I use macos because of the battery life and because I want a Linux like experience without wondering if some weird software a company update forces on us will work, like citrix desktop or their random vpn client. But for someone who spends most of their time in the terminal, and the rest of the time in a browser, macos has some really annoying quirks especially when it comes to window management

The new model is Intel or amd unless I missed something. They said in the video the battery life was entirely from video playback, which can be run on efficiency mode

My apologies, I don't know where I got the ARM architecture part from. I really want one of those machines, but I guess if they can't approach MacBook battery life yet I'm stuck on MacOS for now.

I think they said 22 hours of video playback in the video. If it even gets half of that for normal usage I'd be sold, the only thing stopping me giving it a shot is they are currently more expensive than the MBP and I'm not sure if they are worth it until the first reviews come in

There is a framework mainboard being made by a 3rd party vendor

This "they'll just use a vpn" argument is infuriating to me because it's being used to downplay intrusive laws and make them more palatable. The obvious next step (the UK already hinted at it after the online safety act) is forcing VPNs to do ID verification.

if anything, the "they'll just use a vpn" is an argument for the other way.

Law has privacy downsides and is trivially bypassable -> law is bad.

And then, blocking the VPNs that don't comply, Russia style. (If you're sure It Can't Happen Here,[0] you're part of the problem.)

As for why would they, the same reason there are hundreds of tracking cookies on every site.

The same social media that stores everything down to your keystrokes? Sure, the problem is needing a gov ID, sure.

Self aware wolf. You don't see the problem with associating that level of tracking with your gov id?

Apart from being wayland and a more modern look, why are you excited about omarchy and AI and you weren't with i3?

This kind of "if only" sarcastic comment belongs on reddit from 5 years ago

This article felt really informative at first but sone point it was like reading an LLM getting stuck in a circle

It certainly promised more in the beginning than it actually delivered.

It all starts to feel like letting those “before the youtube video” ads run too long without skipping.

A hook you know people would like to know the answer to… followed by utter horseshit.

How do you set up this shortcut? I'd prefer to get rid of extensions, if for no better reason than sometimes it switches to my work profile and I have to re-login

This whole article is begging the question. Books aren't expensive because they could cost more. If they thought people would pay more, books would cost more. There could be many reasons books didn't keep up with inflation - their production might be cheaper due to efficiency or cheaper raw materials, maybe they were already too expensive, or maybe inflation is skewed towards certain areas - imagine using the same argument to say RAM isn't too expensive actually because of the price of it in 1980.

It's interesting that he didn't breakdown the cost per book to the publishers. I think before ebooks came out he probably would have done, but ebooks have made it clear that books are priced at essentially the price they think they can get away with.
