them out of 2020 extrusion.
The r5 should work perfectly out of the box, and install boxflat to do any tweaking you may need. Hopefully you take the plunge and things work well for you.
Just got into sim racing as a longtime Linux user. iRacing doesn’t work because they’re lazy about enabling anticheat, but ac, beamng, and others work great. What hardware do you have in your rig? FFB “just worked” with my pxn vd6, and I had to write up some udev rules to get my simsonn load cell pedals running, but it’s been smooth so far. There is a matrix chat you can join from simracingonlinux dot com that has excellent information and folks to help.
Then Linux Mint is what you’re looking for.


emacs is a fantastic operating system, it just lacks a good editor.


Fair point. I really do wish it were more than “Pixel, or MotorolaSoonTM” for hardware choices. Who knows, though. Maybe other manufacturers will join the party.
