My 16GB XPS running Linux almost fills up entirely when running several docker containers, IDEA, Firefox, Teams, Postman and a few other, smaller apps, but it fits still, and I can work with it (tho I can’t wait to get my 32GB framework laptop)

Now gimme a 8GB MBP and I’ll show you that I wouldn’t get shit done on that configuration. And at 1600 it’s just crazy.

I don’t wanna repeat myself, but: 7840u for the next few years, then I hope RISC V will be mature enough to kick some ass (and that framework releases a board for it).

That’s all I dream of.

My hopes for RISC V are higher than I like to admit.

I really hope it goes mainstream and gives us ARM benefits with the open nature awesomeness

I tried oh-my-bash with some fancy theme, but went back to plain old bash from my distro since suggestions for autocomplete had suddenly started to lag. Went back to default and it’s as quick as ever to suggest.

I’m not willing to trade efficiency for bells and whistles

Was gonna say this. Why TF is list not -l as…everywhere else?

Your single command is just an “&&” away

It happens all the time in the magical world of closed source, too.

Ever heard about the iOS vs Android fights? How people shame Android users for being green bubbles?

It’s just the extension of the my camp vs theirs applied to the tech field, nothing new.

Any modern browser will probably kill your setup anyway.

Google Sans Text, Cabin, Fira Sans, Roboto, Noto

For monospaced Jetbrains Mono, Fira Code, Iosevka

Laptops usually have a dedicated key to turn off the screen, no?

Checkpoint: have you unsubbed? Unsub LTT now.

There’s plenty of good, honest content out there.

Goodix is the manufacturer of some popular FP readers (at least it’s the one I have on my 2021 XPS).

And it’s known to not support Linux at all.

So for me it’s just a useless button sitting there doing nothing.

Seconding this request.

Possibly screenshots to avoid paying them a visit, but, eh, a link would do, too.

Thanks

It’s not a small detail and it’s not pointless to point it out.

When you messed up so big, you wanna make sure your “we got this, folks” video is impeccable.

Same, I unsubbed back then.

(Thanks Louis Rossmann for existing, BTW).

Recent events only confirmed that my choice was right.

I unsubbed from MKBHD as well a while ago, I’m not at ease with YouTubers becoming corporations (or getting close to).

Fuck Goodix

My rule is quite simple.

Open source -> telemetry on

Else -> off

Examples: KDE, Firefox

I’m also just a normal tech person, so my answers may be inaccurate.

My understanding is:

1. ARM seems superior in the mobile computing domain where efficiency matters more than raw power. I wonder if that’s related to the RISC vs CISC instructions… if that’s the case, having an open architecture alternative to ARM would allow any manufacturer to create their CPU designs without having to pay a hefty fee to ARM. Should bring more competition and won’t keep manufacturers hostage of ARM. If ARMs raises their royalties 1000x, Apple, Qualcomm etc just have to comply for lack of alternatives, and consumers end up paying the price. This won’t be possible with RISC-V
2. I can definitely see this happening, or at least having the option. OSs and apps will have to build for that new architecture of course, which takes time and money. I’m personally particularly excited about laptops
3. I guess. I don’t think it’s ever impossible to do this, it’s always a matter of how much of an impact it has on performances

If I said something stupid, please let me know, I’d like to learn about this!

Let’s just appreciate the fact that basically no other browser has this.

With chrome/ium you can’t even block ads.
