What laptop do you use/recommend?

Jump

  • Framework laptops are undeniably expensive. I say that as a happy owner of both the 13 and the 16. The value is not the appeal. To be honest, I don't even expect it to "pay for itself due to upgradability and repairability" like many people say.

    More availability of refurbished mainboards should help over time, I guess.

    • What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?

    Jump

  • It's as if I'm being gaslit into thinking I don't know what the word means!

    • I realised this today

    Jump

  • I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.

    • Mastodon forms new U.S. non-profit

    Jump

  • It is.

    The people in charge of maintaining Mastodon in particular though need to establish some kind of legal entity and that needs legal recognition somewhere.

    • 'Marketing's dead, and I can back this s**t up': Larian's publishing director says players 'just want to be spoken to, and they don't want to be bamboozled'

    Jump

  • As long as there are people who want to make games there will be indy game development going on.

    • Chinese battery developer unveils new tech with 1,300-mile range that could revolutionize EVs: 'An important piece of the puzzle'

    Jump

  • China makes those, too.

    • Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

    Jump

  • A dongle is a solution to the problem "I want to use my headphones with a device with only a USB-C port."

    • Tesla’s in its flop era

    Jump

  • I really like my Bolt, it perfectly suits my needs and I love driving it. I think the biggest compromise that makes it unattractive for long distance travel is the relatively slow charging speed. I very rarely do that, however, and if I did I might rent a different vehicle.

    • Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive is laying off 5% of its workforce and 'rationalizing its pipeline,' the latest skin-crawling corporate euphemism for people losing their jobs

    Jump

  • People always say this, but the execs and board members making obscene money for doing as little a possible is the whole point of the endeavor.

    • Tesla Owner Calls Police on Rivian Driver Using Supercharger

    Jump

  • I think the sign in the photo still makes sense if you interpret it as "Don't park here unless you're using the Tesla charging station."

    • Anyone know any other games similar to the Oracle ones? Already have a few (Anodyne, Lenna's Inception), looking for more.

    Jump

  • Tunic, maybe?

    • Tell Borts I said "Hi"

    Jump

  • My guess is that there was some guidance in the prompt for the names since a lot of them are similar.

    • Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers

    Jump

  • It's very common for forums to have rules against posting in a thread that hasn't seen any activity for an arbitrary amount of time. When you do that, you will often cause a thread that has fallen from the front page to bump back to the top of the front page. It's not clear why this is a problem, though. Maybe regulars just dislike seeing old topics brought back up?

    • Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well

    Jump

  • /s is for cowards! I will never!

    Jump

  • I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn't be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc

    • Conan just did Hot Ones

    Jump

  • What? No, he isn't. These interviews always suck.

    EDIT: It's so funny that 19 people got angry at this. Hey, try working on language! Try watching Peppa Pig or something! You'll develop into a functional adult soon I'm sure. GET A LIFE!!!! 😠😠😠😠😠

    • Conan just did Hot Ones

    Jump

  • It's bad. Pointing this out embarasses people who enjoy it though. (People who can probably barely read.)

    • Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets

    Jump

  • Name just fifty (50).

    • Nintendo submit Yuzu DMCA request to Internet Archive

    Jump

  • Don't worry about it, the angry edit was meant to be humorous- in general I agree that it's a mistake to let downvotes upset you.

    (And because I'm the admin of my own instance, the votes are made visible through the UI. So if I wanted to be a vindictive weirdo about it, I could... 😉)

  • I'm a good enough software engineer that this isn't true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎
