Just got myself an X13, love the screen ratio and the keyboard is almost as good as my old T42 which finally died. Not thrilled about everything being soldered on but every TP I have owned has outlived its own usefulness so I am not too con

I have been starting to use Proton, no real complaints about it so far but have yet to leave gmail. Fairly sick of various aspects of gmail/google and am ready to move on.

I guess what got me started was bash, the bash man page, and limited options. I had no internet, my wifi card died right after reinstalling the system (money was too tight at that time for a new card) so I had no way to install anything bey

For me the most productive method has been to have a project, pick a language, get a introductory book for that language and dig in. Start working through the book and doing the exercises and immediately apply what I learn to that project.

Semley seems to have a decent grasp on Gravity's Rainbow but is more interested in making weak parallels between it and reality than in exploring the relevance of Gravity's Rainbow to the modern day. Interesting read but by his re
