I disagree that changing lanes "creates more traffic." Even moving right for 30 seconds allows faster traffic behind you to move over. In fact, lots of country roads have passing lanes open up for 2 km stretches where cars are expected to move over only for that distance.

Where I am the on ramps aren't so frequent that it's implausible to move over once in a while when there's an onramp.

I probably would have slowed down considerably on the straightaways, giving them more time to pass. It's not just for the other driver's sake, but for my own; it's not safe to be tailgated like that

The speed limit is usually 65 on highways by me, and if the fella is doing 75, can he not stay in the middle lane?

Traffic flows more smoothly when drivers keep to the right when possible, even if you're speeding a little bit.

"space on both sides"

Please keep to the right when you are able.

I mean... the official Reddit app was so bad that they had to charge for API access in order to get real market share.

M CPUs make me a believer in ARM and other non-x86 chips, but preferably RISC-V in the long term.

Keyboard is critical to me. I can work on a MacBook keyboard short term but something like a Glove80 or at least an Ergodox is critical for me in the long term.

Also OS X Unix is nix enough for me.

Also:

  1. People move near a racetrack.
  2. People complain about the racetrack.
  3. Racetrack gets shut down.
  4. People complain about all of the lunatics racing on public roads.

My 80s Miyata road bike has frame shifters for its 2x transmission.

  • Use it without OneDrive being bundled
  • Use it without a Microsoft account
  • Use it without ads
  • Use it without Copilot

Yes, I know there are ways around each of these but the settings are all in different places, Microsoft keeps changing where the settings are, resetting to defaults on OS updates, and at least for trying to use it without a Microsoft account, actively closing loopholes for doing so.
