Everyone could have seen this coming years ago. I still remember the first images from the ICE facilities where small children were separated from their parents and held in steel cages. Google it, it was heartbreaking.

That was the moment I realized where the US was headed.

It didn't even cause much protest, people were just shrugging it off. These were not humans, but immigrants, after all. Being from Germany I had a good understanding of the depths of inhumanity ICE was already willing to entertain back then. US Americans not only let this happen, they wanted more of it. Now they're getting it.

Either these "safety drivers" are staying, making the whole operation ridiculously expensive or they go, plunging the service into abject chaos. This is fun to watch from far away.

Der Witz: für diese Grundgesetzänderung fände sich wahrscheinlich schnell eine Mehrheit.

Oof, these highlighted parts from only one video are already enough for me. This looks very stressful, I don't think I could finish a whole ride with one of these.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Watching the video that's still pretty tame. Not good, but nothing to make the news either. I expect much worse.

I wonder how long the facade will hold. They can't restrict the service to pro-Tesla influencers forever and the safety guys will have to go eventually. How long before weird or dangerous incidents start to happen? Days, weeks? It won't take months, of that I am certain.

Execute "ujust" and marvel at what's possible right out of the box. If you used KDE check out some simple tips on how to configure cool windows effects. A little wobble makes all the difference. Browse the apps you can install, there are some pretty neat things in there you probably never heard of before.

And don't forget: once you got the things you want working, let the system fade into the background. No need to constantly tinker with your distribution unless you enjoy it.

Oh but Europe can do something about it, it would only take a long time and be very costly.

That's pretty sweet, though!

I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

No social media site can exist without a section dedicated to trackballs, the arguably superior input method.

The previous communities went stale, so here is my take on it. Looking forward to welcoming the tens of people interested in this topic!

This baby is a chunky one: the base is a hefty GMMK 3 Pro with Glorious Fox Red Heavy switches. I put Cerakey black caps on it.

How would I describe it? Typing is almost ethereal, with the weight of the caps doing a lot of the work. It sounds very deep and creamy with the space bar punctuating each word like Thor's hammer, if you hit it hard enough. The caps are an absolute dream to touch, they feel warm and so, so smooth.

I struck gold with this build, typing is just a joy. I will try even more resistant linear switches, though.

Keycaps with rare materials (discuss.tchncs.de)

I've fallen in love with ceramic keycaps and built two very heavy but very satisfying keyboards with them. But now I crave for more.

One thing that I find somewhat disappointing is the fact that I never found any other vendors besides cerakey for ceramic caps. It's not that I don't like them, but I could go for other styles and layouts given the opportunity.

The other thing is that I would like to explore other materials. I've found wooden caps, again only from exactly one vendor and stainless steel caps by yet another single vendor.

What I would much rather try out are aluminum and glass, both materials I could imagine being pretty great for typing.

And maybe there are other options I haven't even considered yet?

Give me your best shops/stores with rare materials caps, I'm really interested!

Elon, the government doesn't need DOGE. But Tesla does need DOGE because it's spending money inefficiently.

 

WTF, ist das nicht ein Fall für den MAD?
