I’m in the market for some tools but I couldn’t find anything I need that’s Canadian. There’s a huge fucking ocean between us and Canada, it’s not gonna be smooth trading.

I probably have as many technical issues updating Linux as I do Windows.

I like a GUI updater but the Plasma Discover one is so shit, it errors almost every time. I keep it for updating the odd flatpak, etc, but I always have to update from the terminal first.
The best car we ever owned was a 2007 Tiguan so when we went to shop for an electric car for my wife we made sure to check theirs out. I’m not surprised they’re failing. We looked at an ID3 because she wants a small one and it was more expensive than the others we looked at and it had far fewer features. My wife can’t park for shit and the ID3 didn’t even have 360 degree cameras as an option, never mind self-park (something our 2007 Tiguan had).
It felt fast, I’ll give it that, but other than that it just felt stingy and barebones, not to mention it’s ugly. The inside felt like some Scandinavian minimalist thing, but it felt cold and empty rather than cosy; I was half expecting an echo. All the trim was just plain plastic with no textures or anything. The computer was crap and the voice control was annoying. The sales guy was talking like the car would sell itself but we walked away with no interest in it whatsoever.
Then we looked at a Suzuki, which was basically a Toyota, and it was two grand cheaper for a car that was less than six months old and had 360 degree cameras. It had all the features (except self-parking) and felt much more premium.
