Which is one of the reasons I’d still buy one.

No, I’m not a bot? What do you mean?

I couldn’t get one myself. The battery issue is none for me. It’s not rare that battery replacement becomes (nearly) impossible for final users once it reaches its EOL, so I switched to gadgets that use standard size rechargeable batteries if possible.

This is appreciated. As a hobbyist, I feel like my setup is hold by pins.

EDIT: I rely on Nextcloud, BTW.

Ah, yes, the WEP key passphrase era. I was a student then, and you could find me on the roof trying to get a stable signal to inject and capture data packets. Otherwise, no internet for me.

A flatpak… that explains it all.

235 MiB is little?

Honestly, these are the ones that matter. From those, you can choose depending on what type of work are you planning to do with your computer.

For servers: Red Hat (but it’s paid), OpenSUSE, Debian, FreeBSD

Desktop (very new hardware): Arch, Fedora

Desktop (other hardware): Mint, Ubuntu, Debian

Hardcore, embedded, very specific needs: Gentoo, Slackware, Arch

Yeah!

I kind of hate Elden Ring. I’ve played plenty of these games, but I’ve died easily like 2 or 3 times more here. And, more often than ever, I don’t know what to do next, which is easily compensated with another couple of deaths. Nah, I will never watch this.

I agree. The / directory may receive special considerations, and it may be extra protected, but once I was doing something with rm -r and …/* in some folder inside my home directory… it wasn’t fun.

There should be no secrets between (fascist state) lovers.

It’s not something you can agree or not, it’s a fact!

How is that $800 million WORTH? Is it a figure of speech?

Exactly. Overcomplicated.

We don’t agree, but I still think it is. I just described the first window that found overcomplicated, of course there may be options of UX which may have different arrangements. In any case, in my opinion, even the system applet is overcomplicated (for a system applet).

In this window, for example, what’s the use of the first panel if you wanted to edit something in some WiFi connection? I’d replace the whole first panel with a “back” button and let the window breathe.

Launch System preferences, go to Internet and WiFi. Then you’ll get a UI divided into three panels. The first one lists WiFi and networks, Firewall, Proxy and Other preferences; the second panel will list your connections, including Ethernet, WiFi 2.4 GHz, WiFi 5 GHz, WiFi 6GHz, Bluetooth, VPN and Loopback, your current connection will be auto selected; from the current selected connection you’ll see in the third panel SSID, Mode, BSSID, Restrict devices, Cloned MAC, MTU and Visibility, and this is only one in 5 tabs of options.

I’m sure I skipped some other components in the same windows, but you see my point?

UX wise, GNOME is oversimplified and Plasma is overcomplicated.

Gentoo on a Thinkpad? Why would you do yourself that?

Yes, it is a free and open source app for Lemmy.
