There is hope for the Thinkpads, as the 5th Gen T14 is apparently bringing back a lot of the reparability of the older models (namely, by returning replaceable RAM). I wouldn’t know, as I have a Gen 4 (not ideal, but just perfect considering how cheap I got it and how powerful it is).

Damn, the American Empire makes me glad my parents chose to move to the UK instead. Not saying our politicians are perfect, but they certainly aren’t as blatantly corrupt

I found Linux because I was broke so the only laptop I could afford was a Windows 10 machine with 4GB RAM, so I looked into Linux Mint to squeeze out a more decent performance.

I’d love to use Pixelfed but as a user that looks at stuff instead of posting.

But there is no good option for a server. I’d want something nearby because speed, but my only options are (UK): A Scottish instance that will delete any accounts which haven’t posted in more than 30 days, a furry instance in the UK, and an adult instance in the Netherlands.

So I’ll pass until there’s a good instance.

I get where you’re coming from but I wish apps on GNOME could look uniform even without everyone kneeling to libadwaita, and we could just get uniform theming on all DEs.

GNOME.

Specifically their decisions on CSD over SSD (client and server side decorations)

I haven’t really had any other dogmatic issues with projects.

Doesn’t happen to me

Thank you for helping me find a new podcast to listen to

I really think AI development should move to creating small and single-purpose models that can easily be trained with public domain data of your choice, so they can be ran locally and spend far less energy than models like Gippity.

Clearly they can’t be trusted with the quality assurance of their training data.

Can confirm. I’m basically running the same setup except I’m using a managed Nextcloud instance cuz I currently can’t self host.

For people like me who were faced with the paywall after reading one too many Reuters articles.

If anyone can share what caused the downvotes, I’d be very happy if you could let me know. Thanks.

CTT claims that Bluesky is great, but I’m just not into that type of social media so while I’m on Mastodon, I don’t actually use it.

Right, so that was his plan all along?

Keep on promising a full self driving experience, which even now won’t really happen,

and then promising an affordable Tesla,

which he can then backtrack on?

Overpromise and underdeliver.

That’s the Musk motto.

Can’t wait to see him fail to bring humanity to Mars, and end up trying to credit himself when NASA do it.

I find vertical tabs to be more useful specifically when I have more tabs. Currently using vertical tabs on Vivaldi and I can see 28 and a half tabs without scrolling, which is pretty alright if you’re asking me. And Workspaces are quite helpful for the same reason.

For anyone curious, I currently have 2 workspaces at 8 tabs, 1 at 20, 1 at 25 and one at 82, which comes up to 143 tabs , plus 1 more tab in the default Workspace Vivaldi creates, coming up to 144 tabs.

They’ll do it in 3-4 years, claiming it’s revolutionary, while they’re just catching up to the competition.

By “Developer of the Newpipe app”

Hmm…

Unverified

It’s a “No” from me. I’ll stick to Freetube.

For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.

Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.
