I have bought and returned 2 framework laptops. They are repairable but they are also questionable build quality.

The screen on the Framework 12 is very subpar and the size and weight throw it out of being a light laptop.

Despite saying how good Linux support was running NixOS on the replacement Framwork 13 was not great either. Wireless drops and countless reports of drops on their forums with zero responses or workarounds. Most people buy replacement wireless adapters cause the one Framework ships just doesn't work.

On top of that the laptop just feel cheap with a steep price. I have hope for the new Pro, but we'll have to see if it's any good because so far I am pretty dissapointed with Framework.

Meme licenses are fun but also useless.

This must be in Canada. We get kittens in cartons here in the USA.

No law maker is going to look at a unused district fork as a valid protest.

Damn that 30 year old protocol for sneaking up on people.

At a previous job I remember a PR to do essentially

temp=$(mktemp -d) mv $target $temp rm -r $temp &

I thought it was pretty clever. Obviously you would need to make sure mktemp is on the same filesystem (there are good flags to just use a dot file in the current directory). mv is atomic on most filesystems and then the & just runs the rm in the background .

I used an OLED tv as my computer monitor for over 2 years. Never had any burn in.

Just mac. That used to be a flex.

I watched the first 30 seconds and it was just explanation about knowing nothing about the subject. (Precious steam machines and the steam controller). It didn’t seem relevant to me.

Exclusives doesn’t mean distribution rights.

Also gaming is coming faster to arm than apple is going to switch back to x86_64. (But still not that fast)

Hard to imagine but back in the day it wasn’t up to your operating system to distribute software. They were just a platform and you had open choice to obtain software.

Apple showcasing what their hardware and software was capable of was normal. I don’t think this was negligent but maybe naive seeing how things are run now. It was much better and we got better products and competition.

Budgie was an apple developer before with Marathon which was exclusive not because of any distribution rights but just preference for the platform.

Alas money talks.
