BYD is very popular here in Australia. Tried one out and it just goes.

It’s a bird

I just can’t take the accent seriously, plus it’s so grating

That’s how the rest of the world feels about (North) American accents, btw.

Sailfish is great if you live in Europe and are able to buy a Sony phone. I used it for a few years in the UK and I’d love to continue to use it in Australia, but Telstra has decided to disable phones bought overseas; Sony doesn’t directly sell phones here, so I’m out of luck😢

Just laugh and move on. It’s not going to happen.

These people have no idea what they’re talking about. They think that the developers of four hundred Linux distros, FreeDOS, Haiku, *nix, the BSDs, are even going to bother trying. Then you have industrial boxen running obsolete operating systems, routers, all the network devices that run the internet.

EDIT: and then every application that runs on every platform also needs to be updated. Like that’s going to happen.

If they really cared about the children, they would just physically cut the cables at the Colorado border. That’s the only way that any sort of access control can be enforced.

I discovered it when I was an adult

Me too, only a year or so ago. I’m 58

When I discovered that I am autistic, and probably have ADHD, I realised that I really had been the weird bad guy all my life.

No, he’s just having a senile moment.

• Be excellent to each other
• If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you ever tried
• If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment
• The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing

I’ve only ever ridden mine a few tens of meters above the ground, but you’re right, still high enough to hurt if I fell off. It’s not really as unstable as you make out, more like a floating mat in a swimming pool.

Been touch typing Dvorak for about 25 years, qwerty for about 10 years before that. My hands used to feel tired at the end of the day, when I broke my wrist the occupational nurse suggested Dvorak, so when it healed I taught myself to type Dvorak. Probably a few weeks to learn, six months to get speed. (The advantage of a cushy government job). I can type all day now without problems. If you’re going to spend any significant time at a keyboard, I personally think it’s worth investing the time to learn to type properly, whatever layout you choose to use.

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now
Looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
