It’s thinkpad T420. Is it powerful enough for Cinnamon?
What’s the easiest and most secure linux distro for a non-techie? This is for a spare thinkpad I want to try linux on.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI toolsEnglish
5·3 months agoLarge companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August.
Someone explain to me how I am to see this “rate” as - is it adoption rate or usage rate? IF it is adoption rate 13.5% of all large firms are using it? and it’s declined to 12%? Or is it some sort of usage rate and if so, whatever the fuck is 12% usage?

72·5 months agoIt is strategic necessity for China for energy security and for their own environment. Their predominant source of electricity has been coal which they have abundant of but is polluting the air they breathe. Does anyone recall the issues they had at Beijing Olympics? They have insufficient sources of oil and gas domestically. Alternative energy sources are their best domestic source of energy.

9·6 months agoFalse. Median farm family incomes are $97,984 in 2023 while the median family income for the country was $80k. “In 2023, the median U.S. farm household had $1,439,138 in wealth” while the median US family net wealth was $192,000. Farmers on average are far better off than the average American. Note that corporate farm incomes are NOT included in these figures.

4·10 months agoYeah that’s exactly it. I no longer use reddit. when I do searches reddit does come up. But I don’t need to go onto reddit because AI summarizes things. And I skip reddit anyways in the search results.
























It’ll just be used for browsing office work so sounds like it’ll be fine.
