Save it for April 1.

MVP. I should have read this before, and someone else supplied the link. But the susinct version has been much better.

Its hard to download because its just an AI slop project.

/s… mostly

Is it

upower -d (not b?) 

And what am I looking for in the output?

Thanks for the modle tips. It’s hard to know what is “value” when in a another country and converting the currency etc.

Good tips. I assumed that almost anything would be better than my current old laptop.

Is there anyway to check battery life when looking at a 2nd hand one if not in store?

I know my laptop lists hours, but dies after about 25mins.

What models?

So if the poster dosent list or know the internal components (besides like ram or HDD) there’s no way to tell if one T490 is internally the same as another T490

This is very helpful. Thanks. Do the numbers like 480 mean anything?

Yeah. Searching every model number is what what I was trying to avoid.

Beacuse the first folder in the git is “.claude/skills/spec”.

Does this work for messenger in a shelter work profile?

So capitalism?

I want all news to be like this.

Depression sucks bro and its hard to see the light from the tunnel.

I am seeing wildy successful posts of thirty hand drawn signs and “AI free” art. It could be your new selling point.

While you might not see people being openly anti AI in your community they might not be as brave as you to speak out.

If you need to also seek support, the brain is like any body part that can be hurt and need professional care.

Don’t lose hope man.

PS do you have a link to your music, people here would love it I’m sure.

Yeah. I knew somone would say that. I feel Mint is its own thing though and main stream enough. I meant more the distros that have a webite, and then other flavours or spins on that distro.

I do want to try Debian at some stage but it just feels about old out of the box.

Ubuntu has ads in the OS, mint dosnt.

Installed mint on my parents laptops so they didn’t become e-waste when Win11 came out. They have no issues.

Being new(ish) to Linux since that time and I found that the main distortion are better than their sub “flavours”. For me anyway. I didn’t like Mint LMDE or Kubuntu etc.

A better question is how many are really out there at the moment.

Early 2000s there was so many for any model phone. Now it feels like those are mostly gone and there’s only 5-6 left.

Understood. Investing funds in AI and fossil fuels. Letbl me know if I got anything wrong.

Reading the comments makes me wonder why BIOS passwords were even invented.

Sounds like everyone is saying its a waste of time and to never use it if the biis supports it.

I’m in the same boat now but I also transitioned off slowly. I was saying that it’s not always possible for everyone in every situation.

One that comes to mind is being told to use it for work and posting in your lunch break to see what the options exist before immediately quitting on the spot.

FOSS options do exist for many services, and that’s all OP was looking for. I don’t see the point in telling them to never seek out the unofficial version of a service.
