I mean, try to sell it for whatever you want to sell it for. I personally wouldn’t take it if you were giving it away.

It’s important context that it has an i3-2370M, a low-end CPU from 2012. On eBay I’m seeing an Dell laptop with an i5-4310U (a mid-range CPU from 2014) also with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD for $150. I could maybe see someone paying $100 for yours, but I doubt it.

similarly, for me:

my desktop was a bit buggy when I was doing bleeding-edge wayland/nvidia stuff on Arch. I switched to an AMD GPU, and haven’t had issues since. I’ve since distro-hopped to Nobara, then Bazzite, then NixOS, all with no issues.

My Framework 13 laptop was good on Manjaro with no bugs and now is good on NixOS.

My 2013 Macbook Air is also bug-free on NixOS.

He talks on his podcast all the time about being on Bluesky

I looked into doing this a bit ago. For me, the current solutions just aren’t good enough. Once Plasma Bigscreen and Waydroid Android TV are ready, then I think I’ll take the plunge. For now, my Nvidia Shield 2019 is hard to beat.

Yeah, it’s right next to the wall of e-commerce sites that give you a single checkbox for “send me order information and tracking updates along with occasional promos”

This is the first I’m hearing about it. I don’t know why anyone would be excited about this.

Ooo looks nice. This might make me want to try CLI mail again. I tried neomutt a long time ago and just couldn’t get it working right, but this looks a lot easier.

Yeah, unfortunately the display/esp32 can now only be purchased pre-flashed from specific retailers (for a significant markup) and the firmware is no longer published anywhere. The only way to update is OTA.

It’s all really shitty. Though, I’ll admit, I really didn’t have high hopes when I found out that they use discord for everything from troubleshooting to documentation to group buys.

I bought the parts to build mine a year ago and never got around to it. I’ll still build it, but it’s sad they are either ripping away all potential future support, are fracturing the community, or both

I love open source.

On a related note, open source projects that get big without a reliable leadership organizational structure risk burning down just as easily.

Recently nix, wordpress, and gaggiuino were affected by this kind of thing. Nix seems to be recovering. Wordpress doesn’t look good. Gaggiuino skipped right over source-available and went closed-source.

Linux is a success story with this structure, but I think we need to be better about building projects with stability in mind.

yeah, I’m in the last 1/3 of the game and it’s been really good. Getting used to the medieval script in dialogue bubbles took some time, but it’s definitely worth it.

Playing Pentiment right now

Oh man, I know what I’m reading tonight.

Haha thanks. It’s definitely a lot. It’s really sad that this kind of thing is what is necessary for smooth interoperability.

Since this change is entirely a result of the bad behavior of the maintainer and would not have happened otherwise, this a perfect example of why we fundamentally cannot separate the work from the people who make it.

Even if you do not agree with the social backlash this person is getting, that backlash has real effects on the work.

I, for one, no longer trust that hyprland will remain a well-maintained piece of software given that the maintainer would rather increase their maintenance burden and diverge from using common tools instead of cooperating with the community.
