I truly miss my old 12" macbook. It was a great "coffee shop on the weekend and relax" type laptop for myself

This is interesting - maybe it's time I use flakes...

This really feels like an sales call for AWS. Basically no speaking to the license change

> likely illiteracy of their workforce

Seriously?

>teaching the workforce just 3-5 letters and using combinations of those letters would be a massive upgrade over this system.

Upgrade, how exactly? This works fast, does not require paper or pens (which run out, dry out or go missing).

See it in action - it works fast as hell

Sounds like old hardware or some other issue

  What fancy new features will we get with systemd?

    Granular privilege controls
    Powerful service dependency and security analysis features
    Tight cgroups integration both static and dynamic
    Socket activation (so you can print from your phone without having CUPS running all the time!)
    Built in boot-time analysis
also

  What's wrong with the polyfills?
...

  corecollector (systemd-coredumpd) 1: Not needed to run KDE and GNOME, but a very useful tool that many developers expect to be able to use to easily retrieve coredumps and associated metadata, without first figuring out how to configure them properly. It is great that there is a polyfill for it, but it is unmaintained since 2020. Plasma Mobile developer Devin wrote: "When debugging crashes, it’s incredibly useful to be able to view coredumps and attach a debugger after the fact with coredumpctl, this can help us obtain backtraces that would otherwise be hard to replicate again with a debugger attached. We can also then enable DrKonqi’s coredumpd integration, which can allow users to get notifications about process crashes and see them from a GUI. DrKonqi also has optional integration with our Sentry instance, which we can enable on developer installs to automatically send crashes to a web dashboard for us."

I switched a year or two ago

It wasn't until I switched that I realized how poor bash and zsh are in comparison, even with fzf

10 min install, never looked back

Not to mention the safety. Never could figure it out, but once every 15 months or so, zsh would disappear my history. Certainly a mistake on my end, but still too easy to blow away history

Full time user of NixOS; work and personal. On unstable, but always enjoy the release notes. Essentially a 6 month history of my laptop. Sometimes noticed, mosty not

I cannot express how much satisfaction NixOS gives me

> Am I in the minority here?

Yes, and it's not even close. Metrics are clear - stutter/loading will cause many more people to close the window vs lower quality.

> I can understand various resolutions and codecs based on user preferences and devices but that's a fixed choice.

What are the odds that many of those users who set a preference and forget about it, now are wondering why youtube etc. never works at their coffee shop or when in the back yard where the WiFi is weak? The majority of video on the internet is viewed from wireless networks which always have a chance to vary in quality

> Stop trying to control the future

Every choice we make in life impacts and "controls" the future, by choice or not

Compassion for those alive or will be alive, is a worthy goal

I'd argue it's one of the ideals of living a worthwhile life

First glance I thought this was silly with left ctrl changed to fn

But on closer look, I saw caps lock was changed to ctrl. Which is what I do on all my computers

I hope the Framework ecosystem grows so we might someday see a keyboard like this for it

> I haven't seen any evidence it is run by the NSA

kinda a nonstarter, eh?

> I also haven't seen any evidence that it isn't

You can say that for any conceivable cause. It means nothing. Why NSA? why not CIA? MI6? China Security? Some rich guy in Indonesia?

> must cost at least $10000

citation needed, but also is not high enough to suggest it needs to be state run

Yep, for a few years on Gnome/NixOS. Primarily I use Zoom/Slack/Firefox/Kitty/Steam. As far as I recall, it all runs without issue

What are your issues?
