🤝 I download new music to check if I like it, and if I do then go over to Qobuz and buy it DRM-free and download the flac file, which is my flac file. Happy to support the musicians.

There are around 20000 stars in that little 200-light-year-wide dot.

Interesting idea… But oh man, that article is really poorly written!

And Qobuz does as well.

And what happens with it also depends on how people, including software developers, react to it.

A reminder also to boycott, as much as possible, those thirteen major publishers – most or all of which are stealing from academia:

APRESS MEDIA, LLC; CENGAGE LEARNING, INC.; ELSEVIER INC.; HACHETTE BOOK GROUP, INC.; HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS LLC; JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC.; MCGRAW HILL LLC; BEDFORD, FREEMAN & WORTH PUBLISHING GROUP, LLC D/B/A MACMILLAN LEARNING; MACMILLAN PUBLISHING GROUP, LLC; PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.; PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE LLC; SIMON AND SCHUSTER, LLC; AND TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP LLC

How some Linux developers defeated (for now) the new OS age-verification laws. Long live those Linux developers, who “heavily criticized the mandates”, made public statements, and contacted the legislators.

Because other Linux developers, instead, immediately bent over backwards to start implementing changes towards accommodating those laws; for sure they didn’t heavily criticize the mandates, nor make public statements, nor contact the legislators.

…that the EU will impose age verification…

Translate: …that the EU oligarchs will impose age verification…

Nobody knows whether the majority of EU citizens really want something so invasive. No referendum has ever been made. A fact that flies in the face of democracy.

Dick-wagging to a tiny choir is still better than head-bowing in front of a large crowd.

Just inquired, apparently they don’t ship to my country :(

This looked really cool and more or less what I’m looking for. But it seems the Z series has been discontinued? Maybe they joined it with the T series.

One problem in the Lenovo website is that you can’t filter laptops by pen-capability. They have a “touch” search filter, but that isn’t the same.

Thank you so much for the great tip and useful info!

Super, thank you so much! Looks like a great device.

Very neat, I had never heard of this company! I see that they ship it with Windows. Have you tried some Linux distro on it?

Can you try the icanhazpdf hashtag on Mastodon? https://c.im/tags/icanhazpdf

X1 Carbons of several generations have been notorious for their Thunderbolt defects, which appear after a while. For instance this or this (sorry for the Reddit links), and there are others related to connecting to screens. Right these days I’m dealing with the Thunderbolt-charging defect in my Gen 9. Luckily still under warranty.

Best of luck with your problem! I suggest you use your warranty if still active (and better with on-site assistance than sending the thing).

[also @sainth@lemmy.world] Overall I agree with you, drivers are generally well-usable even if not OEM, which is fantastic. But yes I do notice small glitches that OEM drivers do solve, an example is trackpoint vs touchpad interference.

Actually I must try to install by hand the old OEM driver (for Ubuntu 20.04) in the new 24.05, and see if it works. I hope I won’t break anything…

Cool! I missed this one, thank you! I can wait. Unfortunately Framework don’t ship to my country, but I could make a trip to a neighbouring one where friends live :)
