That's good, they might have improved. Mine didn't last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can't really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don't manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn't it? (And I don't think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

Yeah, I can sort of understand the impulse that everything must be preserved no matter what because we don't know what will be useful or interesting, but it's not realistic. Embrace ephemerality! It's fine!

Americans when doing something American: "What are we, Russia?"

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to crowdfund a privacy respecting cover+chiller package.

Learning Rust made me a better C# programmer.

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I've used.

Framework hasn't done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

[–] bilb@lem.monster 2 points 1 day ago

That's a great resource I was unaware of! Thank you.

I've liked this one lately.

Is that Falkon? I'd use it if it could integrate with bitwarden.

 

I have recently started getting into film photography and I'm still learning the ropes. After buying a variety of color and black and white films to experiment with, I noticed that I somehow accidentally bought a couple of rolls of very high speed Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. At this point, all I have is a Kodak Ektar H35N and an Olympus Pen-EES 2 which has a max ISO of 400. Is the Ilford film useless to me, or can it be used at lower speeds in certain conditions?

EDIT: This is tangential, but I was originally going to ask this question on Reddit instead of Lemmy because the conventional wisdom is that Lemmy isn't useful yet for more niche topics, but I thought "why not try Lemmy first anyway," and I'm glad I did. I found the most active film photography community on Lemmyverse.net (which hadn't yet even federated to my small instance) and it paid off. How nice!

 

I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

We welcome back our friend, author Douglas Rushkoff, to discuss what’s real and what’s fake about the AI publicity push, the next phase of the internet, and human connection in the oppressive techno-future.

 

Looking forward to this machine. The only thing that would preempt my purchasing a Framework 16 might be the System76 Virgo laptop, but that seems to still be in early dev.

We come in peace and go to pieces by going back on everything we’ve ever said and doing a UFO episode. We examine the recent claims that the US government has an alien spaceship. Featuring the Smoking Men @bpleasies (twitter.com/bpleasies) and @RobertSkvarla (twitter.com/RobertSkvarla).

 

The sole moderator hasn't been active for 2 years. I just want to remove/update the sticky post for the most part. And no disrespect for @SmellyFingers62@lemmy.ml, if they come back I'm happy to add them as a moderator once again.

 

We are forced by Fate and obsession to follow the tale of the Titan in its journey into the deep — and into the very gates of what scientists are calling "Wet Hell."
