ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn’t have a thinklight

thinkpad wins

i just run normal stuff like immich and a dns server and use it as a headless server, though I do have a backup terminal on the touchscreen in case I need it (fbkeyboard).

I don’t think it has any real benefits except the touchscreen, very low power consumption and the built-in battery, I just use it because it’s free and interesting.

I guess compared to other devices like the rpi it has pretty good performance and resources, though one big drawback is that I have to use wifi for networking.

It’s just the use I found for my old phone that was sitting in the cupboard doing nothing.

i think this is all about configuring the lsp server (e.g. clangd in the case of c), pretty sure you can get it working with kate

i use my old postmarketos phone as a server for a bunch of stuff on my local network because it can run docker and is really power efficient

does postmarkeos count?

encryption is a thing?

barren land requires infrastructure to be built and maintained too.

hsr is not cheap. you can look up the fares online

you can try it now if you want and it does work surprisingly well, but their timeline is still “alpha in 2026”

that is actually really goofy, didn’t know about that

having to carry a battery that I need to have plugged into my heart for it to work is literally nightmare fuel for me though, there’s so many ways I could imagine myself unplugging it accidentally, breaking the battery or breaking the cable

nah the old x series (e.g. x61, x201) were good, they’re basically just a t series with a smaller display and no disk drive

i don’t worry about scratching them because they already came scratched used

the x131e is definitely not professional grade

try searching up what SGX is

let me provide you an analogy to what you’re saying.

“The US appeals to right wing philosophies so the left doesn’t need to be accepted”

what do you think?

The impression that I got from Andreas was that he just didn’t want the repo being flooded by politics because it ultimately is cruft in that doesn’t advance the project technically.

He obviously didn’t foresee the harm it would cause to the project by controversy and boycotts, how do you think he would’ve acted if he had?

I think we’re all generally left leaning as people on fedi and tend to get in our echo chambers and think that we’re closer to the global centre of political spectrums than we actually are, but I think it’s important to understand where the majority of people stand so we don’t get out of touch.

You have to remember that over half the voters of the US election voted for Trump. It is true that they’re American, but I think we should be trying to understand why they did so rather than screaming at their face every time they deviate from our views of the ideal.

Also, can we stop disparaging the opposition with names? From my point of view the left seemingly calling every Republican a “Nazi” sounds just as stupid as the right calling everyone on the left “woke”, and I think this applies to anyone outside this bubble of politics. My belief is that we should be organically introducing that meaning to the name “republican”, rather than diluting a historical term.
