  • For me right now? Mazda. They have always been enjoyable to drive, and if you look at their interiors in everything from the MX-5 and Mazda3 up to their big family SUVs, you see physical controls in the foreground and a moderately sized infotainment screen up and back. Good location for glancing at it, and not for using a touch screen for everything in the car.

    I’ve been commuting in a 2012 mazda3 for several years and it’s been fun to drive and mechanically reliable. Also very fuel efficient with one of the early Skyactiv branded drivetrains.



  • I was that same way with Firefox for a while, but after I gave Librewolf a long-term test drive I stuck with it.

    If you’re used to Firefox with the privacy stuff cranked up, from a user perspective Librewolf is basically just that. But I like knowing that some of the Mozilla stuff is actually removed.

    They also roll out updates quickly. I’m pretty sure I updated Firefox and Librewolf to 136.0.1 today just hours apart.


  • It’s important for everybody to not just assume the people on your own team, or the people that look like you, are being truthful and arguing in good faith.

    That goes for everybody, but it seems pretty consistent that you need to me more wary of it as you move towards the conservative end of the scale. And conveniently for those politicians, the citizens on that end of the scale are the worst at cutting through the BS. Arguably that’s what landed them there in the first place!











  • Oh YouTube. You are in such a dominant position for talented individuals who want to create their own TV show. You’ve been pissing people off for a long time, but changing what “YouTube” even is seems way worse.

    I will even pay the $15 for my family to be able to easily watch or listen to whatever they want in a native app on whatever platform they’re using. And I like how it makes my views more valuable to the creators I care about.

    But if it’s not cheap, easy, AND ad-free, it is not difficult to block ads or even download videos I care about onto my Jellyfin server.
