When we were purchasing new dell laptops for work a 2 years ago, the change to lpddr was an oversight and we bought models with 8gb of ram. Since these are effectively not upgradeable for us, they’re going to age out sooner than they should. We were not very happy…

Luckily we caught this fairly quickly at least, and it only represents a few percent of our total inventory. I hate this anti consumer design.

Qbittorrent let’s you dynamically rename and move stuff based to tags. Status, and other stuff. You could get really in depth with the scripting too.

“arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society.”

Ahh yes, the injustice of the millennium. Abusive, asshole men can’t keep their wives against their will…

Hello! I lurk too much, but I’ll echo t3rmit3. This is a nice, quieter space. I check Beehaw daily but I don’t find myself doomscrolling like I used to on reddit. It’s just nice to pop in once a while, check if there’s anything new, and get on with life.

That said, I should start posting some of my own findings!

Most phoronix articles are pretty much straight to the point actually. I haven’t regularly visited them in a while but they were a good source for open source news, and might still be.

For everyone’s sake it might be best to refuse to support the application because of the security risks with such an outdated program.

I’m about the same. Last switch was yahoo to Gmail and now I’m in the process of switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. The most difficult part was the mental switch - which email you start giving out when you sign up. Second was migrating services. I made it a point for a while each time I logged into something knew I would switch the primary email. Its been a long process!

If you haven’t checked out Pop!_OS I’d recommend giving it a try. While I’m using a system76 laptop so they guarantee hardware compatibility, it’s been one of the smoothest and most functional DE/guis I’ve used. Ive never had to resort to a command line* and aaalllmost everything you’d expect to find exists in the gui.

*caveat. Except for some really esoteric problems, which are usually a result of my own tinerking

I’m not totally sure, but i think bookshop does profit sharing regardless if the indie bookstore you designate is actually the seller/shipper. I subscribe to Libro.fm (a drm free audible alternative), and they do the same thing. I can designate an indie store and Libro splits a percentage of the profits with them.

I am familiar! (as an owner of too many boardgames) I think this could work for a lot of things!

Thiftbooks is my goto for used but I’ve always used Abe as a backup. For new I use bookshop.org. So disappointing. I will check out alibris. I know the name, but have never used the service.

Not AbeBooks!?! 😲😭

I really like this, and I will probably use it, but I hate clickbate thumbnails with a passion and avoid them as much as I can.
