What if, that might overwhelm you, this doesn’t answer the question at all?

You’re simply pushing the question half a millimeter to the side. Nothing more.

That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.

Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.

What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.

Pff, I carve my own CPUs from compacted sand, like real men.

What is the battery situation like?

The older, cheaper devices are obviously, well, older and thus the battery degraded a bit. Linux isn’t exactly optimized for these things either. I would expect less than great battery life.

Why not just recommend adblockers? No ads, no revenue, no matter how much tracking.

Even that is pretty temporary.

If you build a house, there’s a good chance, it will survive for decades or even centuries. The house I currently live in survived two world wars and heavy bombardment in one of them. I don’t think any software will manage that.

I think we (as an industry) need to be honest to ourselves and admit that pretty much everything we’re building is temporary. And not in a philosophical sense. 90% of the code I wrote in my about 10 years of professional work is probably gone by now - sometimes replaced by myself. In another ten years, chances are not a single line of code will have survived.

And most importantly for me personally: they seem to disregard people using multiple windows.

I rarely work in one window, and having a large screen for only one app is pretty stupid.

Gnome feels like it’s intended for small screen devices like tablets.

At least for programming/Linux stuff, it often enough actually does deliver keywords, that you can use as jumping off points. The proposed solutions however…

That’s one of the reasons why I prefer to run older, enterprise hardware.

There’s a good chance, everything has been configured before and most distros work just fine without any tweaking.

I want a stable platform to work on, not another hobby.

Yep.

That’s what the RTFM folks don’t seem to understand: if you didn’t even know, what you’re looking for, you can’t look it up.

For most of the practical use cases, a mechanism to somehow link to your own instance would be enough.

I often stumble upon links to other instances, but from there, there’s no direct way to interact via my own instance. I have to awkwardly copy URL parts around or search the post in my own instances UI.

So, you fucked up and it’s postgres’ fault?

These patches do offer some benefits for cloud providers or in general orgs that host a bunch of different products on potentially the same machine.

I could see benefits in them, especially if the v3 or whatever addresses some of the issues.

I didn’t say Ubuntu isn’t used, but it’s by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.

I wouldn’t say that.

RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I’ve literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.

Redhat isn’t worth billions without a reason.

I don’t use mint, but the serenity of a reliable platform to work on by far outweighs the boringness of the system.

My computer is a tool, not a hobby (anymore).

Fluxbox, obviously. \s

You could easily throw the components into an old tower case.

Getting the PSU to fit could be a bit tricky due to the rather short cables.
