Several ”unprecedented” weather events every year now. I wonder why? It seems like a complete mystery.

So much winning people will be choking at the fumes of all the wins for decades to come!

He should probably read what the Stop Killing Games campaign is trying to establish before responding. But he probably "has people for that". And it shows.

He should probably concentrate making games people want to play instead. Ubisoft is down the drain.

The Stop Killing Games demands are not hard to meet, unless you’re a greedy little shitgoblin.

Right after this message from our sponsors!

Good old ”download equals a sale” rhetoric still doing a lot of work in these headlines. It’s been decades.

The current American culture is so bloody obnoxious and tiresome. My brain got exhausted just by reading the headline of the article. It didn't get any better from there.

This is terrible idea, people on the Internet are very stupid.

The goal of every society should be to free us from wage-labor to pursue other values beyond the bottom of Maslow's pyramid and generating even more wealth into pockets of 0.1%:ers. AI and automation should (in theory) free us to pursue research, art, improving life of others and other things that are actually valuable for the society and humankind.

Universal income is one of the solutions floated around this and it's been tested in some countries, but we're not quite there yet and in any case, most societies need to go through a transition periods where they switch from current free market capitalism to a system where only a minority has to do wage-labor.

In the meanwhile, most wealthy, civilized places have social security safetynets in place even today. These provide minimum income for those who can't participate in wage-labor for some reason (unemployment, disability etc). Minimum income through unemployment/social security benefits combined with free healthcare and education are essential building blocks, even in a society where majority or workforce is still trapped in menial wage-labor systems and this is really nothing new.

Of course the United States is one notable exception to all of this.

Surely endless exponential economic growth measured quarterly will be able to solve this? Many people say those CEOs are great guys! Much greatness

Brave has a good marketing team.

No I'm just replying to a guy saying silly stuff on the Internet

 

Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you're probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you're connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc). For now, if you need to be sure, either tether to Android - since the Android stack doesn't implement DHCP option 121 or run VPN in VM that isn't bridged.

My current Dell XPS 13 has been my trusty old companion for the past 4.5 years and I'm very happy with it.
Inevitably, the battery isn't what it used to be anymore - it won't reach full charge anymore and discharges in 2-3 hours of normal use (webrowsing, coding etc).

I could replace the battery, but at 4.5 years, I guess it's time for an upgrade.

My general requirements:

  • Good Linux support
  • Portable (13-14")
  • Great battery life
  • Good keyboard
  • A nice screen that doesn't have too much glare
  • At least 16Gb RAM / 1Tb SSD

This is my work machine so I'm not especially budget-sensitive.
Durable build would be awesome, I travel quite a lot and it gets banged around in my bag.
I work in cybersecurity and do coding, so it doesn't need "content creator" features. The less "bells and whistles", the better.
I'd love a microSD-card slot.
I think I'd melt of happiness if it also has a HDMI port.
I don't game on this machine (except chess.com, lol) , so don't really need gfx performance.
I don't need touchscreen or 2-in-1 functions.
Reasonable mic/cam - but I think that's pretty much given on a modern high-end laptop..

I'm thinking I'm probably going with new Dell XPS 13 or some ThinkPad variant, but I'd be happy to hear some suggestions and experiences (both good and bad) of recent purchases from the community.

Ps. Framework/System76 don't ship here. Unfortunately. I'm stuck with the big-corpo brands.
