Sorry. Your Car Will Never Drive You Around.
This is wonderful analysis from a year ago, but be warned he uses some foul language you could argue is appropriate. Early in the video he does a nice job of exposing Elon Musk’s promises that never panned out, so…
KDE Plasma’s Wayland Transition “Nears Completion” In Ending Out 2025
