I don’t know about Lenovo in general, but the two things I like about Thinkpads in particular and why I generally stick to them are their keyboards and the mouse nub / joystick thingy (trackpoint).
Their keyboards are still curved to give you proper tactile feedback of where your fingers are relative to the keys (unlike the abominable flat square keyboards on many/most other manufacturers), and the trackpoint is a great way to use a mouse-like pointer without moving your hands from home position on the keyboard. It looks like some current models are doing away with the trackpoint, which I think is a terrible mistake.
I’m not sure if any manufacturers still have either of these features or both on their current laptops, but they’re absolutely must have features for me.
Also, I usually buy used/refurbished Thinkpads cheap from ebay.
This happened last year and it was a 2018 CPU (APU?): AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE. It’s a low power 4 core hyperthreaded CPU/APU. Now searching the web for info I see that it was unsupported by Windows 11 from the time of release (2021) - see thread linked below. That means the CPU was a little over 3 years old at that time.
Some comments indicate that it may have been AMD’s own recommendation, but still. I was able to return the machine and got one that was compatible, but it was still an eye-opening experience that showed me that Windows was no longer like the old unrestricted Windows that would run on any PC hardware that could run any recent version of Windows, even if dog slow. Windows is now like MacOS with artificial hardware restrictions, so what’s the point of Windows anymore? I can have Linux for games and MacOS for any software I may need that’s not able to run on Linux.

I bought a used PC with a 6-year old CPU model only to find out that Windows 11 wouldn’t support it. That’s when I realized that the only advantage that Windows had over Macs in my opinion (aside from games) was gone.
I’m not very knowledgeable about or experienced with Linux yet, but from everything that I’ve read, I have the impression that Arch is the one that’s oriented to power users, not OpenSUSE. I’ve seen OpenSUSE suggested as one of the more beginner-friendly distros, apparently one of the, if not the most stable rolling release distros, and supposedly has one of the best KDE integrations. That’s the one I’m leaning towards adopting as my first Linux distro to really use seriously to replace Windows on desktop (as opposed to just playing around with it). I am also considering the other flavors of OpenSUSE besides Tumbleweed: Slowroll and Leap, in that order.
I agree with your feeling that going with one of the source distros that other distros use as a base is a better bet, and have seen some reviewers say as much. As far as I know, the big 4 in that regard are Arch, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. Most everything else is apparently either a derivative of one of those or a niche independent distro.
Added to my watchlist, thanks!
Absolutely! If you haven’t watched it yet, Dark Days is also harrowing, if not as much as The Act of Killing.
The WordPress company, as in the developers of WordPress itself.
Thanks for these. Will add them to my list.
I love documentaries. There are so many amazing ones and I regret that they don’t get as much attention as the biggest fiction films, even though I love those too.
Here are two documentaries that immediately spring to mind because they made a big impression on me:
This is almost like a real-world Chewbacca defense?
The irony of an EDM DJ hating on LGBTQ+ and POC. What the hell?
Awesome, thank you @ROllerozxa@sopuli.xyz for those details and @Ephera@lemmy.ml for the tag!
That’s fair. But what they’ve said so far seems to strongly point at this being the reason.
Think about it. Anything you type into a browser is your intellectual property, you own the copyright to it, unless you’re copying someone else’s text. In order for Mozilla to pass what you type on to any website you’re visiting, they need to “copy” that text (i.e., from the keyboard to the network).
I think this is what they’re trying to address with their legalese. It’s a pity that it has to come to this, but that’s how the legal environment is these days. They can’t afford to make expensive mistakes. Perhaps they can keep improving and clarifying the language though.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse:
The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[5][6]
You would have to look at those citations to see how authoritative they are. This may also still be open to interpretation?
The best I can think of off hand is to look at the mobile apps that are designed to interact with traditional forums, because they will have directories of all the ones that are integrated with them. For example, Tapatalk and Fora Communities. You should be able to find thousands of forums categorized in those apps? I’ve never used these apps myself, but have heard of them.
Thank you!
Oh, I was more thinking in the context of a centralized service, although technically it should be possible to do this in a federated manner too. I don’t think the resources would be an issue, but the liability of holding this data would be. I don’t know how that works on sites that currently do this though.
Or kick Canonical to the curb and use Incus instead: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/how-similar-is-incus-to-lxd/21430
