- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 2 weeks ago:
I was not aware of that stuff you linked, appreciate the sources and education. I read through them and damn… 😩 there’s always some wacko ruining shit for the rest of us.
I agree that DHH guy sounds like a bigoted nut, but the thing about the Hyprland community being toxic doesn’t sound any different to just about any other linux community. There’s always some douche wanting to sound superior to others on the forums and usually a lot of them.
Elitest mentality kills just about any community enjoyment for a broad spectrum of intrests. So to me that’s just background noise, the DHH thing though… you have a valid concern.
I don’t think there is any truly clean competition sadly we seem to live in a world of the lesser evils instead of the lesser goods. I’ll keep my eyes out and see if any better options come up, or if you have any recommends on companies to keep in mind.

Exactly, but it still won’t get them my money. I believe in rewarding companies who had the balls to listen to their customers first with my dollars. Framework will be my next laptop no matter what any other competitor comes out with.
They’re the only reason we’re seeing any companies starting to u-turn and make modular/repairable laptops.

They make a variety of excellent table top cooking appliances. My wife is Japanese and recommended me this rice cooker when we started dating. That same rice cooker is still going strong I purchased it in 2006.
I recently was curious about them and did a search to see if there was any newer model or upgrades… still the exact same model and almost the same price is considered one of the best models by multipel reviewers.
That thing is seriously built to last! My wife and I have now named the cooker “Zojirushi sama” as a reward for still making amazing rice 20 years later even after almost daily use.
We also have one of their auto nabe cookers which is going on 15 years old.

If it’s up to proper code then removing the battery won’t help as the detector is supossed to be hooked up to the main power, the chip is to remind you to change the battery so that it still works in the event of a power outage.

Yep I absolutely refuse to put any banking apps on my phone. The only thing that has access to my bank is me physically going there or logging into their website via my own computer. Fuck any app that asks for access to my bank account including autopay services thorugh third parties.
The only third party serive I use for payments is paypal and that only goes to my credit card.

That’s literally what happened in the reboot that came out a few years ago…
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 10 months ago:
My mistake, I only saw the option to buy on playstore. Also missed the open source on the dev page. Thanks for the heads up!

- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 1 year ago:
Agreed, I’ve never come across a site that was broken because of Firefox. Usually the culprit is adblock being too good at blocking, so just toggle it off and refresh and page loads just fine.
