I like how this is basically just a love letter to Linux and one of the best "advertisements" for people out there who are still stuck on Windows and closed-source software.
My sister gifted me the third book of a fantasy trilogy series once.
I never read or got the first two books.
Also, when I was little, my grandma (who hated me with passion) bought me a pink bike just to piss me off, because she thought a boy wouldn't ever like that color. I rode that bike until I was too tall to use it and every time she saw me enjoying that thing she was furious. :)
The thing that made me really mad is that Sony released the PSVR2, but removed support for playing 3D BluRay's from the PS5. The higher resolution would've been so amazing, but the PS4 is the last model that can do it.
Whyyyy?
I have an L390 Yoga (i7) and these feet are indeed way too large.
The device is painful to use even with the correct feet, though - at least if you're using Windows. It's constantly overheating, because the cooling system is just reused from the L380 and can't handle the heat of my i7 8565U processor. But hey - at least the marketing people were able to put "4.6GHz" into the specs.
I have to undervolt the CPU to make it run cool and prevent thermal throttling, which is not possible anymore if you're running a current Windows version.
That thing is probably the last Thinkpad I've ever bought, to be honest.
Also, if you’re wondering what that port with network symbol is, it appears to be a proprietary connector used on ThinkPads requiring an “Ethernet Extension” adapter to be usable.
Yup, the port is called "MicroLAN" and the adapter was 30-50€ back when the device was new. It's of poor quality (the rubber of the cable on mine is turning into a sticky mess) and entirely passive.
Lenovo must've looked at Apple's accessory profits and thought they wanted to make money off of crap, too.
Sehr gut.
I like movies and I like the atmosphere at my local cinema. I'm going there almost every week. Most of the time I bring my own snacks. I think they just ignore me because I'm like...their best customer, lol. :D
I do order a drink every time. But eating popcorn or nachos every week sounds like a nightmare, and that's all they have there.
When I was in my 20's, I always gave 200% at the jobs I worked at. I was young and naive and believed I would eventually be rewarded for all the hard work I put in, even on weekends and night shifts.
Then I got burnout, because I was working at a pace my body just couldn't sustain anymore.
It changed my life drastically. I learned to value my health and free time and to prioritize that over the needs of my employer. I learned that hard work doesn't neccessarily bring you any benefits, it mostly benefits your employer. I also learned that nobody cares when your health is fucked up - for your employer, you're just a cog in the machine that can be replaced.
Nowadays I only work four days a week and I don't give a shit about what happens on Fridays anymore. Server is down? Not my problem, get someone else to fix it.
I also learned to stand up for myself. I'm not getting paid like a monkey anymore and if you promise me a raise and then pretend like that never happened afterwards, you'll have my resignation on your desk, printed out by the company printer right in front of you.
There is a curated list of "no-bullshit" mobile games, without microtransactions and all of that horrible stuff: https://nobsgames.stavros.io/
My favorites so far:
And this point is more hardware-related, but I've started to really love my Nothing Phone and its LED lights on the back, which produces amazing photos because the light is much softer than the small flash used by other phones. There isn't a single Apple device with a feature like this. You could probably get a case, but it's nice to have this integrated into the phone.
I met a girl in art school and lost track of her for a few years. During the pandemic we found each other again. He was trans now, identified as a male and had massive anxiety and body-image related problems.
It was so bad, that he stayed at home for weeks, only ordered food and basic needs online and got an instant panic attack when leaving the house.
I dragged him out to various events and spent time with him as much as possible for almost two years. It helped him get back on his feet.
As soon as he was able to handle his life without my help again and met another guy, he ghosted me.
That hurt a lot, but I would do it again. I still remember visiting him one day and he just started cutting into his arm in front of me because of his mental issues, it was really brutal. I would've felt like an absolute asshole if I left right then and there, even if the outcome wasn't positive for me in the end.
I hope he's doing well now and maybe one day realizes that he shouldn't have treated me the way he did. I don't want gratitude, but an apology would be nice.
This made me laugh so hard. I was also born on the 11th. 🤣
2001 sure was a weird birthday.
Don't need Windows anymore, thanks to Proton. Bless Lord Gaben.
