Absolute chads. I’m curious what kind of response this is going to get.

This is simply not true in my experience. Basically everyone I know has to deal with all kinds of shit when installing Linux. Broken graphics drivers, random freezes, the touchpad disabling after closing the laptop, wifi not working, etc. There’s always something. Now I don’t mind fixing that, because I enjoy Linux more despide all of these issues. Andost of my friends manage to solve it as well because they’re programmers like me. But the average person might not be able to solve it and will feel like they’re constantly interacting with a broken system.

It surprises me that so many people think it didn’t fail. Remainers, which as far as I can remember nearly made up 50%, will almost all think it has failed from the start because they see the whole Brexit as a failed idea. And many Brexiteers seemed to have very unrealistic ideas about Brexit, seemingly thinking that they could just boss the EU around and get everything their way. And because we don’t live in their fairytale Brexit utopia world, they would always have been disappointed. Add to that the general incompetency of the Conservatives and it’s honestly quite astounding that anyone still thinks it’s going well.

Sorry for being pedantic, but it’s “Ruud” not “Rudd”. I’ve noticed that the same mistake often gets made with other Dutch spellings, like the Haas F1 team being written as “Hass” online. Do repeated vowels feel weird or something to people who don’t speak Dutch, or is it just a coincidence?

Not impossible indeed. Though I’m not sure there will be fireworks. It’s not like Hamilton and Russell or Leclerc and Sainz are creating a lot of drama.

It’s impressive how McLaren managed to rise. The battle behind Max is heating up yet again. I felt like Lando’s talent was being wasted with the previous car, so it’s good to see that he’s up to his usual shenanigans again now. Also cool to see Piastri being right up there with Norris. Het had a lot of hype around him, and so far that seems to have been for the right reasons. I would be very surprised if McLaren would stay at this level consistently, but I’d be very satisfied to see them in the mix with Ferrari, Mercedes, and Aston, depending on the track.

Damn what an ending of Q1. Times just came tumbling down. Happy to see Williams through, the dream lives on

I wasn’t really aware that Keti Koti had a kind of remembrance day format. It’s hard for me as a white Dutchman to truly understand the complexities of the situation, but we can all agree that slavery was horrible and that having a remembrance ceremony like this is a good thing. The apology seemed sincere and well received.

Not too surprised that Nyck is under pressure tbh. Alpha Tauri picking up Nyck was already a bit of a surprise for me, since they have quite some talent at the ready. His Monza race was amazing, but I think people extrapolated a bit too much from that one race.

As a Dutchman I do hope that Nyck manages to turn this around though. Having two Dutch drivers in F1 is very cool

Yeah imo it definitely sounds a bit sus as well. It sounds weirdly clean compared to his other communication, has no video (unlike most other communication that I’ve seen), and although I don’t speak Russian the pauses in his speech and the way he’s speaking in the recording in general feel off. It could totally be real, but it does feel very convenient that he just stops like this with help from Lukashenko of all people. We’ll see soon enough though.

Speedrunning the UK economy into the ground wasn’t funny. The lettuce was
