Any second-hand business class laptop that fits your budget, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.

Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they're still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.

You'll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.

IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn't locked before buying.

That and without an income source, you can't pay content creators, so you can't attract them to the platform in the first place. People dislike YouTube for running ads, but the ads are what pays for the videos.

Self-hosted WordPress blogs were actually already able to federate with the fediverse (if the blog admin installs the requisite plugin). The recent news is that blogs hosted on WordPress.com are now also able to federate.

WordPress.com is the name of the hosting service by the creators of WordPress, but you can also choose to host the WordPress software elsewhere (and many do).

It's called the Super key on Linux. On Windows it's called the Windows key and on Mac the Command key.

Are you suggesting that Linus Sebastian, age 36, is somehow a Gen Zer?

Eh, this is a classic joke by now. There's those jokes on the Windows side too (like the 'delete system32' one).

Well, it sure sounds like X is delivering users to Mastodon.

Nitpick: it’s performant (capable of a high level of performance), but not performative (being done as a performance).

Nobody really knows, but there are two theories floating around:

  • The Lemmy devs paid for their domain
  • Their DNS entries are still cached and it will stop working tomorrow

Ah, I understand now. The expression is evaluated like this:

  • $a == 1 ? "one" : $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"
  • $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"
  • "two" ? "three" : "other"
  • "three"
