Framework laptops are undeniably expensive. I say that as a happy owner of both the 13 and the 16. The value is not the appeal. To be honest, I don't even expect it to "pay for itself due to upgradability and repairability" like many people say.

More availability of refurbished mainboards should help over time, I guess.

I just say "salud." I'm far from a fluent Spanish speaker, but I like it better. It's the same as "gesundheit" but easier to say.

It's as if I'm being gaslit into thinking I don't know what the word means!

I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.

It is.

The people in charge of maintaining Mastodon in particular though need to establish some kind of legal entity and that needs legal recognition somewhere.

As long as there are people who want to make games there will be indy game development going on.

China makes those, too.

A dongle is a solution to the problem "I want to use my headphones with a device with only a USB-C port."

I really like my Bolt, it perfectly suits my needs and I love driving it. I think the biggest compromise that makes it unattractive for long distance travel is the relatively slow charging speed. I very rarely do that, however, and if I did I might rent a different vehicle.

People always say this, but the execs and board members making obscene money for doing as little a possible is the whole point of the endeavor.

I think the sign in the photo still makes sense if you interpret it as "Don't park here unless you're using the Tesla charging station."

Tunic, maybe?
