Yes Europe is mostly manual. You pay a heavy premium to get a car with automatic transmission. Anecdotally, I bought a Skoda ~5 years ago and had to pay ~20% more for automatic transmission than manual.

Did you even bother to read the article?

Luckily, the creators of the NERV App, Gehirn Inc, have created an app-based alternative for users to get information in real-time, as well as running a Mastodon account

The same could be said about a lot of sources of income. It’s subjective what is considered a job.

Way to ignore the death of two people, and hijack the discussion for your own opinions. Good job /s

That’s fine. But it crashes constantly on Linux, rarely on Windows. Point being that not all games run fine on Linux.

Let me know when you get Witcher 2 to run on Linux. With some tinkering and magic settings, it can run. But it crashes so often it is bordering unplayable, using several different versions of Proton in Steam and Pop! Os.

I’m not sure what your point is? We’re taking about ownership, not whether you can reverse engineer sine DRM.

Ohh yeah, Microsoft. I own Forza 7 Motorsport. It’s installed on my hard drive. Microsoft killed the servers so I can’t even play single player because the tracks weren’t included in the game. You have to download the track every time you play single player or multiplayer.

That is not the same thing. You still own the game, whether or not it is playable is not the same as not owning. Legal bs but that’s how most Western societies are built.

I’ve seen this quote repeated over and over these past few weeks, while noone brothers to actually explain what it means and why. This article is no different unfortunately.

The question is, what alternative are we going to have, if all auto makers start doing this?

BBC article states “Italian MPs have voted to back a law banning the production, sale or import of cultivated meat or animal feed, in what the right-wing government calls a defence of Italian tradition.”

Running Visual Studio in a VM? No thanks, it is heavy enough as it is. And don’t say use VS Code or Rider. Saying “Just use some other software, so you can use Linux” defeats the entire argument that Linux can be used in place of Windows.

Discord with virtual backgrounds for video calls? Yeah that’s not supported on Linux.

Try reporting the post instead.

You are joking. But https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/ is real.

After trying Linux repeatedly for some 20 years and always returning to Windows for various reasons, Pop! OS finally seems like a Linux distribution I can use as a daily driver. The amount of useful and concise documentation is great, my hardware is all supported and automatically configured, i.e. I don’t have to mess around with obscure config files to get either audio or wifi working, it works on first boot.

Next you’re going to say https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/red_hat_linux exists for fearmongering.

So because your personal taste is not in favor of this car, you don’t feel bad for people who happen to like it. Got it. Moral superiority is alive and well.

Incorrect. https://gdpr.eu/eu-gdpr-personal-data/ states IP addresses are personal data.

Its not till you get to what would be a very large SUV in Europe do you start to get to the £1k+ mark per month, or what the US would call a mid sized SUV

Driving a Mercedes EQB and paying ~£600 per month, due to banks here in Denmark making low interest car loans on EVs.

My first thought is you need to buy new network equipment to utilize 10 gbit and new ethernet cables.
