yeah same. got banned for a few and decided it was actually quite nice then set up an instance block for .ml.

real leftists aren’t bootlickers for anyone.

honestly if I met my 14 year old self I’d give that kid a hug. they wouldn’t accept it, but wow did they need it. turns out shit does, in fact, get better.

there’s a lot of people that hopped on the Linux train in the past few years. which is great, truly. but many of them don’t understand where it came from or what it was originally designed to solve. particularly on lemmy, people are pretty up in arms about their opinions of Linux all the time, so I would bet whichever comm was doing that is mainly the new heads. again, love that it’s getting mainstream recognition but I wish the combative attitude was at least tabled until they actually understand it.

the recent debate of systemd in here kind of drove home that a lot of people just parrot points without having their own thought out opinions.

“yes, they intentionally made it so a perfectly capable device can’t build apps for the app store, but that has nothing to do with ewaste!”

no idea why you’ve spent so much time trying to convince people in this thread the behavior that apple has been openly criticized and indeed sued over is somehow ok.

idk. I just graduated college with the laptop I bought in 8th grade. that thing is 9 years old at this point. I paid 550$ after convincing my parents to cover the extra 50$ I didn’t have cause I wanted the 1050ti version. I’m a computer science student and took a few mobile app dev classes. it never gave an issue and is still kicking.

I think for nearly 6 times what I paid in 2017, one should be entitled to use a device for as long as the hardware is able to keep going, regardless of brand. that macbook was hobbled by a companies arbitrary decisions. 7 years is apples typical support length, yes (it’s the same for iOS on iPhones) but the fact is that these devices are still perfectly capable of remaining useful, but apple gladly turns them all into ewaste to get people to buy new ones.

your point of it still being solid if it had Linux is kinda moot. the average user doesn’t know how to install Linux and that’s not what they paid 3000$ for.

…that’s your selling point? this kinda proves my point

I play old school runescape. the community is either the nicest queer people you’ve ever met or absolute incels and there really not any in between.

honestly the ports are whatever, I care more about the shitty TI PD controllers that always break and are programmed and not replaceable even by people who can replace the ports.

if you want sad but unfortunate proof, read about the case of genie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)?wprov=sfla1

the relevant bit here is that when she was taken out of the room she was kept in till age 13, her eyes were literally unable to focus on anything more than 10 feet away (as that was the size of the room she was kept in). imo that shows that being outside where objects tend to be farther away at a young age helps train your eyes to do so in the future.

not diagnosed, but peer reviewed

everyone I know who grew up in that area despises scrapple. I think it’s just PR and tourism keeping it around haha.

yep! I mean soldered ssds are 100% replacable. it sucks and is expensive, but definitely doable with the right tools. but then they pair them with the t2 and underfill them trying to prevent exactly that

don’t worry, the soldered ssd will fail and brick your computer long before the ram!

neat! very unique idea which is impressive these days

this person opening lemmy:

I have that ups! apc br1500g?

looks like an older nvidia workstation card. potentially a tesla k80 of the top of my head? the annoying thing with those cards is that they’re meant to be passively cooled in a temperature controlled environment, so looks like they added a fan to help keep it cool. those cards get mad hot otherwise.

not really. you can disable the default jellyfin login and force it to use ONLY ldap.
