For Surface hardware compatibility, check this out. I have a fully working touchscreen, pen and all, on my Surface Pro 4 running Mint thanks to this project. Essentially, it’s just a different kernel you install through your package manager that replaces the default for your distro. Let me know if you have any questions. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/

One of the hardest things for me. My relax space is home and I can’t make it there on my lunch. My brain doesn’t wanna switch out of work mode because then it could take way too long to switch back.

Nah, people are way too lazy and complacent.

Probably vim. It works fine out of the box but it took me way too long to figure out things like why my terminal colors were never quite right out of the box (had to set it to 256 color mode or what have you). And once I wanted to use some a few plugins the configuration started getting a bit convoluted/confusing. Hoping I have time some day/remember to figure out how to disable that annoying visual paste mode or whatever it is called that sometimes makes using it over SSH a nightmare.

As in a camera that catches people for speeding? Sounds like some bootlicker behavior if you ask me

Honestly, Google Keep notes. Trilium server runs as a UWA on Android but it’s pretty ass. And things like Obsidian are way too much for something me and my (non-technical) SO use to share notes

Did not expect the ethoslab shout out, I fell off a while back but I followed his videos pretty religiously for many years back in the 2010s; even when I was going through times where I burned myself out on playing MC.

Dude is super wholesome and I loved how his videos kinda just felt like hanging out with a friend. Ive checked on him since and I respect that he has not changed at all, love him dearly. But it just doesnt hit the same for me as it did back then. I hope he keeps doing what he loves as long as that’s still the case!

Steve is a great guy, super down-to-earth and just pleasant to follow in whatever he is doing.

I can see why they’d do it. Windows is a corporate product and MSFT wants everyone’s experience to be tailored to exactly how they think is best. Gives some Apple vibes.

I think at this point MSFT knows the average user is just gonna keep using Windows so they don’t really care about tailoring to individuals. I expect to see a lot more of this.

I’d say this is anecdotally false. I live in a rural area in the US and I just keep seeing more and more teslas popping up on the road. I wonder if they are showing up at more dealerships now where more consumers have the opportunity the make an uninformed purchase? Not sure.

I feel like anyone who has done surface level research on a tesla would avoid then. I haven’t even done that and I know just from seeing articles that I didn’t even seek out that they are pretty shitty cars, even if you ignore Elon’s existence.

The Exorcist (original) is one of the most boring horror movies I’ve ever personally sat through and I have no earthly idea why it caused such a stir at the time. Whole movie is a snooze fest until the last bit, but I found it less scary and more humorous.
