Bonus will come in soon and its time for a new laptop. Had my xps13 since ~2016 and I absolutely loved it - the keyboard is amaaazing.. But the display is broken and as its a touch, its ridiculously expensive to replace so that's not an option..

Want to keep it around 1k$ and mostly care about the keyboard being nice, robust case (not plastic), size (no bigger than 13") and storage (at least 1TB SSD).
Ideally it would have an integrated SD slot and at least 1 USB-A...

Any suggestions? I'm gonna put Linux on it anyway so performance just has to be medium.

Thinking about getting another xps but they got a good bit more expensive and I know there's other devices our there nowadays that check the boxes, like thinkpad for example.

Just looking for some opinions, advice and suggestions.

Thanks in advance

I could go programming drones to kill my own people for money, like at least then I'd have a connection to my job

also programming drones sounds kind of fun

I used to really like pvp games. I also love unconventional RTS games. who wouldn't wanna make a real-world pvp RTS game interface, or automate an army of autonomous drones that could act on their own like it's a game of screeps

literally just so fun

if I was @ostream and an accelerationist...

either case if I go work somewhere and build them something great I have weird confusing PTSD emotions about it. to be honest making war machines somehow makes me less anxious about the idea. isn't it strange. I can't figure it out

you help people but they fuck you. at least if you're fucking people you'd accept being fucked in the process so you don't end up feeling anxious? I don't know why I feel like I do

you'd expect if you help people they would help you back. then when they don't it ruins everything, it ruins your core. you also can't know if who you are committing to will help you back or not. so you can only lose. if you help you'll get fucked. so why help?

in which case just doing something you love like optimizing pwn machines is what I'm built for. is that all I got? how does that make sense? it just doesn't to me. you'd think it would be clear but something is fighting

I prefer VSCode over visual studio for a ton of tiny conveniences. Some git operations can really only be done conveniently by switching rapidly between the command line and the big scrollable list of diffs. The currently open file is automatically focused in the tree, not by explicit user command. Ctrl+Tab shows the last viewed section of files and not their name, so I can find an arbitrary point in my jump chain. If I open the diff for a newly added file it's possible that I want to edit the file, but it's also possible that I didn't notice that it's newly added. Painting the whole background green doesn't hinder the first scenario nearly as much as it solves the second, in contrast to VS not showing any changes, which just has me confused because of the total lack of modification marks.

Guys it have been a close call, but I would like to nominate @Tounai and @12bitfloat to be the retards of the day. Vote between the finalist by sending their name by SMS to 55544. 5USD / 5EUR per SMS.

Just a reminder. Never forget. We know the truth

How often do you ask questions the answers to which you don’t truly care about?

Anyway we should hang that netanyahu cunt like they did with saddam. Newremberg is coming

I just installed a new CMS plugin and followed the link "this plugin needs to be configured". On the top of the page, a notifications asks for a recommendation: "do you find this plugin useful? please support our work and leave us a reply!"

Wouldn't you mind letting me actually use it first?

No matter what you believe or what you don't believe in. Or what you look like, I hope my you all are doing well financially.

Financial stability and financial freedom are the corner stone of all freedoms.

Wish you health, wealth and happiness.

The very fact that some people believe in ChatGPT is a joke lmao

Magical programs that talks, yeah sure.

ChatGPT is nothing but a bunch of kenyan slaves in a sweatshop.

I‘m curious what you guys think about puzzle games with timers.

I personally hate it to be pressured by the timer. And I hate it when the puzzle resets and I need to start from scratch because I ran out of time.
I prefer to take my time and think about the next move rather than rapid fire my moves by intuition and hoping to get lucky.

Yet so many puzzle games have timers. Is this just lazy design? Do you like timers? What do you think about this?

VSCode is not working. I hate this crap more and more each day.
Its intrusive, messed with file permission, does whatever it wants, spawns lots of clashing processes, takes endless for linting/highlighting/running lots of bs trojan processes in the background and effectively blocking you from being productive more and more.

It's dangerous to my computer and my health!!

Just spent 2 hours updating both macs to sequoia, iphone and ipad to latest ios just to find out mirroring doesn't work in the EU

FUCK THE EU and their motherfucking stupid ass useless laws

FUCK APPLE and their money-grabbing policies

FUCKING FUCK

I am sooooo fucking tired of all this bullshit

Most deadlines we get are unrealistic... but not in the sense you think. I get to do a task and you can bet that the deadline they tell me at that point is not gonna be the real deadline because they will keep pushing it into the future. Happens in projects with many stakeholders...

I was giving a conference in a local College, and god I saw that the tech literacy of those kids was ... None. It's abnormal how basic things like powering up a computer, differentiating monitors from towers, and that kind of stuff was so low !

TODAY! Today in a fit of rage over my neighbor's construction I've super glued their door. I mean, they're basically making me wake up at 1am to work cuz I've a dislocated nerve on my ear and the noises literally turn to pain. So yeah, by 3am I thought, wtv, right? An eye for an eye and shit, so I glued that door shut.

Eagerly awaiting to hear that motherfucker's doorframe cracking. 8am can't come soon enough
