Basically competent support for hardware for laptops newer than 2014. Proper thunderbolt, displaylink, trackpad, fingerprint reader, facial rec support.
My company insists on buying these shitty Dell DisplayLink docking stations. They suck so hard they are just a stupid expensive 90W charger. Even OS X users hate them. The frustrating thing is, these things were supposed to allow us to plug our laptop in anywhere and get two working screens, keyboard and charging. The only bit that works reliably is the keyboard and mouse.
Really? I find displaylink awesome I alternatively use ChromeOS, Linux and windows with no issues even gameing on windows (lowers the FPS but fine for my abilities)
Curious what HW you are using I have a couple of different Dell DL models
Linux on displaylink was iffy but it has been great the last few years.
Yes however on windows and mac displaylink “sucks” on linux it is practically unusable. I do agree Dlink sucks, but modern laptops have no alternatives to speak of.
I wish Wayland had support for multi-finger gestures. I know my System76 laptop’s trackpad supports them on Windows, but Windows is trash. I use them all the time on my Mac, but I just use a mouse on Linux.
I have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won’t buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.
afaik tuxedo laptops are great… but I don’t own any (and don’t need a new laptop rn) so idk
also maybe you need a legacy driver for your touchpad like xf86 synaptics
Is noone going to comment on how someone trained a bunch of animals to help with cleaning? They were more than an employee, they were a Disney Princess!
Just the other day I had my year in review . My couch went over how much I improved and the great job I’m doing and for all that I get a raise for $0 . Meanwhile my rent , car insurance and grocery bill has increased alot . Hopefully one of the jobs I applied for today get back to me soon .
I’d say solidly GenZ. Thinking that everybody else is stuck in the vortex of lies but you have now broken free by [doing something only marginally different]. The kind of idealism you see in youth. Fediverse apps help with some of the problems we see in other social media, but ultimately it’s a new diet, same shit.
Ironically Plato takes this into account in his allegory. There are lots of levels to “knowledge” (which he equated with goodness); we could be in the same spot just with our heads turned, or right behind the wall, or outside the cave but looking at the reflections in the water. And in each stage everyone believes they’re right and that they know the truth (except maybe in the last one). Honestly I think with fedi we just managed to turn our heads.
We did. Keep in mind that the explosion of growth on Lemmy is mostly made up of people that lost their apps due to the API rule changes, the ones that were opinionated and engaged enough to be selecting a 3rd party solution. So, Lemmy just got bombed with the loudest and most self-righteous of reddit users that now loudly circlejerk about how much better Lemmy is. In reality, all we have is a less diverse crowd of really loud people. Same shit, different platform.
Fediverse makes improvements on existing social media formats, but there are so many issues inherent to online social media that cannot be fixed by slightly changing the format.
Short-term, consequence-free interaction with strangers is not a substitute for actual social interaction, but it’s become one of the default modes of socialization in the modern world. It’s a bell that can’t be un-rung, but moving from reddit to lemmy isn’t going to mute it in any significant way either.
We are in complete agreement about the “value” of social media — very little. The real value as you imply is in-person humans making kind conversation in physical environments. Let’s do that.
I’m really only here because I want to participate in the fall of Reddit — but just moments ago I was having a coffee with five close face to face friends — that’s where it’s really happening.
“Now that I birthed a child, I need paternity leave from my family. I spent that time with my chosen family at work. Can you look after my baby in the meantime?”
“That’s a reason for me to break up. Here is my 2 weeks notice.”
“nobody:” indicates that in the kid’s perception, the split up was out of the blue. The “nobody:” formulation indicates a moment of initial silence, or of everything being fine. The contrast of initial silence/everything seeming ok, and a dramatic break up of one’s parents adds an extra layer of drama and comedy to the situation. It serves a purpose.
It’s funnier to imagine it like “nobody said anything” or “nobody said nothing”, it kind of implies a casual delivery, it answers a question of how it all started
Felt like it. In sixth grade, some kid was getting bullied for their parents splitting. The teacher asked everyone with separated parents to raise their hands and more than half the class did.
That kid with their weird family still being all together and stuff.
Somehow, my body became coffee intolerant. I would drink espresso all the time as a teen and then, one day, any kind or amount of coffee would just give me super severe stomach cramps. Like debilitatingly painful. So I don’t drink coffee no more. And it’s not the sugar or the caffeine, either; soda doesn’t do this to me. Just coffee. Which sucks, because I like coffee.
"I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”
Income share isn't actually a good indicator of anything on its own. One would at the very least need to provide some sort of inflation chart and some sort of equivalent to a consumer price index. Like, it wouldn't mean much if they all had the same income if that income couldn't buy bread for example. not saying that was or was not the case, just using an example of how the given charts are meaningless on their own. That you provided them without even trying to provide context means you're unaware of this and are ignorant to the issue or you're actively misleading people.
Just give a quick “oh, thank you” in a pleasant, surprised tone. Comes off as gracious, but not conceited. Unless it’s something you can’t help, then it’s more charming if you act like it’s a skill in a cheeky way. I.e “wow you’re tall”
“Thanks I’ve been working on it”
It’s worth noting, you’ll come off as more awkward if you try to fire back a compliment yourself. It came organically to them, and isn’t necessary to mirror, unless you feel like they’re fishing.
