Since the light actually passes through the glasses and just gets refracted, there’s no screen in front of your eyes. It’s like looking through water, a window or anything else translucent/transparent.

Tungsten. It’s just so cool that it’s so dense and has such a high melting point. It’s also really hard and tough.

Edit: also dragonflies are pretty badass

No shit

I switch between New, Hot and Top 6hrs/Day

I would say: “Don’t switch to Linux. Just start with Linux and never use Windows or Mac in the first place”

Don’t have to get used to something if you’ve never used something else.

Pine64 makes a security camera for use with a (included?) Raspberry Pi, iirc

When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons.

Definitely. I got a T470s that had barely been used for business purposes on eBay for 100€. It’s a great machine. Lots of I/O, great IPS touchscreen, great backlit keyboard, great trackpad, great build quality, awesome form factor, good battery life (about 6-8 hours). If you need a cheap laptop, get a used ThinkPad. They’re the best bang for the buck imo

The bootloader is open so you could throw Fairphone’s Android on there no problem. I think they provide the files for that (didn’t check so don’t know for sure)

Do you mean —? That’s Alt + Minus

Sorry but a word processor that doesn’t trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

I only need one… is that allowed?

I came here to say that opossum is spelt with an o. I was wrong, it’s optional

I do use the SimpleLogin aliases, it’s one of my favorite services they offer. Most of my web storage (which I barely use anyway) and calendar and stuff is all Nextcloud
