If a large cardboard box is a Gaylord does that mean regular boxes are gay peasantry?

Yes.

That’s on lemmynsfw.com, I think.

Platinum Preppy. Cheap and cheerful with the capability of taking a converter, different nips, and being converted into a refillable marker. Amazingly versatile pen.

The lesson: People find your views on pesto reprehensible.

The other parts about continuing to make one’s own food are ok though.

Sorry to ping you a bunch with replies. I’m curious now, do you have unique numeral symbols for the numbers after 9?

Oh! That makes my brain hurt a bit less. It’s “subtract half from five”.

This is making my brain hurt. I need to try reading a few more times but, if I am understanding it correctly, the old Danish way of saying it is mathematically incorrect?

Half-to-five == 2.5

2.5*20 == 50

…

Did I read that correctly?

Nazi’s are evil because they want to remove queer people, non-white people, disabled people etc from society (probably by either killing or enslaving them).

To be clear, there are also additional reasons. Like the whole “world domination” thing and authoritarian power structures to repress and/or murder anyone who questions the in group.

You can indeed buy better hardware for many purposes for cheaper.

Want a gaming laptop? Or a runs Linux out of the box laptop? FW is not even close to the best value there.

Want a laptop with well-documented physical specs, including CAD drawings to make readily modifiable and upgradeable, potentially being the last laptop chassis that one needs to buy? Nothing else comes close to touching FW.

I avoid ads, so, maybe they’re inappropriately marketing as gaming laptops. I’d not call that a scam but would say that it’s ethically questionable, at best. FW is a laptop for people prioritizing long-term repairability and tinkering over everything else.

…FW16 is a great Linux machine. It also had CAD drawings available that have been allowing me to sketch out possible physical modifications. It also has a PCIe 4.0 x4 available for either the GPU they sell or any other device that I decide to make.

What specifically about Framework do you think is a scam? I’d genuinely like to know since that’s been the opposite of my experience.

AuADHD reporting in.

I lean anarcho-syndicalist but I’m down with the A-C too. Just need to keep each other from being murdered by authoritarians, should The Revolution come in our lifetimes.

That’s a good way to make some of us dedicate the energy to building and flashing custom firmware.

Is this an ASD thing? That would make a lot of sense for my own behavior, if so.

I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.

EDIT: Yup. DT990s actually doing pretty decent.

EDIT 2: Not that I expect that OOP has actually nice-sounding and comfortable cans (the latter, along with repairability, is the reason that I have em in the first place), since they referred to them as “audiophile” headphones.

More so, they non-voted for it. They heard the quote:

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

And thought that it didn’t apply to them, or alternatively, they wanted to offer up LGBTQ+, Palestine, Ukraine, and PoC up as blood sacrifices in hopes of achieving the workers revolution that no evidence suggests would happen.

That’s unfortunate. Both for throwing out all of your work and replacing it with an objectively inferior solution with poor track record of long-term sustainability.

I’m amazed at your persistence. 🥄

the small request that those contributions be in the language of the project isn’t something to fight against.

When the contributions not in C are explicitly approved by the project owner, it seems that the 30+ year maintainers shouldn’t try to blockade any progress from actually happening. Working multi-language projects isn’t that much of a nightmare, if code governance and boundaries are well-defined and enforced.

Definitely a case of “everyone sucks here”. The maintainer being a dick and sabotaging R4L without technical justification and Hector putting it on blast.
