Every subreddit has its own vibe. Some have fully transitioned here like linux and some of the meme sharing communities. Many have not. I cannot really think of communities on Lemmy that do not exist on Reddit.

Run a live version of kubuntu from a usb drive to confirm wifi/lan drivers work and you can access the internet.

Not sure why you got downvoted, it is a fair question. Real time multiuser editing is a powerful feature. That said it is really only needed a small fraction of the time for specific types of collaboration. Also, it can cause problems as well. Libreoffice Calc meets most of my home spreadsheet needs: calculating mortgage rates and future value of investments and such.

I am going to recommend Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle series. Its an epic yarn that stretches across the globe during the 1600’s weaving in real historical characters and events. The book is kind of a prequel of sorts to the Cryptonomicon, while you don’t need to have read it first, if you have you notice the tie ins.

This is also a big issue for me. When I felt embarrassed because of something I did, I would tall myself, “You’re so stupid!” Which launched me into a shame spiral.

What has helped me break out of the spiral is to notice when I tell myself I am stupid and actively respond, “No I am not”

He lost the case in that particular court but he won in the broader court of public opinion. The real loser was Wlliams Jenning Bryan.

Clarence Darrow, known for his defense in the Scopes “Monkey” trial, and more recently, Alan Dershowitz and Johnny Cochran.

Incidentally, the transcript from the Scopes trial is awesome. There is a book about the trial called “Trial of the Century” and it quotes from the transcripts heavily, a great read.

When I close all my tabs, i ask the question, was this hard to find? If for example I am looking for information on Tolstoy and the article I have open in my tab is the top hit when you search Tolstoy I will not bother bookmarking.

According to Framework support, there are no supported models as of yet.

I have a Framework 13 AMD running Linux Mint. It works great and I love it. Modular IO ports are super nifty.

Here are the downsides as I see them:

1. Price
2. No touch screen
3. No wifi 7

I expect 2&3 will come in the future and I can upgrade! The fact that I can upgrade rather than throw it away in the future offsets 1.

Does the salary take into account inflation?

TLDW: You have to change your mindset. Do not accept the default, be mindful and self-aware.

To quote Carl Sagan, “We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”

This feels like the farside.

I will never forget the joys of the playing Half-Life 1 on max settings with my Diamond Monster3D Voodoo2.

I found happiness. I am almost done with it. You want it after me?

This is good advice. Keep the conversation short, formal and boring. Bring up the weather as a signal there is little of interest in the conversation. When you are ready to disengage say “I will let you get back to your work now”

100% of what?

I feel like Beholders are the product of some nightmare fueled fever dream. They fascinate me endlessly.

Infinite Jest - just the part about video conferencing is wild and is even mire wild when you realize it was written in the 90’s before video conferencing really existed:

“Good old traditional audio-only phone conversations allowed you to presume that the person on the other end was paying complete attention to you while also permitting you not to have to pay anything even close to complete attention to her. A traditional aural-only conversation […] let you enter a kind of highway-hypnotic semi-attentive fugue: while conversing, you could look around the room, doodle, fine-groom, peel tiny bits of dead skin away from your cuticles, compose phone-pad haiku, stir things on the stove; you could even carry on a whole separate additional sign-language-and-exaggerated-facial-expression type of conversation with people right there in the room with you, all while seeming to be right there attending closely to the voice on the phone. And yet — and this was the retrospectively marvelous part — even as you were dividing your attention between the phone call and all sorts of other idle little fuguelike activities, you were somehow never haunted by the suspicion that the person on the other end’s attention might be similarly divided.”
