Meaningful friction my beloved

I know the repos are solely managed by Ubuntu

That’s my main issue with it, it makes your system dependent on a platform solely owned and controlled by Cannonical

I check and lurk HN almost daily, what surprises me the most is how the AI discourse changed almost overnight. There must be an astroturfung campaign going on and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all LLM generated.

I left reddit about the time they introduced /r/popular and I recall the announcement mentioning that they would remove /r/all eventually. It’s been a long time, but this was coming.

Battery life is good, not 12 hours, but I would say closer to 8 to 10 depending on usage. Charge time is a bit long since the battery has a lot of capacity.

Everything worked on Debian out of the box, I’m, using GNOME and did not have to configure nor setup anything extra. Sleep works fine and I have setup the power button to that behaviour. Sometimes when the battery is too low (say about 10%), then it won’t wake up from sleep even tho that ought to be enough juice to keep the computer running for about an hour still, that might be a BIOS setting I haven’t bothered to look into.

sorry, I misread, I have StarLabs Lite, not the Horizon. But I am seriously considering upgrading to it

Linux support? amazing, been running Debian on it no problems, everything working out of the box. Customer support? no idea, I had no need to contact them

our company renamed out ML team into AI team, just to please investors, they been around for over a decade and never touched an LLM

I absolute despise when people dismiss some videogames as a boomer thing. Boomers did not play videogames (in general), as a matter of fact, most of them hated them.

Wasn’t there a guy at Google that claimed that they had a conscious AGI, and his proof was him asking the chatbot if it was conscious, and the answer was “yes”.

I find it so odd that they decided to make a sequel instead of a new IP, or at least to try to distance themselves from the original game as it was closely tied with Roiland.

I’ve been using it since it was called Revolt and quite like it, albeit I’ve never used the voice feature. My group doesn’t really have the need for it, but I can see it being a deal breaker for the self-hosted version.

At first I read about random crtis, as in random critical hits

I switched from gnome to niri and I really like the new workflow, however I’m having an issue in which some games won’t go full screen or won’t resize after changing the resolution. Sometimes rebooting my computer fixes the issue tho.

that was the whole idea behind Android Treble, but it didn’t get much support from manufacturers. Some of its features live on as SGSI (semi generic system image) which is not supported by many devices

I remember back in the day, not having a DVD reader capable of unscrambling Wii games, so I spent an entire day and a half ripping my collection using the very very slow Wii drive (4x speed I think)

I’m not that much into ricing, but I bet it must be possible, specially since GNOME is already OSX-like

edit: you just made me check their website and the new StarLabs Horizon looks so tempting!

Privacy-focused Macbook-like? -> Smartlab 🇬🇧

I think you meant StarLabs. I got one running Debian and I absolutely love it

early 40s and I don’t feel old at all. Yet my younger zoomer coworkers behave like life is over at 24-26. Last time I asked my parents (boomers), they told me they started feeling old in their early 30s. Might be a generational thing.
