if hardware accel on browsers is so simple, why don’t you write it yourself?

two that get almost daily use from me:

osmand - maps
antennapod - podcasts

The older I get, the more things seem to be just new examples of things I’ve seen already. But that’s not to say that those things aren’t worth creating. How many times has the word “the” been used? Doesn’t mean we should stop saying it. Works of art are a form of communication too, and reflect the times and contexts in which they are created.

The whole world getting enthusiastic about moving away from oil and gas energy.

americans can design garbage, so can chinese. or the opposite.

dell is manufactured globally, in china and in other places. probably lenovo too.

I think the thinkpad T14 series is pretty mainstream for linux - except for the Gen6 snapdragon one. Arch wiki thinks the gen5 will work

I had a top of the line Dell (precision 5520) that I bought with Ubuntu on it, so it ran linux very well. But there were quality issues, mainly the battery swelling up and making the keyboard stop working. Then the screws for the case fell out and the hinge kind of broke, and the power connector stopped working, as did its replacement. I think you aren’t really supposed to work on the dells yourself as it had special screws, not plain philips heads.

Maintainability on thinkpads is better, in general. And I like the way the computer feels more - just better design.

The Sergio Leone trilogy with Clint Eastwood arguably gets better. The first one was almost a shot-for-shot remake of Yojimbo - good but derivative. The third movie stood up well against the early ones and the music was maybe the best.

college textbooks. have to have the latest edition for class, but almost nothing is different from the two-years-old one.

ha, its all how is the team performing and who can be fired or something. when I look at a repo its more what is this thing.

no true gambling huh?

1. the saps losing money to the insiders are genuinely gambling
2. polymarket is a gambling institution.
3. without polymarket, you can’t have this insider/sap exploitation dynamic

fucking polymarket chuds running foreign policy is a problem
