That is such a strange looking steering wheel.

A big selling point for Android is that it isn't controlled by a single manufacturer (in contrast to Apple). Yet they all seemed to converge on the same design so the choices are quite limited.

I want my fucking buttons back. Not only easier to type on, but on-screen keyboards eat so much of the screen real estate. Give me a slide-out keyboard.

Most "SUVs" are actually crossovers. Which are just hatchbacks, wagons, and non-sliding door minivans. Take an Impreza hatchback and lift it 3 inches, and suddenly it's an "SUV."

But yeah, sedans w/trunks are becoming a bit of a rarity.

Yay, I never left having physical controls for things like HVAC controls and volume.

Touchscreens are great for context-sensitive controls, but less so for things that should be accessible at all times and usable without looking.

We even passed a bill where I live (Washington state), but Congress hasn't approved it so we're stuck. Wonder what would happen if we just did it anyway. What is the U.S. government going to do, send the cops after our state legislature?

I have a north-facing apartment, and the super-early sunset makes me sad.

The batteries in my Logitech wireless trackball and keyboard last several months to more than a year. The keyboard in particular lasts really long. I have these on my work computer, so they are getting heavy use.

"No Country for Old Men" feels like a movie from a previous era.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

I use Element. I've tested a few others but have stuck with Element.

I also use Beeper, which at its core is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You actually do create a Matrix account for it, and I have tested messages between Element and Beeper though it has limited features.

I use Beeper to aggregate messaging from various platforms and for easy availability of text messages on my PC. It has a specific "Note to self" section that I've found useful for messaging myself.

At its core, Beeper is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You could probably do the same thing with an Element client.
