Have one on me

I mean I can’t see what the comment was and I’m assuming it must’ve been downright hateful, but that person almost certainly has learned a foreign language just to communicate with the world and in fact had to learn another foreign language in school because their name is Estonian for “gypsy” and learning two foreign languages (usually English and Russian, sometimes German or something else for the second foreign language) is required. Likely they speak 2.5 languages as is common here (my German is so bad I count it as half a language - native speakers speak too fast for me, but I can kinda get my point across if needed), but could be more.

Just pointing out that even when trying to be accepting of others, subtle anglo-defaultism can show up in your comment, not that I necessarily agree with whatever the comment was.

That as well, but I just don’t have a job requiring me to use windows.

I figured that’s what you thought. To be fair, using Microsoft also makes me want to kms. Luckily I don’t have to.

Kms is key management services.

Why massgrave is called that, I have no idea.

If you had the facelift with the LED DRLs, that would’ve been the superior 239 hp one and if you had a pre-facelift 3.0 tdi, that would’ve been either 230 or 224 (ish) hp.

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the Tiptronic either, but I do like its longevity and relative simplicity if I need to rebuild it. In a BMW it would be possible to flash it for higher line pressure and faster shifts, but unfortunately not the case for Audi.

For my next car I’m looking to ideally get something with an 8HP or 9G-Tronic box. Aisin 8 speed as a backup option. Haven’t actually driven either of those 8-speeds somehow, but I had a W205 C-class with 9G for over 2 years and it was sublime. Kicking down even 4 gears at once was quick as hell and outside of sport+ you couldn’t ever feel any of the shifts, even though they were always quick

Tbf the 230hp diesel isn’t great. If I hadn’t bought this thing for under 2000 EUR in a pinch, I would’ve preferred the 239 hp (176 kW) version. Better fuel economy, more torque, little bit more reliable chain tensioner. Or quite honestly, I would’ve preferred BMW or MB’s inline 6 diesel engines.

But mine’s still going strong at 400k km, original chains AFAIK. Transmission stopped working altogether 2 weeks ago. Opened it up and saw a 2007 date on the filter. NEVER changed before, fluid was probably original too. Changed the mechatronic seals (14€), transmission fluid and filter (~180€) and it behaves like new. I was very sure I’d have to rebuild the transmission. I’ve done about 20k km on it myself so far.

My only gripes: Would prefer the newer engine variant from the facelift; Would prefer a manual transmission.

As for snow - I don’t know, I haven’t been able to get it stuck. We’ve got a whole bunch of snow here in Estonia this winter, but the plows are working fine and the ability to raise it has been nice. I have exceptionally good studded winter tires fitted too.

I’ve also had a 4matic car which performed pretty decently in snow, but not as good as Quattro. But then I’ve done mild off roading in snow with FWD cars too lol, key is great winter tires, skill and (this is important) patience.

If I could have a Levorg with the turbo engine AND a manual transmission, I’d prefer it over the Audi any day of the week, fuel economy be damned. Unfortunately I don’t see any turbo models on sale here and apparently they were never made with manual transmission :(

I guess for anyone buying the car new, the CVT likely wouldn’t be an issue. I just don’t have faith in them lasting long term. And I like to buy my cars used and depreciated.

I love/hate Subaru

They’ve never had a good diesel engine. The one they did have would split crankshafts IIRC.

Their petrol engines are pretty boring unless turbocharged… And in Europe they don’t do a lot of turbos outside of the WRX and STI models

Oh and CVT longevity kinda sucks too

But on the other hand, the AWD is excellent, Outback as a taller but not too tall wagon was very comfy (now it’s a crossover sadly), especially in the slightly tallet USDM version. Etc.

My ex got our Outback and I replaced it with the cheapest available A6 Allroad. Much better vehicle in all but reliability though in its defense it has twice the kilometers and is 6 years older (2007 vs 2013). Better driving dynamics, fuel economy, comfort, and ride height can be low or high. Also has a traditional autobox.

Am I the only one for whom it’s easier to use the middle finger with the other finger next to it rather than with the index finger?

Prints out what shell you’re using. Bash is default for most Linux distros. MacOS switched from bash to zsh as their default. Zsh is hella customizable, by default it functions more or less like bash.

Fish is cool, has neat quality of life features out of the box, but can also break scripts sometimes.

It’s great. It’s crack. It gets you really high.

It’s like 5% actually interesting fantasy world building and 95% shitty romance.

I actually enjoyed that 5% but not enough to read or watch the other 95% again.

Tbf it’s his project so he can do whatever he wants

Issue is when people do things like that one dude who had Claude implement support for DWARF in… Whatever language it was (Something MLy I think?) and literally didn’t even remove the copyright attribution to some random 3rd person that Claude added. It was a PR of several thousand lines, all AI generated and he had no idea how it worked, but said it’s ok, Claude understands it. He didn’t even tell anyone he was going to be working on it so there was no discussion of the architecture beforehand.

Edit: Ocaml. So I was right that it was something MLy lol

Idk, I was like 14 or 15 when I read it, I was probably hornier than Mario Puzo lol

Yeah if wars were somehow abolished for good, a LOT of people working in arms manufacturing would be pissed.

Read the comment lol, I said I wouldn’t be paying for this shit, just that you shouldn’t feel bad for supporting small devs. Some here seem to think paying for anything at all is immoral.

I searched up a video to replace a part on my car. I did find it, but I also found 15 videos that were AI generated product reviews of the part.

I definitely also want my car parts to be “sleek and stylish” when hidden away under a plastic cover under the hood lmao

Money also helps game developers buy food. I’m very well fed already.

I still don’t buy a lot of games though. Just stuff I really like, especially from smaller studios. I will not be paying 40 dollarbucks to play ancient games.

Yeah it’s been a long time since I read it but I remember the giant pussy storyline. Seems weird now that you point it out.

There’s a couple packages I use where Flatpak is actually the recommended version. Otherwise I nearly always use the distro package manager.
