Dumpdog
I find useful stuff at the dump and make long winded rants against consumer culture. Inspired by Pickle Rick and whatever I can scrounge.
Workflow is Linux + Lineage based on free hardware.
Quit buying shit from companies that destroy the earth in the name of making the already rich even richer.
Yes, the reality of the computer industry is that the industry changes. That has quite the dual meaning. I want it to mean it changes for the better…ahem…Open Source
If people want to use a working twenty year old device, it is completely reasonable to complain that Windows doesn’t allow that - because that is where Linux STANDS ON ITS OWN MERITS
Bicycles are one of the few things I spend money on these days, but I have been lucky to get quite a few for free. For some reason people discard a lot of bicycles at my local dump. I have found some real classics to refurbish. Some I keep and some I have redistributed to family and friends.
A Trump insider said Trump used to be VERY jealous of Bolsonaro’s crowds.
Trump had heard they had Brazillions out there to support him on election day.
Can’t upvote this enough. GE is a legend. A perfect example of build what you want and open it up to benefit a community! Thank you!
I never knew the scope of the errors in judgement that the navy chiefs have made lately.
POP is an excellent distro for a number of use cases. I can’t speak to System 76 hardware but Pop is definitely one of the good Distros. I have used it for about 5ish years to run Davinci Resolve on video editing laptops and workstations. Another use case for POP was for breaking Mac OS acclimated relatives out of their walled gardens. Relatives as old as 80 have had very little problem adjusting to it after having help installing it. Looking forward to Cosmic but I will make sure I have backups and other stuff to tinker with during the transition - was the same way during Wayland transition on my other machines.
Positives
- Davinci Resolve working with a little bit of fiddling and continues to run solidly.
- No hassle with Nvidia drivers on editing laptop.
- 4-5 years daily driver on Thinkpads (t460,13) and other older laptops (daily use)
- Gaming on Nvidia good.
- Elder folks adjust easily from Mac OS. Its basically Macbuntu for them without the complete pile of shit that is Snaps.
Negatives
- POP Shop was kinda shite. Had a few problems years ago. Wasn’t patient during upgrades or used terminal. A couple of shitty things happening recently but looking forward to testing out everything Cosmic (I have a rock solid edit station that will remain AMD on Endeavour OS to make sure I can still work).
- Name doesn’t bother me, but would be better as just POP OS
Save us 5 years. Just put the new ipad into e-waste collection now. Meanwhile, anyone want to use all the real tools designed specifically to make music? Any kid with half a brain will spend their $1000 musicmaking budget on something useful
Unless they build something that isn’t locked down and obsolete shit after 5 years, it is just as fucking useless as a 5 year old iPad.
Hey Apple, Great ad. It perfectly encapsulates what an iPad is…a shit product juiced from the tears of real creativity - A soul crushing, art destroying block of useless shit forged from real tools.
