Apple and wait for Asahi Linux to finish their driver support 🫠 don’t know what to tell you man.

I have never tried framework laptops - maybe they’re glorious, maybe they’re junk - but of all the laptops I tried Apple are the only decent ones hardware-wise (and software-wise too if you like osx).

I don’t know who else makes decent laptops nowadays, but Lenovo isn’t it, and most likely won’t be.

Good luck hoping for anything about Lenovo, they’ve gone down and down the shitter ever since they “split” from IBM.

No I don’t own a framework nor plan to do so, I’m just an average IT guy who is forced to choose between Lenovo and Mac to work, and after the third garbage laptop in a row bit the bullet and got the Mac. I also own an x200 and a t430 that i was in love with - nothing to do with the present day latrines masquerading as computers.

Screw Lenovo really. Hope for some decent competition to framework (I hope for that too, they are currently the only ones in that niche) but don’t hope for it from them.

I have never watched it and probably never will- I’m sure it’s a great movie but the twist is one of the most spoiled in internet history :(

Nothing is ever truly original, everything you create is a remix of things you encountered after they are processed by your subconscious. And that’s ok. Even if your song will end up to be very similar to another one it will be your own spin on the musical “idea”. Go for it

It’s a bit more nuanced than that. Meloni is from the istitutionalised fascists, who are indeed generally Zionist. The grassroots fascist movements such as forza nuova are generally pro Palestine, and have been for decades. Just like in every category, you find both.

I don’t know if you’re being serious but what does that have to do with anything? In Italian the word for “beard” is feminine, I can assure you nobody links it with femininity in any way. Just because the neutral gender doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean everything is actually gendered.

See my comment to the OP

Italian here, a bit of info:

The meeting in Modena will likely get cancelled. The mayor published an update today on his social media where he claims that an administrative investigation will take place where the grant of public space will be reconsidered in light of the information about the event. It was probably granted as an oversight.

The meeting with dugin will happen and can’t not happen. Dugin will be in video call from Russia. The call will take place in a private structure, there is nothing anybody - even the police - can do about it. There will be protests. I will be there. But the event will take place regardless.

If y’all and I gather in my living room and we make cheerful poems about the holocaust and chant heil Hitler to each other’s face it’s still legal. You can say anything you want in your private space. This is not Russia, as much as those pieces of shit gathering there would like to.

Anecdotal stuff from Italy: 5 years ago you could buy EVO for some 3 euro /lt at the supermarket, or super delicious local oil for 10/lt. This year it’s 6/lt for supermarket, and average for local oil has gone 14 - 18 - 20/lt in the last 3 years.

If olive oil didn’t spoil it would be better than real estate.

If people working at big companies had spare time, now that would be fantastic

It looks like the comment thread disappeared so this will probably be a private answer. Whatever. No, accusing a Jew of supporting Israel is not a NEGATIVE generalisation unless you think supporting Israel is a universally negative feature. So no, still not antisemitism.

That comment may have been in poor taste but that ain’t antisemitism friend.

Jews normally have a strong sense of belonging and identity, and while a lot of Jews are opposed to the Israel government it’s not at all out of place for somebody with a clearly Jewish name to be biased towards the Jewish side of a conflict. You could be forgiven for thinking that.

Change the context a little bit - this is now a story about the Falklands war and somebody named “Barry Bugglesworth” is strongly on the British side. Are you surprised?

Now I’m not saying the guy was right. Generalising is inappropriate and generally not a sign of great intelligence, but it’s not antisemitism just because it’s targeted towards a Jewish person.

Antisemitism is a powerful word, let’s not wear it out.

So stupid I saw it used a lot of times and I used it myself before I even knew the guy… it conveys the meaning so well

I’ll be honest, I do research companies and aim for ethical employers and all that, but

1. the job market is fucked, techies come a dime a dozen nowadays - anything you apply to the competition is fucking fierce so you can’t really afford to be picky

2. I care about how ethical my employer is, but not enough to be chocked in debt or live paycheck to paycheck without affording a single luxury in my life. I’m talking “eating out once per week” here, not yachts.

Disengage, mostly.

I’m good at tech stuff but I hate 99% of the work that I’m good at, so i just treat it as the revenue source that it is and try not to think about it too much.

If things in my life had gone differently I may have had to mine coal somewhere to get my paycheck, so overall it isn’t that bad.

The idea of getting paid to do stuff I enjoy is buried there with the rest of my youth delusions.

IDK chief. It seems like one of those things that are hard to do in theory as you said, but relatively easy in practice.

I mean just about any human who has played a bit with ChatGPT nowadays is able to identify ChatGPT generated paragraphs within a few words. I don’t suppose it would be much harder for a machine.

Sorry, rounding error

Communism tried hard to save the world plenty of times, but every time those pesky capitalists in the Supreme Soviet, in the CCP and in all the other communist governments had to ruin it for the poor people 😤

Anybody in the world who isn’t Russia says that, guess everybody is CIA then.

I guess the real CIA is the friends we made along the way.
