OK. I know I’m about to get blown the fuck up but… You will own nothing and be happy. But. Like. Unironically.

I really don’t think most people want to manage thousands of music files on their computer. Or hundreds of movie files. Or thousands of picture files. Or hundreds of video game files.

There are definitely options for doing this, but people who go this route are usually tech elite nerds. Not your parents or grandparents. Not normies.

(I self-host Navidrome, Jellyfin, Immich, etc.)

You know, I tried telling them this at Hertz, but they still called the cops on me! WTF! I gave them money, they gave me car. What’s the problem officer?!?!?

They maybe use Plaid to connect your bank? I still wouldn’t do it though. Fuck Plaid. Fuck handing out creds. Find another way.

Cy: People buying million dollar homes think they’re getting the A-Team. They’re not. It’s the same builders that build the cheap homes.

Explain how!

It’s all right otherwise. Not phenomenal, but not crap. The specs you can get with other laptops. The hardware feel isn’t as good as a Dell XPS or an X1 Carbon. The expansion card stuff is kinda cool, but other laptops have ports too. I’ve never swapped out the cards.

The main reason I bought this laptop is repairability. If that’s not your main priority, then I probably wouldn’t recommend this laptop.

If you want to use this laptop with Linux and not spend time fixing hardware compatibility issues, then I definitely would not recommend this laptop. Definitely get a Dell XPS for a Linux laptop that Just Works.

Agreed! Not saying it’s not a software issue. Of course the software is broken. Of course I wish it was updated.

But, Framework seeing the landscape and picking hardware with known issues is a bad choice. They could offer lower DPI and eliminate entire pages of workarounds and half fixes.

Yes, high DPI should work, but it doesn’t everywhere. That’s just the reality, I wish it wasn’t.

Blurry and tiny apps come from Framework’s poor choice of display. Other laptops don’t have this problem.

Yes, I’m aware of software-side issues, but it’s still their fault for seeing the software issues and then picking a broken display anyway.

HiDPI has to be supported by all toolkits, desktops, and applications at this point. There are no excuses.

I mean… yeah, I agree. Would you mind sending that email to the millions of devs around the world? Not sure if they’re aware of this.

I just want to be able to read my screen. 😭

If it meant I could actually see my apps because they’re not blurry and not tiny. Then hell yeah! Luckily, it’s not a choice between all the DPI and none of the DPI.

• Dell XPS 13 - 1920X1200
• Lemur Pro - 1920x1200
• Thinkpad X11 - 1920 x 1200

It’s possible.

I like the infinite battery life wired headphones have.

I totally binged Alan Wake 1 in like 2 days. Then spent a while enveloped by Alan Wake 2! Part 2 really got the AAA treatment. It was funny, spooky, actiony. Lots of stuff to explore, the characters play differently.

I also didn’t realize Control was part of the story, so now I gotta go play that!

What’s a webradio? https://www.funkwhale.audio/ seems like a music app? Hmm… Seems interesting.

I found a related thread to this on Hacker News. It was interesting to read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19365968

I was wondering the same thing. It seems more proper to run a separate government Mastodon server. Otherwise, they’re showing preferential treatment to one company.

Although… they probably can’t handle self hosting? But really? The all mighty US can’t self host a server?

Waymo and Cruise definitely have humans waiting to take over if the autonomous mode gets stuck… so that’s already true!

For Discord like communities, I’d also suggest using Element as the Matrix client. It’s pretty similar to Discord. Also, you’ll need support for “spaces”, which are like Discord servers. Rooms = channels

The point of calling something is fad is a way to tell you that you shouldn’t invest a lot of time into this because that knowledge will become obsolete soon.

I mean this is particularly relevant in the JS world because every week there’s a new revolutionary framework that renders the previous framework obsolete. (Although, not sure if that’s slowing down now…)
