Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.

But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn't going to go under anytime soon.

I'm debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?

I really, really don't like the "games as a service" thing Microsoft is trying to shove into the industry. Just watch, it will pan out exactly like the streaming services. Once the golden years (equivalent of OG Netflix) of "burn money by throwing in more games than we can afford" are over, we will gradually see fragmentation, price hikes, cost-cutting, etc.

Fuck Microsoft.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but whatever.

That officers velumtuous ass is positioned almost perfectly as a focal point.

Golden retrievers: the goodest of boys.

True story, every time I see a golden retriever when driving (by myself), I say "WHAT A GOOD BOY" out loud habitually. Only goldens, and sometimes labs if they look extra behaved.

Maybe that's cringe to some, but I adore these dogs.

So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.

 

Looking for a new printer. My new HP Inkjet is a piece of fucking garbage and I'm going to smash it to pieces in my driveway.

Looking for something with good Linux support, and as little proprietary online HP-type bullshit as possible. Also, should I get a laser printer?

"Intellectual pedigree" is the most pretentious things I've heard in a while ...

We had an HP Inkjet printer for over 5 years, one of the older ones. Ink was expensive, but tbh everything else worked great.

Then we got our new HP Inkjet. Genuinely the worst machine I have ever owned. I can't fucking scan anything without an HP account, and even then it hardly works. I'm going to buy a Brother laser printer soon, as soon as I bring it home that HP printer is going to be smashed to bits in my driveway.

This is good news. I want to use this post to shout out Heroic launcher.

A small team of devs (GitHub says 150 contributors, but likely only a small percentage of that consistently works on it), made a free, open-source launcher that is VASTLY better than Epic's piece of shit.

I mean, for real, this multi-billion dollar company can't even properly make a basic-ass piece of software. For over three years it has been a laggy mess that bombards the bottom right of my screen with ads. No significant changes or updates that have made the launcher more usable. I deadass pirate the games epic has given me for free so I don't have to deal with their launcher.

Yes good point, I forgot about that.

 

I'll put the exact files in GitHub later. I use Kitty with the Gruvbox theme and some custom fonts, lots of bold. Kitty is awesome cause it comes with a TON of theme pre-loaded.

What are you guys using?
