i have an ariel rider kepler, it seems like it checks your boxes with the speed and power requirements, and it does have amazing range but i’m not sure how the range would hold up if you’re constantly keeping the motor at 100% going super fast all the time. if you could manage to charge it when you get your destination, it might be good for 35 miles. or you could add another battery, i think ive seen youtube videos with the kepler getting a battery mod.
mine is “im in your walls”, going for the creepy factor
one thing i cant stand are the people that bag up their dog shit, and then leave it on a trail. immediate mood ruiner when im trying to enjoy the wonders of our planet… and i see a plastic bag of dog shit. like, you’re doing more harm than good and youre probably aware of that very fact. these people are the human equivalent of dog shit.
im very tempted to, spotify has been kinda shitty lately
(on pixels at least) if you go into your google settings from the settings app, manage your google account, data and privacy, web and app activity, google is tracking literally EVERYTHING you do on your phone if you have this on. this was the most egregious invasions of privacy I’ve ever seen, baked into android and hidden away for users to disable, and it’s even harder to disable if you dont have a pixel. google does not give a fuck about “privacy” on android, they could start by just tearing all that stuff out but thats how the money is made so we’re left with alternatives like grapheneos.

i love this quote
i remember hearing a few years ago about it costing around $200 to make the latest and greatest galaxy note 10, and it had an msrp around the thousand dollar mark. phones have MASSIVE profit margins and honestly its probably just been getting bigger and bigger since then.
ah yeah i live around seattle so i understand the need for hill-climbability, my bike was not cheap at all and it handles all the hills around here like a beast. if you ever get an opportunity to try out a 1000w ebike i think that would be able to cover the pitfalls you’re talking about, but i do agree it is a bit of an investment to get started, i definitely wouldn’t have my bike if i wasn’t able to sell my car.
i sold my car so that i could buy an ebike back in february, i now have 400 something miles on it and haven’t had to spend a dime on any maintenance (although i probably should have…) but when it comes to PEV’s they’re definitely one of those things where if you spend more money to get a better quality product you’ll have a much better experience. also since bikes are more standardized its easier to find replacement parts and if you’re willing to put the time into learning how to mess with it you wouldn’t even need to rely on a repair shop.
bluetooth works out of the box in most distros ive tried, so does my nvidia gpu, you can use office in a browser or one of its foss alternatives, and ive had no issues with steam either thanks to valve giving a fuck about linux. what are you going on about?
beloved link light rail ❤️ this stop has the trippiest escalators ever
living in the pnw rn is great my lungs feel spicy
just got 2 lenovos to begin my self hosted journey B)
ive owned a pixel 2 xl, 4, 5, and currently on a 6 xl, ive enjoyed my pixels but (mostly in the case with the 4 and 5) they have some sorta dealbreaker. my 2 xl was great but the regular sized 4 was notorious for horrible battery, which it definitely had, so i got a 5 when it came out which was a decent phone but i wanted more speed and 120hz so when the 6 series came out i thought it would be a good upgrade to stay on. at first the bugs were kinda bad but they’ve been ironed out. at this point im just sad my bootloader is locked so i cant install grapheneos 😔 as for whether i wanna stay with pixels, i dont enjoy googles spying so if another good pixel comes out thats worth upgrading to in a few years comes out i may get an unlocked one, or just jump ship entirely
huh… i thought it stood for mainline cus its thr instance the main devs run
federation with meta will bring nothing but evil into our niche little corner of the net and i am not for it.
i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.
it is pretty difficult to pedal on its own, the kepler is a 70lb bike with its battery. but i can still feel my legs doing work when i set the assist low and i can get it going on flat ground when i turn off the motor.
