wait is THAT why my mint edge iso randomly fucking sends me back to login screen??

ooh boy, and I was going to do pop!OS on my main rig thinking mint wasn’t good for gaming.

Been using Mint for about a month now on my daily laptop. It’s nice, not having to deal with windows’ bullshit, but on the other hand I’ve had a number of issues with it; most recently, it sort of reboots itself every so often randomly. That, and issues with not being able to hear high fidelity audio on a bluetooth headset while also using the headset’s mic (there’s a codec that let’s me use both mic and audio, but the audio is low quality).

Usually though issues get fixed with an update, just gotta check the update manager often.

can’t believe it got cancelled, it was really good

there’s a lot of abbreviations in the article that I don’t understand or know lol. what’s a BEV? HPEV? etc.

Good article tho. From my limited view prices definitely are a huge limiting factor for electric vehicles, though they brought up a good point about the charge times. I guess if people treated it like their phones (charge every night) then it wouldn’t be a problem?

Honestly not surprised that demand has dropped for them though. Anyone who was interested in it has either decided it’s not worth it or already has one. Price puts them out of most people’s budget, and with rising costs and stagnant wages, people can’t really afford to take on monthly payments anymore. The environmental friendliness of them is heavily marketed, but won’t bring into effect the large scale, immediate change we need to slow climate change. Plus there’s the whole Tesla thing with delayed shipping and paywalling features built into software (admittedly not up to brush with Tesla tho).

For a while they were a new, impressive technology, and while I still think they’re cool, until they become very, very cheap and accessible, I won’t be getting one. The fad is starting to die out.

The onion is a news satire website that posts false stories made to appear believable in every aspect other than the content of the story.

Not The Onion is a play on that, in which real news stories are posted that appear like they could or would be fake news stories posted on the Onion.

News articles on this community have nothing to do with the onion, other than being so insane and ridiculous that, at first or passing glances, it would seem like a story from the Onion, when in reality, it’s not the onion.

I mean unless you’re able to do it in your head in less than a minute, bringing a tape measure would probably be faster and easier.
