It feels weird living in a timeline where a major ecological shift for the better was spearheaded in part by such an awful excuse of a human being.

I feel like this is some attempt at damage control, considering the sudden influx of Tesla trashing as of late.
My problem with Assault was that I went in wanting to play on-rail shooting like in 64… and it had that.
But it was in a minority, and the all-range mode levels were optimized for on foot or land master, so the Arwing segments were often either underwhelming or you were being herded to play the terrestrial based gameplay.
The game was certainly good, and was by far the best written Star Fox game at the time (IMO), but it didn’t quite scratch the itch I was desperately hoping it would.
But you are absolutely right that it doesn’t deserve the hate it got, and it would probably be an amazing first Star Fox game for someone new to the franchise.
Contrasting what Shaxs said about his experience at the black mountain… I feel like the Koala intervened in this episode. (And possibly as well in the S2 finale)
Considering how LD loosely follows the plots from the original movies… I guess that just begs the question: What does a Koala need with a space ship?

What I meant with whistleblowing in terms of the fediverse is:
Whistleblower posts to instance A, and it gets mirrored on instance B.
Someone like Musk erases the post on instance A.
As the Fediverse currently works, the whistleblowing still exists on instance B, and cannot be deleted by an admin on instance A.
Asking a Musk to divulge who did the silencing is an exercise in futility.
That said, I’m totally on board with better tools to handle spam.
The Mac’s biggest defense has long been that it plays second fiddle to Windows.
But with iOS, arguably, being top banana, and Mac now running iPhone software in a Mac costume, I expect a lot more in-the-crossfire vulnerabilities.
As a former admin, I guarantee no one seriously reads those logs outside of happenstance. It takes the users speaking up to warrant that.
It’s a major hole with regards to spam, but in a hypothetical whistleblower scenario it makes it hard for a single entity to silence and remove all evidence.
There are simply trade offs, but it doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement.
I want to preface by saying I absolutely agree with everything you've said. My personal commute is like ~20 miles round trip, which is more than capable of being covered by a level 1 charger. But I wasn't aware of that 5-20 bit of trivia. I'm going to have to look into that for myself. (Thanks!)
Though, there are two things I'd like to add: Under the normal commute situation, there are scenarios I can think of where a level 2 charger might still be a good investment.
If your battery capacity is good, in practice, you would hardly notice when you have a day or two of heavy driving. Sure it may take an extra day or so to reach full or so, but it won't impact your ability to get things done when things soon revert to normal.
On the other hand, if your battery is something that probably belongs more in a hybrid than it does in an EV, then said car will probably be less forgiving of back-to-back heavy usage. (I was originally looking at a Nisan Leaf since there were good deals for them used, but then I saw that the non-"+" trims had garbage capacity. And then I understood why they were so common as used.)
The other scenario is your power company. They may provide incentives for restricting your charging to certain hours by using an approved Level 2 charger, which when combined with the federal incentive, drastically cuts down the time it takes to break even and then come out ahead.
Who even benefits from this? Even Toyota is on the EV train.
