  • And we’re having less and less deadly injured people on developed countries (excluding the USA, if the statistics are correct I’ve read).

    Tesla’s autopilot seems to be a step backwards with a future promise of being better than human drivers.

    But they slimmed down their sensors to fucking simple 2D cams.
    That’s just cheaping out on the cost of Tesla owners - but also of completely uninvolved people around a self driving Tesla, that didn’t take the choice to trust this tech, that’s living more on PR, than actual results


  • I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

    It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
    But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

    But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

    And I need to highlight their support!
    After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
    Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

    Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
    Got that one for free as well after warranty

    So, I can’t really complain about them.
    Actually the opposite.

    But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…



  • As mentioned in the linked comments, I think just using something like Tinker Writer Deck ( https://tinker.sh/ ) or even just using something like focuswriter in a slimmed down modern OS, is a much easier approach - because of much easier interfacing with the outside world (and used hardware). That way you can use rather normal stuff like rsync to backup your work through an actual ethernet or WiFi connection.

    But I must admit, I really like the sentiment of the article :⁠-⁠)
    (Although I’m a bit put off by his self referencing as a ‘vulture’ - but maybe I’m just out of the loop here…)






  • For a text based DE they use the mouse quite much in their demo video (at least in the first minute - haven’t gotten further, maybe I didn’t get the gist of it)

    Still, the idea sounds tempting

    Edit: ah, ok
    So you define the resulting TUI first (with mouse and X) and then you can use that also in the console.
    Hmm…ok, that could maybe be a nice thing for my server

    Anyone having some experience with it?
