  • I bought a mid-2012 Macbook specifically for Linux (I wrecked all my prior plastic laptops and wanted something robust, durable, and maintainable).

    After watching Rossmann for a few years, it was the obvious choice - with replaceable RAM, HDD, USB3, Thunderbolt, WiFi AC, and the disk caddy can be replaced to hold an additional storage drive. Not to mention the vast library of his videos instructing you on how to fix various issues if need be. Other models either had problems with screen delamination, weren't upgradeable enough, or had battery swelling problems etc.

    Not a fan of apple personally, but I have to admit the 2012 design really holds up well.

    Then a while after, the Framework came out 😭😭

  • I used to use all sorts of custom fonts several years ago, but now I just use the system fonts instead.

    Allows the site to render almost immediately without text blinking (on first load) and makes users feel as if it fits in with their OS design language

     
        
    font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Inter", "Cantarell", "Ubuntu", "Oxygen", "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Roboto", system-ui, Arial, sans-serif;
    
      

    Might be helpful to ask on some of the programming comms though:

  • Personally, I see nothing wrong with what you've said. Them perma-banning you for "misinformation" instead of actually engaging in a discussion with you about it says all I need to know about that kind of community IMO, and it's not one I'd want to be a part of... regardless of how amazing and secure their OS is.

    The unfortunate thing is, I think it's hard to maintain projects like GrapheneOS without people like that on the team - the community's principled nature is kind of reflected in how watertight and robust the OS is

  • Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.

    For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)

    It's simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it's unfortunate some of the supported features aren't accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface

  • The original ssd was rammed full, only about 20GB free. Writing files was super fast - it was mainly reading files that the SSD struggled to do at a palatable speed, often locking up my pc for a few seconds

    With the new SSD i've just left the remaining space unallocated, so it's firmware can freely use that space for whatever it needs to 😁

  • Company ran a trial for it, and it worked really well for generating boilerplate code following our existing system design. Sometimes it makes mistakes, but during the trial it was a rare occurence

    The company is giving it to us all for free next year, hope it doesn't negatively affect hiring though...

  • I disagree. Aside from privately owned Brightline who already owns the land around their stations, owns their tracks, and has a lot of incentive to expand their coverage, I have not heard of a single other piece of privatized infrastructure that actually benefits the users or actively engages in expansion
