My top pick for a Linux laptop would be the Dell XPS 13 9310. It's old I guess, from 2020. But the build quality and Linux support is excellent. You could get a used one from eBay for around 400USD.

Alternatively, maybe you could look for a used Thinkpad X1 Carbon. I've purchased several of those in the past and have had really good experiences with them. The hardware is great and the software support is excellent.

I would avoid Framework. I actually just switched back to the Dell XPS 13 9310 after a year of using the Framework. Linux support on the Framework is just not as good as some other laptops. The biggest con of Framework is the HiDPI display. You will never get the display to look good. You'll have to do a ton of tweaking and debuggingβ€”and you'll still have some apps that are blurry or have weirdly sized icons or text. See: https://lemmy.today/post/22761155/13770242

Can confirm. I taught a college freshman CS class last year. The keeds didn't know what files or folders were.

Yeah, I've definitely grown to like TOML, especially after spending hours trying to edit a giant (nested) YAML file...

I didn't realize the indentation in TOML was purely aesthetic.

This

[servers]
  [servers.alpha]
  ip = "10.0.0.1"
  dc = "eqdc10"

  [servers.beta]
  ip = "10.0.0.2"
  dc = "eqdc10"

equals this

[servers]
[servers.alpha]
ip = "10.0.0.1"
dc = "eqdc10"

[servers.beta]
ip = "10.0.0.2"
dc = "eqdc10"

which equals this

{
  "servers": {
    "alpha": {
      "ip": "10.0.0.1",
      "dc": "eqdc10"
    },
    "beta": {
      "ip": "10.0.0.2",
      "dc": "eqdc10"
    }
  }
}

I've been using LibreOffice more these days for writing, slides, and spreadsheets. I can't remember now the last time I used a Google app for this.

I know people like this. For some reason people affected by different policies are surprised because they thought he was kidding. Deportations? Na, he's not actually gonna do that. Tarrifs? Na, he wouldn't do that.

I know, he literally said he would, but idk.

Currently, my email is hosted at Migadu. The email hosting is fine. However, they don't seem to offer strong *DAV support. They don't really advertise it and the little documentation they have says "we offer basic calendar support. Please be aware this is a beta feature and some functionalities are missing".

Is there such a thing as a DAV provider, like email provider, but only for WebDAV, CardDAV, and CalDAV?

Or is the answer just to self host Radicale or sabre?

It seems like if I want better DAV support, I'd have to switch email providers... which is kinda annoying.

I still keep my contacts and calendars on Google because it seems the most stable. I don't care about having the maximum possible privacy, I just care about not losing the data.

Someone told me about etesync, but I didn't like it because it's not DAV and you have to use their client apps.

I'm really surprised that most companies have standardized on DAV for contacts and calendars. That seems great because (theoretically) I can use any client.

Lab-grown rocks

When I was getting married a few years ago, I remember thinking fuck real diamonds lab-grown are literally the same thing. I remember getting some push back from some weirdos about how "real" diamonds are some how better or how people will think I'm a cheapskate or how people will feel bad for my wife...

Well, fast forward a few years and literally nobody cares, thinks about, or has said anything negative about my wife's ring. We are both 1000000% happy and satisfied with the decision to buy lab grown.

Eh, names may sound stupid at first, but after saying it a million times it'll start to sound normal. "Google" sounded stupid and silly when they just first started, but now it sounds formal and makes you think of dystopia and dread.
