One of first things I do when I set up a new iThing is to delete the calculator app and install a third-party calculator.

Yeah, no. I'm not only using containers to deploy my VPSes. Thank you for trying. P.S. at least use something declarative and provider-agnostic like terraform.

You have no idea ;D I’m real fun at parties

Yeah I knew what you meant. I have one :)

GP didn’t claim that’s not the reason. They’re making a joke that if the camera kept recording past 30min, it would overheat. It’s a joke.

Were you born to annoy people? I don’t call and it’s not for the reason you suggest, but because I won’t talk to an automaton once then endure multiple calls and emails trying to sell me their offering. I’ve been down that road enough times

Show me the high price on a web page so I can go "that's too much for this stingy old grump" rather than making me talk to one of your sales minions.

How is it belittling when I told you I'm that way too. What I'll actually cut out is responding. Good luck with your bugs.

Distro matters a lot for kernel regressions. I run arch and so I bump into those once in a blue moon but it's rare. Debian runs older versions so you miss recent bug fixes but at the same time you should see minimal regressions. Pick y

First, what distro are you on? Second, have you tried windows or macOS recently?

C will always live. I’m not onboard with significant changes to C but the language will always be around at the interface between hardware and software and probably as the lingua franca for FFI.

I hope we can also guide lucid dreams to a degree where we can introduce in-dream advertising.

They are free to license that glue however they please, within the legal limits.

They put in the effort to create the product. It's their choice how to license it. Now it's up to you whether to sign that CLA to upstream your changes. You're welcome to maintain a fully AGPL fork if you don't like that

It would be a misfortune indeed if I had nothing to complain about.

Two paragraphs in: "Perhaps, like most people, you need a smartphone to fully engage with society (like with QR menus, the bane of the dumbphone life!)."

We should be commending the honesty!

This claim is often repeated, but what I buy from H&M lasts years and years.

It's not. RSUs are taxed in the state in which they're granted, at least at my company. Not where they vest.

Because they're cherished memories for one.

I've considered that and might end up taking that route but the nice thing about a MacBook is I can take it with me on trips and learn iOS when I get bored. There's a big server rack at home with multiple servers, so the Linux ser

And, of course, it starts at 8GB of RAM to nudge you up from $1100 to $1300/$1500. At which point you might as well spring for the Pro. I can't fault the business logic but as someone who'd only use a Mac for occasional iOS d

My experience is similar as far as big machines go. I have been thinkpads that are easy to work with. That said, the new stuff is definitely built cheaper than what you could buy in prior years, and the small "ultrabooks" are anno

I have opened basically every laptop I own(ed) to replace memory/SSD and sometimes other components. The easiest to work with besides framework are my beefy thinkpads. The sleek ones are a PITA. My framework is both portable and the ab

By all means buy the Asus. Personally I'm done with the HP/Lenovo/Dell/Asus/Acer/<insert what I missed> offerings. They make junk that breaks, is impossible to fix and they bundle more and more malware ev

Yeah but it's nowhere near the choice you get with a typical x86_64 laptop with an AMD/Intel chipset. I have minor problems with my Lenovos and Framework, but by and large they do work out of the box.

Too bad Apple's hardware doesn't play nice with Linux.

I don't know how to communicate more clearly that there is a contradiction in their claims on the same page.

by the-grump 3y ago
That is clearer and more believable. I'm going by the language on the page I shared. (Yes I'm aware your quote is from the same page). "All the electronics of the Liberty Phone is made in our USA facility" tells me that
