Price point is fine for a “new” laptop.

Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.

Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd

I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

Also, I guess that if your country is predominantly white you’ll end up mostly with white people.

Despite what the great replacers think, America is still mostly white or at least passably white.

Poor homie is probably both lonely and horny. A terrible combination.

So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.

I’m a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.

Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I’m a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.

The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.

If there are no sources listed (or they don’t exist because they’re hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.

Damn that’s a pretty good explanation actually

I thought you said it was “frustrating” seeing some with nuance get upvoted and I appreciated the sarcasm on that and the sincerity in this one

I wanna believe that Ivermectine is so consistently reported by these people as helpful because they all have parasites from raw meat diets. So when they get sick with covid the wormer does make them feel better, but not because of the covid.

As a mediocre white guy who dropped out of college

Fuck that guy

I’ve got a virtualized set up to.

Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff

Sorry I can’t finish this meme. I got to the second one and I was two tired.

You see how

“Link” is highlighted?

Highlight “discussion”

The joke is that one would assume its a sappy sentiment that I’m thinking about home and my spouse while I relax with a beer.

And the punch line is alcoholism

Beer I get on the last day of a work trip by myself and tomorrow morning I fly home to my spouse I haven’t seen in a week

(They don’t let me drink)

Your username is almost relevant though

This video by Northridgefix always stuck with me because most of why his business grew is because he spent so much Google ads that he made enough money to then move to a strip mall by a major road all while making YouTube videos and taking mailed in work.

He has another video looking for new employees because he had too much business.

I’m a simple man.

I got to thepiratebay.org

I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server

I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.

Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!

This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before

I’m probably just stupid.
