I've yet to lose a game by just buying literally everything I land on, mortgaging things if I need the money to do so

Did this to my ex once, bought up all the houses and refused to upgrade to hotels, thought I was crazy

Ended up winning because she couldn't progress

But at least if you use Linux you'll prevent the death of some poor Microsoft employee someday when you inevitably want to throttle one of them

I unfortunately learned the vegan community here is largely hexbears, made the fatal mistake of commenting on a post there (as a vegetarian)

Ah that's useful to know, I've been using gamescope for that but it's a bit overkill

I use nixos for dev all the time, personally I think it's great

What I would suggest however is to install the nix package manager on another distro, learn how it works that way and then switch when you're comfortable only using nix

Flakes are absolutely incredible for development and I think every project beyond scrappy scripts should use them.

You can specify all your dependencies (compiler, libraries, cli tools, environment variables etc) in your nix flake, then run nix develop and it'll make you an isolated shell with all that stuff

(For example, I don't have go, rust or dotnet installed but when I cd into one of my projects directors it installs them to a temporary shell and catches them until I clean up)

The flake also generates a lock file which specifies every version of every dependency with a git rev and a hash, meaning if you check flake and lock into git, anyone else who clones that project and uses the flake gets the exact same system you were using

I physically struggle to eat that much, I need to eat more to bulk but can never manage

Is this on Linux or Windows?

Ooooh very promising

What've you got it throttled to?

I need to try working for a larger place have only worked for small ones so far

From what I hear it's really nice actually having people who can help when you're struggling lol

Don't, you'll only make them worse

If you intentionally stir the pot and piss them off they'll inevitably just go take it out on someone else and further reinforce their beliefs

Vaguely aware that's a thing you can do, but I have no reason to use it as I don't really watch anything on regular TV anyway

Interesting, is the CPU upgradeable on the framework? Could be nice to replace that later down the line when those come out

What's the brightness like and in what country if you don't mind me asking?

Tend to have my current laptop on full brightness all the time otherwise I can't see anything, and I live in a generally pretty dark country

I imagine the broken packages thing are less about the framework itself, he's probably using discord or other electron stuff right?

I've found when an electron package gets marked as insecure it takes everyone a while to update to the secure one

The clicking sleep thing is interesting one but at the moment I'm doing something very similar anyway

Not planning to give up on the trusty ThinkPad soon anyway

So far the evidence I've seen has been overwhelmingly that arm chips are way more power efficient

People say it makes no difference but I've yet to see an x86 device come close to the arm ones battery wise, seems like a strange coincidence

Ahh I see ok makes more sense

Already got thousands of lines of nix config so not about to hop distro lol

I usually use gamescope for that purpose but it's still a bit of a pain and takes me out of the tmux/helix loop

Ooh battery upgrades are a good sign, what kinda battery life do you get now with an unupgraded one?

Hmmm 3 hours battery is definitely a major downside, given it charges off usb c less of an issue but still

Was actually considering getting one of those copilot pcs once the Linux support catches up, supposedly people are charging those things once a week or so
