I moved jobs to secure a full remote position. The pandemic just highlighted what was important for me in life, and gave me less patience to put up with other aspects I would have tolerated earlier.

Ahh,I see you're a person of culture. Solus Budgie as OS is a good choice.

13-14". My favourite laptop design of all time has been my macbook pro 2011. I never feel like it needs to be bigger, the keyboard feels natural and typing is easy, and it is portable. I will be getting a Framework laptop soon, which h

Buying one as soon as preorders are available in Australia.

Solus Linux is rolling release. No worries for me.

I quit my job over it. There were some other considerations, but that was a bit part of my decision.

Updates are few and very far between.

No, you can upgrade the entire main board (with CPU) in future. And the "old" main board can function as a standalone PC outside the chassis.

Once it is available for pre order in Australia, I am buying one.

Australia doesn't have an independent foreign policy. This deal just shows who is in who's pocket. Australia has no choice because it can't defend itself. It has no military capability to defend against any enemy. It means we

I really do not want MS office anywhere near my Linux machine. I wish that Microsoft's products fully supported open document formats and standards.

Just do it already, MS. Replace Windows/NT kernel with Linux, and make Windows another Linux distro. Seems like you're kinda heading that way.

Much love to Daniel and GrapheOS contributors. Just buy a Pixel and install yourself, cut the middleman.

I run a windows VM in my Linux host for work every single day. When I leave that org, I just delete the VM and its files.

I stopped writing to my federal member Jim Chalmers about the shitty legislation. I never get a response, I doubt his office even reads them.

Not everyone can afford to live where all the jobs are. Not all of us are on inflated SV wages. Some of us put up with 2-3h commute round trip time a day for many years cause it was the only way. Now with remote, that commute is not necessa

I tried the same in OpenSUSE, I was horrified.

GrapheneOS is my daily driver and immensely happy with it. Never been more satisfied with a mobile experience. On a Pixel 4a

They make the premise so innocuous that it would seem unreasonable to object, eg who would object to keeping kids safe? However it's what comes after this, the slippery slope of what to enforce and not. The genie doesn't go back i

My country (Australia) has botched their rollout. I wanted to get vaccinated, registered my "interest" to get vaccinated months ago, then waited for the invitation to book an appointment, booked my first, then second appointment.

That includes me. Hard to be a huge advocate for Firefox when they continually don't deliver. Brave is my browser for the time being.

Me too. I am voting with my feet and taking my labour somewhere else.

So a matter of "don't trust them, but trust us"? I love DDG but this move seems a little creepy.

Yep, "dir /s /b | findstr x" is way quicker than searching for files in explorer.

Solus is my distro. After using Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu, Solus has been stable and reliable for many years. My daily driver on desktop and laptop.

These are emergency powers assumed under a pandemic, settle down now.

Yeah nah. I will criticise the government and their laws, be skeptical, be very vocal about my privacy rights etc. But when it comes to covid, the restrictions make sense, and I agree with the goal for which they are deployed to meet, which

I come from a testing QA background, and I will steal this quote, it is marvelous: "That's the problem with software; there is one happy path and an infinite number of unhappy ones."
