  • Tl;dr: for those who want a less efficient EV but want to feel like real men driving a real car hearing real noise, you now have another choice.

    For those who enjoy lighter, more efficient EVs that are more on track with emissions reduction goals and use less material, you probably won’t like it.

    All the “real” stuff is /s btw, this car’s target is dumbasses like my dad who fail to understand that “the good driving sensation” ceases to be a pertinent factor when it increases pollution or dangerosity. Which also seems to be the case of the author of this article.






  • Thanks for sharing, this looks awesome ! I can’t waut for the opensource release.

    Btw, did I skip through the article too fast or is tomhardware unable to provide links in its content ? /rant

    Anyway, here are the ones that seemed relevant to me.

    Official website (kinda empty at the moment, but it’s going in my bookmarks)

    Author’s Youtube channel

    Hackernews original discussion in which the author states:

    Let’s be clear here, this is a toy. Beyond being a fun project to work on that could maybe get my foot in the door were I ever to decide to change careers and move into hardware design, this is not going to change the GPU landscape or compete with any of the commercial players. What it might do is pave the way for others to do interesting things in this space. A board with all of the video hardware that you can plug into a computer with all the infrastructure available to play around with accelerating graphics could be a fun, if extremely niche, product. That would also require a significant time and money investment from me, and that’s not something I necessarily want to deal with. When this is eventually open-sourced, those who really are interested could make their own boards.











  • You don’t get paid money “just for existing”.

    You get paid money to pretend you enjoy the company of the guy who tips, even if he’s the biggest piece of shit you’ve ever met. You get paid money not to hit him in the balls when he says sexist and degrading things about you. You get paid money not to break his nose when you hear him saying racist stuff to his friends. You get paid to say “remember, no touching” with a smile instead of pepper-spraying him when the guy touches your ass although you explicitely told him not to before.

    You don’t only get told you are beautiful and sexy. You also get told that you’ll only have value as long as people find you beautiful and sexy. You are not complimented on your ethics, your intellect, your achievements - and you know that these would not get you any tips if you didn’t have a body men 20 years older than you find beautiful and sexy.

    Please stop romanticizing sexual exploitation in a capitalistic world. It’s at least as stupid as romanticizing the grind, or the billionaire’s success.



  • I've been using DeltaChat (available on F-Droid) for a few months now.

    What I like about it is that because it's email based, it uses OpenPGP for encryption, making it easy to have compatibility with other email-based solutions.

    If you want to go the extra-secure route, you and your contacts can even self-host your emails - as long as you're not going to send messages to people on Gmail or other big providers, you can avoid your messages being treated as spam.

    The multi-device support is still a bit rough around the edges, but has gotten better in the last few months since the app is under active development.
