Glad I found this comment. It was my first thought when seeing the headline: haven’t they already been doing that for decades?

My even older laptop ran like this for many years and the battery never swelled. It couldn’t hold a proper charge, but I always saw it as cheap surge and microblackout protection.

Thanks (subscribed).

Because this is c/fediverse? Because OP tagged their post #federated?

I’m a bit unclear about how this federates. Shouldn’t there be a c/unfinishedprojects?

It’s great to see such an article in The Verge, of course. Unreservedly.

But such articles are legion, and Thinkpads are (almost) always good with Linux. But you can install it on almost any laptop out there.

that seems something more valuable that (than?) energy spent

Considering how much energy that used, we’re going to have to disagree there.

Need for perpetual connectivity is bad, but companies have to make money and control their product, AI is solving that.

You really lost me there. Good Bye.

It’s about the EU’s fear of falling back in tech. Which I think is a dumb narrative.

And who pushes the hype that says AI is a must? Who profits the most? Certainly not the EU.

I see two factors here: a) the same “trends” that are happening in the US are happening here too, if to a lesser extent, and b) they’ve been riding the “USA our friend and partner” train for so long, they don’t know how to get off.

US American servers.

Same same on both aspects.

Plus, I think I have a crush on Meredith.

They are definitely milking it.

Does LO even have a web server version?

Google/Alphabet continuously suppresses internal warnings, manipulates advocacy organizations, kills safety features, and auto-deletes internal communications

Just par for the course for one of its subsections.

People call it a duopoly but I really think it has been a monopoly for a while, esp. outside the US. This company needs to be broken up. And corporations in general need to be regulated more/better.

Both are still good and at least openbox has a wayland equivalent these days, labwc.

Huh. I hate it when people do that. Fake/professional empathy/support. Yet others gobble it up when a machine does that.

The term FUD has been around longer & broader than that. But thanks for the explanation.

Thanks, you saved me a click 😐

Worse actually; in addition to the DDOS the person who runs this archive site also manipulated archived pages. All because they have a hate boner for some blogger.
