My top pick for a Linux laptop would be the Dell XPS 13 9310. It’s old I guess, from 2020. But the build quality and Linux support is excellent. You could get a used one from eBay for around 400USD.

Alternatively, maybe you could look for a used Thinkpad X1 Carbon. I’ve purchased several of those in the past and have had really good experiences with them. The hardware is great and the software support is excellent.

I would avoid Framework. I actually just switched back to the Dell XPS 13 9310 after a year of using the Framework. Linux support on the Framework is just not as good as some other laptops. The biggest con of Framework is the HiDPI display. You will never get the display to look good. You’ll have to do a ton of tweaking and debugging—and you’ll still have some apps that are blurry or have weirdly sized icons or text. See: https://lemmy.today/post/22761155/13770242

My wife heavily uses her smartphone. Like, she’ll work on spreadsheets on her phone instead of grabbing her laptop.

I’m the opposite. I try to use my phone as little as possible.

I mean, the R1 was $200, came with a year of Perplexity, and didn’t require a subscription.

The Pin started at $500 and required a subscription, along with a new phone number.

Not that surprised.

I hate constantly needing to charge headphones and dealing with bluetooth connection issues. Way more annoying lol

My wired headphones.

Oh yeah?! Well… … … no, actually you’re right. Thanks! Must fffffooooccccuuusssss… 😬

Oooh, interesting. Thanks!

I walk through my day and most people’s demeanor hasn’t changed in the slightest

I’m unhappy and angry at the situation. But, am I supposed to mope around all day or have depressing conversations with everyone I meet? Should I start fighting every Trump supporter in my small town?

Yeah, they were definitely down again: https://lemmy.today/post/23792488

And they definitely got spammed again.

Lol! Not sure what message you got, but if it’s anything like mine, let’s test this.

Post the message you got in your company’s general Slack channel.

If you get fired, it’s a hate message. Else, it’s spam.

Not for Lidarr, but I’ve had good luck finding music I like Soulseek.

Grammy has been giving farmers baths

What’s a farmer bath?

Because … well … wait, not a bad idea. Although, this would get rid of comments. Which in my case, I didn’t have too many, so I could have manually added them back.

💥💥💥

if I choose to store them online/cloud encrypted / (edit: encrypt first then upload it) … there’s always the potential for a very near future breaches or compromises

Does this matter? Say you upload your encrypted photo backup to Mega Upload (or whatever) and some unauthorized person gets a copy of your encrypted data. So? It’s encrypted? They can’t read or see the data?

Are you worried about state actors breaking the encryption?

Enjoying this again: Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us

Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile

OH SHIT! That’s right! I forgot! Kendrick was doing the half time show! 😂

Thank you for posting this! I gotta watch the half time show now!

They can read what the AI suggests and see if it is correct or not.

What’s this process look like? Or are there any rails that prevent the new employee from blinding trusting what the AI is suggesting?

Yeah, I’ve definitely grown to like TOML, especially after spending hours trying to edit a giant (nested) YAML file…

I didn’t realize the indentation in TOML was purely aesthetic.

This

[servers]
  [servers.alpha]
  ip = "10.0.0.1"
  dc = "eqdc10"

  [servers.beta]
  ip = "10.0.0.2"
  dc = "eqdc10"

equals this

[servers]
[servers.alpha]
ip = "10.0.0.1"
dc = "eqdc10"

[servers.beta]
ip = "10.0.0.2"
dc = "eqdc10"

which equals this

{
  "servers": {
    "alpha": {
      "ip": "10.0.0.1",
      "dc": "eqdc10"
    },
    "beta": {
      "ip": "10.0.0.2",
      "dc": "eqdc10"
    }
  }
}
