X1 for ultra portability.

Otherwise, T14 or T15.

Step 1. Don’t.

Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.

Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text… you get the path to the file as text.

I see one sponsor link, no other ads.

Choose your browser extensions, choose your browsing experience.

And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?

It’s not propaganda when it’s true.

And SLS is hideously expensive compared to every other launch vehicle in history.

Brave essentially has done this all along.

I am Spez’s raging bile duct.

I do exactly this with a SteamDeck and USB-C docking station… with the added bonus that I can pull it out of the dock and take it with me to use as a hand-held when I travel.

New computers are the ones more likely to fail.

You are unlikely to find a new non-smart TV… the TV manufacturers get kickbacks from the streaming services for bundling their apps.

If you did find one, it would be more expensive than the dumb TV because you don’t have a bunch of streaming services subsidizing the price of the TV for you.

A computer monitor may work for you, or just buy a smart TV and never connect it to a network. You should be able to set it to automatically start up on the last-used input so you never see the built-in UI.

I use traditional packages and Flatpaks… with “user apps” being preferred as Flatpak. This is potentially safer as the OS itself can’t be affected by installing or removing these applications, and also can mitigate dependency hell as apps that require different versions of the same dependency can coexist peacefully, with each one using its own bundled version of that dependency.

I also have a couple of appimages that aren’t available as a Flatpack, and I’ll simply find an alternative to anything that is only distributed as a Snap due to the performance issues, mount clutter, and proprietary nature of the Snap distribution back-end.

An abusive culture doesn’t make abuse acceptable. I’m happy to hear you got out.

I do read books for professional development, but while I’m sitting in my office during project lulls. I even keep them on my bookshelves, with The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck prominently displayed where I can point to it when I need to make a statement.

The Accidental Superpower by Peter Zeihan is an amazingly informative and entertainingly written examination of how and why the US got to where it is without even really trying. This and his later books also discuss the rise and now beginning decline of globalization in a destabilizing world.

The guy (and his research team) has a pretty good track record of predicting geopolitical trends and even specific events that are coming 5 or 10 years down the road. I don’t necessarily agree with or accept all of his ideas and analysis, but he definitely makes you think.

There’s no way to read them on company time so I typically read them after work or on weekends don’t read them.

Company tasking happens on company time.

Don’t simply accept abuse.

You were using a niche distro maintained by a single person and encountered problems? Shocking.

To be fair, I used Nobara myself for a bit until I got tired of suffering from the problems GE was creating himself. But regardless, experience on something like Nobara is not a fair way to evaluate Gnome. Try it on actual Fedora or something else mainstream that isn’t constantly fuckering around with all kinds of shit and breaking stuff.

Who could have possibly predicted that?

Apparently I either already did this so many years ago that I don’t remember doing it, or my account is so old (2006) that it predates these settings being added and they defaulted to “off” when added to existing accounts.

I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite

That’s not a hurdle… that’s a wall.

If your livelihood depends on running a Windows-only application, run it on a Windows computer.

You are, of course, free to also have a Linux computer for everything else. Use a KVM switch to toggle between them, or something like Synergy or Barrier to pass the mouse/keyboard/clipboard between both PCS. Share the storage between them over your network.
