I’ve never heard of this but looks very cool!

CEO is a jackass but the product is fantastic and has a great free tier, although P2P/torrenting was removed from the free tier unfortunately I believe

Yes they are based in america but they have to comply with regional laws since they operate internationally. the apps available in these stores, and the laws that apply to them, differ per country.

What kind of text editing do you do? Coding? Config files? Hard to recommend if we don’t know the use case :P

If you want to get into terminal text-editors, I recommend https://helix-editor.com/ . It’s modal like vi/vim/neovim etc., but has much easier and more intuitive keybinds, and comes batteries-included and doesn’t require extensions.

Downsides: Not fully mature, there’s no extension support so not suited for very niche use-cases. And if you ever have to administrate a server through SSH, it will likely only have vim which has different motions and keybinds.

Been using it for 99% of my coding for three ish years, very happy.

You know when you see some bait and go “that’s bait” but somehow you’re still angry? No? Well I do

Depends on the topic. Friend recently said that his old PC will no longer receive Windows 10 security updates soon and he wants to try Linux, and just wanted quick advice. I had plans but I was over at his house within 10 minutes

Yeah but it doesn’t matter if Google developed webP. They can make their own 2.0 version of any open standard. That’s why the comment you replied to was replying to is nonsense

From what I’ve read, AVIF doesn’t outperform JXL on any metric except browser support

You don’t need to be involved in an open standard to extend it in your own standard. It really doesn’t matter who made the open standard, it’s open. If Google decides to extend the standard, the old standard will still be around for everybody to use. In the same vein it doesn’t matter who developed XMPP, Google would have extended it one way or another.

EEE is a terrible thing but I don’t see how using an open image standard has anything to do with that

Idk Google for sure does a lot of that but do open image standards give them any control?

Neither does my boss, he’s not completely delusional. He’s a dev himself. He’s just the normal amount of technooptimist delusional, luckily

That would make sense if it didn’t use a Windows file path :D

Wait I’m confused is this about people developing cloud software or is this about people who do their development on a remote cloud machine? It seems to be about the latter but I’ve never seen that

What? Technocapital siding with fascism to turn a quick profit? How unexpected!

I’m confused are you talking about android or linux phones?

Makes sense I guess. A senior already knows what the possible approaches are, and knows the correct terminology. They will be able to give a much more precise prompt, and a better review.

A junior needs to figure stuff out for themselves, and that’s good.

Personally I avoid AI because it’s just more enjoyable to write code than to review and change it.

What I’m saying is that integer scaling is no longer required. I’ve been using non-integer scaling on laptops for the last three ish years on Plasma, and I’ve seen the number of apps that can’t handle it go from a few to almost none. I’m not missing out, I’m living the dream :D

That being said you make a good point. With (good) fractional scaling support on linux being very recent and only working properly on certain desktops, some resolutions are not optimal. I imagine 1440p and such isn’t great. A linux laptop should at least provide a warning.

Thanks for the review!

I wouldn’t attribute the hidpi experience to the hardware too much. Wayland support has been catching up and most things work out of the box now, especially on GNOME/Plasma.

Question, what prompted you to buy this laptop in the first place? I’ve never heard of it.

edit: Ah, I see it has open source firmware, that’s cool

And they’ll all be optimized for GPU workloads :(

Yeah for anyone who doesn’t know them, this is basically the fox news of Germany. WELT, BILD, and NIUS are the biggest publications I believe and if you see them please don’t even dignify them with a read or watch.
