Price point is fine for a “new” laptop.

Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.

Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd

I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

Damn that’s a pretty good explanation actually

My papa

Builds and collects model planes

organizes fishing lures based on effectiveness, has extensive notes on how to catch fish

will leave the room if it gets too loud

frustrated easily in social situations

finds Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang theory so relatable

texture issues and will only eat from 4 restaurants only burgers or fried fish

“What the hell is autism? Sounds like being a brat!”

I thought you said it was “frustrating” seeing some with nuance get upvoted and I appreciated the sarcasm on that and the sincerity in this one

I wanna believe that Ivermectine is so consistently reported by these people as helpful because they all have parasites from raw meat diets. So when they get sick with covid the wormer does make them feel better, but not because of the covid.

Sorry I can’t finish this meme. I got to the second one and I was two tired.

Your username is almost relevant though

From the inside he looks like a republican.

But that’s how its been for a while. This years Dem is last decades Rep.

I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

It’s the problem with a neutral pics platform.

It’s easily assumed you like this and that it is good since you’ve posted a flattering picture of a fascist.

I love that they were contemporaries and yet only ghandi is in color

FreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360

I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.

The potion, BTW, was mild narcotics.

The medical system has us so whipped.

I just reached out to a therapist office. Referrals? Insane if you actually needed to do that.

I’m more willing to bet this is VPN servers running linux

I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That’s all I need.

All proper names are just old/dead/foreign language for the thing.

Gods, I’m considering Job hopping and I saw Lockheed was hiring for my role, less experience, less certs, full remote, and quadruple my pay.

I had to block them on indeed and LinkedIn. I hated that I was considering it.

One of the guys I went to college with is an amazing programmer and had such a great understanding of C that hes why i got as far into CS as i did, couldn’t get a job after grad because 1) Covid and more importantly 2) he’s insufferable.

He got a job making $100k a year for I wanna say Lockheed because he quote “Wrote good looking code”. That’s all they needed because Tue DoD already told them that the project he was hired for was not going to be adopted, but they were still contracted for minimum 2 more years of development and Lockheed would be in breach of contract if they weren’t making progress even though it was already Dead.

The Military industrial complex is JUST a grift to put tax dollars in private hands.
