Yeah, this is one of those constant annoyances that you kinda just live with. It doesn’t matter that much, because compound words were at some point not one word, and there may be separate words that you use today that will join together during your career. Electronic mail became e-mail became email. As long as the casing doesn’t hide the meaning, you’re doing it right. Also be consistent. Don’t recreate such monstrosities as XMLHttpRequest.

Those glasses are hideous, but the Superhero Burger looks reasonable.

I love that they couldn’t get Jim Carrey to do the commercial, so they just kept him out of frame or unlit.

1. Code in Emacs or Jetbrains (depends on language and laptop cpu)
2. Run make to build, run, debug, or clean (I like makefiles for documenting basic tasks)
3. Commit with git when chunk of work is done

I tend to do everything locally on bare metal. I never liked putting stuff in containers or running a vm.

VS Code is a great editor, though. It actually feels a bit like Emacs.

This is incredibly cruel. Mail is one of the few things prisoners have to bring them connection and joy. The American prison system has no interest in helping people. They just want to break them so that they’ll be slaves forever. One of the most shameful ongoing tragedies in the nation’s history.

Very Christian of In-N-Out to refuse to protect those with weak immune systems.

It’s not any battery. They just didn’t do the original manufacturing, so you can find compatible replacements elsewhere.

I bought the System76 Kudu laptop back in 2016, but it is actually a W670RZ model laptop manufactured by Clevo Co. in China (unlike my previous laptop which was a MacBook Pro manufactured by Apple in China). System76 wasn’t the only company selling the W670RZ, so they’re not the only ones you can go to for replacement parts.

The main thing I like is the hardware support. I knew before purchasing that everything would work, and that helped me feel okay dropping a pretty penny on a new laptop. Besides that, I’d say they’re fine. They aren’t designing and manufacturing their own hardware (at least not back when I bought one); the laptops are pretty standard off-the-shelf stuff. System76 just promises that it’ll all work out-of-the-box. I’ve never used Pop!_OS, so I can’t speak to that. Arch and Debian work great, though.

The only negative I can think of is: once the battery started to go after several years, they didn’t have a replacement in their store, but because it’s a generic laptop, there were new ones available on Amazon. It just would’ve been nice to get it from System76.

All-in-all, I’m a happy customer. I’m keeping my eye on Framework, though. The MNT Reform is also interesting. I don’t like how thick it is, but that’s because it uses 18650s for the battery, which would solve the problem of buying a new battery just to find that all the batteries were manufactured at the same time, so there are no working replacements.

Yeah, I have a couple T420 ThinkPads, and for $100 they’re pretty sweet, but they show their age.

I’m relatively happy with my System76, but based on your needs you could get a lot of value from a $500 used ThinkPad on Ebay.

I fully support this. You do you. It’s your computer; you can do what you want with it. Whether you’re using it for work or play, if it’s the way you like it, then it’s not wrong.

These days, I just pop on some Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, or Nine Inch Nails.

This is a great watch! This is a piece of our digital history that I was not in the slightest aware of.

Because phone manufacturers don’t open source their firmware, you probably won’t be able to get Linux on an off-the-shelf phone. (Please someone correct me if I’m wrong).

Your best bet, if you want to go down thus route, is to get the PinePhone Pro. It’s relatively affordable.

Before you try anything, think hard about your relationship with your phone and what you expect from it. Does work require you have an app installed? What kind of apps do you use regularly? You won’t have things like: CVS for meds, AA for flying, Steam for 2fa, Signal, Telegram, google maps, etc. Some you might be able to use their webapps, but the browser might be a bit sluggish because it’s the full desktop version. Firefox isnt fully mobile friendly. Battery life won’t be what you’re used to. Linux on the phone is just like your regular Linux, so you’ll have the stuff your used to from there, and you’ll having calling, sms, mms, and voicemail.

I have the PinePhone and the Librem 5, but I still use my android.
