maybe search for system76 too. I found one on my local craigslist.

loving my recently acquired T480. not the fastest by any means, but solid and great keyboard. plus non-soldered memory allows for upgrades. got mine off craigslist for 120, a steal.

Trump is no less culpable because he lacks the creativity to come up with a hideous extermination policy on his own.

Lately I've been watching videos from twoodfrd on youtube. Guitar luthiery. Gets me napping like no other. Found another that seems promising "Machinery Restorer". Turn on subtitles if you need to be quiet.

Hey I'm sure he's better than genghis khan too. But the notion of an NPP when he spouts this fascist ethnic cleansing horseshit makes me want to fucking vomit. "Poor record", yeah and Ted Bundy had a bad dating history.

"resolve the genocide in Palestine". Are you talking about his plan to mass deport Palestinians and build resorts on their land? Kind of like answering the "Jewish Question" was for the Nazis.

I've been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.

when someone tailgates me, I slow down.

documentary is "The Pulitzer Prizes: a Legacy of Excellence"

yeah read that Caddyshack was made in florida instead of california because they didn't want the studios breathing down their necks.

that's pretty much a whole manga subgenre now

plateaued since when? if you look at the second half of the graph, 2022 forward, it looks more steep to me.

I take it 'geometric mean' is the geometric mean of 'statcounter' and 'steam'? What's the specific source of those latter two measures? For instance, when I look at linux usage on the statcounter website I get more like 1.5%, not 4%.

yeah I've gotten android to work but its been a journey. still feels a little underdocumented and bleeding edge, but then again got it working finally. look to the examples and not the docs IMO

If you only will use what's in the standard tauri js api, or in the standard plugins, then technically you don't need rust. But yeah I think if you wrote a bunch of apps in it you'd inevitably want to make your own plugins or backend code, and then you'd need rust.

Depends. I made one in tauri and it was a good fit because I already had a web frontend and rust backend. I was able to reuse both of those with minor changes, now the same code builds the app and the web server/frontend.

I'd probably go native if:

• you're only developing for android and don't care about desktop/ios/etc..
• UI performance is really important, like for a game
• You want to minimize app size
• You aren't skilled at web front end development

With tauri, if you need phone apis that aren't in the toolkit already you're going to jump through some hoops going from javascript to rust to kotlin and back again. Its a significant barrier, you're handling serialization/deserialization of function arguments/results in 3 different languages.

they only offer the one laptop, a T480. Not an HP, Dell, etc. Ongoing fixes to the UEFI and BIOS code are irrelevant as this has libreboot instead. That's like saying you're missing out on windows updates if you run linux.

And anyway the T480 is at end of life:

This product is no longer being actively supported by development (End of Development Support) and no further software updates will be provided.

I've had good luck with an X201, W520, and T480 - all thinkpads. Haven't tried any of the lower end lenovo models. I got my W520 new and my other ones off craigslist.

If you're looking to get a preinstalled OS and from a refurb vendor, an interesting option would be buying from libreboot. Debian/KDE by default or you can choose your own distro. Libreboot is a good cause, and sales funds the project. You'll have the most secure bios on the block.

love mine I got on craigs for cheap. works great and upgraded to 32G with memory from my old dead laptop.

there are groups on mastodon?

Love it. No connection to the internet except when you choose to, through your phone. Analog controls. Frickin roll up windows!

My only beef with the current concept is the bolt on body panels and other parts. Too easy to steal. Could replace those bolts with security bolts, if they aren't already, but that just discourages the casuals.
