The battery state should be controlled by the firmware, which is independent of the installed OS, so a calibration should not be needed

Mostly that they are generally made of cheap/very thin materials. They also kind of look like cheap Chromebooks (especially clevos, tongfang are better in this area). And it’s also the fact that these laptops aren’t really unique at all, they are mostly a logo swap with preselected components guaranteed to work with Linux. I’ve been using this Lenovo laptop that has a fantastic screen and an amazing CNC aluminum body, it works flawlessly and Linux support was never a consideration for them making this PC
If I am buying a laptop i want it to be unique, because if it’s not then I’ll just buy it straight from China on clevos website for half the price. What I don’t like is this is basically drop shipping but less consumer hostile
In over 3 years of daily flatpak use (of multiple apps) I’ve never had a single reliability issue with flatpak, the only ones being caused by me because I was trying out settings in flatseal that the app didn’t like. On the flip side I’ve found native packages to be broken more often than not, with .Deb files sometimes just not working and throwing an error or something. Package managers are better for sure but I’ve had dependency issues that I have never experienced with flatpak.
Lemmy (and phoronix) people are generally extremely repelled by new stuff in the Linux world
You can’t just make a statement like this without giving a hint of evidence or justification
In that case you should use user-install flatpaks and separating and reusing your /home partition
If they don’t use another shitty tongfang/clevo chassis this might be worth a buy
It’s an app store made for distributing Flatpak applications (desktop apps that work on every distro where Flatpak is installed, most distros install flatpak by default now). Flatpaks also allow isolation between apps and a fine permission system like you get on a smartphone (check out Flatseal for that)
Useless comment, it’s there now
You should not be using any kind of digital communication for criminal activities. OP, if your only goal is to prevent companies from scanning all of your personal life to show you tailored ads, then either is will be fine. I do prefer Proton though, as their products are more complete
Say what you want about pornhub and how they’re bad (and you’d likely be right), but I have to say, their public statistics are always super interesting (and well presented as well)
I don’t see how that addresses what I said in my comment?
I don’t get the rich getting richer in the title, how does owning a home (for the vast majority of people, on a mortgage) make someone rich? About 65% of the Canadian population are homeowners. 65% of the population owning 90% of the wealth isn’t that surprising or that wrong. What’s truly wrong is numbers like 1% of the population owning 30% of the total wealth in the US.
It’s always the homeowner boogeyman when in reality the problem comes from the government spending money wherever and not applying strict foreign home purchasing laws that keep increasing home prices. People who own one or two houses are not rich and are very unlikely to drive a Porsche, and even there, if it is an individual who owns that property, that person will have to pay their fair share of taxes on their income and property taxes.
Oh I see woopsies
He’ll still be 256 years old then
Biden for sure won’t get back in he’ll be like 260 years old at that point
I don’t have an answer, but still thanks for sharing this, I might listen to this at work tomorrow. I always like discovering new music and I get tired of my playlists real fast
Objectively the world is a much better place than it was even 30 years ago. Child mortality rate, global education, life expectancy, extreme poverty and many more are subjects that have seen drastic improvements and will continue to get better. The reality is, apart from a few cases, that the world is much better than it was and it will keep getting better. And unless a new world war comes in, nothing will stop this progress.
Yes, very tired of this and I’ve noticed the fediverse in particular is especially terrible at it. Mastodon or Lemmy, doesn’t matter, I see much less optimism and good news compared to twitter or hackernews. I don’t remember Reddit because it’s been a year since I deleted my account there.
I think I might start scaling back my fediverse usage a little because as much as everyone says I have to build my own feed, it doesn’t matter because there’s like 15 total users on here that keep postings the same bad news from the same 2 accounts that get related by the remaining 12 users. And if you mute the bad accounts then your feed is the void.
I can’t believe we are at a point where twitter which has an incentive to enrage their users and especially now that they encourage people to post engagement bait (by paying users), I see less bad news and negativity there than on here.
I noticed the fediverse tends to be extremely left-biased, with things like on mastodon you get blocked because you didn’t put a content warning on a post showing a recipe because someone could be offended by chopped apples or something like that. I think generally the way the left tends to work is by showing the evils of the right (and the right by outright lying of course) to push for change. This can work but the downside is that you just only see this shit all the time and it is very heavy to take in every day.
It honestly feels like the good news never get relayed on here, and when they do, they are rarely popular. France has put the right to abortion in their constitution, but on here everything we hear about is how one clinic refused an abortion some time 2 years ago for some reason and they are getting sued for it.
One other thing I just thought of, is that the somewhat positive news, are mostly about someone or something losing a case. Just now I saw an article posted about how a big Russian company is having trouble because of the war, and that’s considered good news. Even the positivity on here is based on negativity (or at the detriment of someone else). And to get the records straight, I think it is somewhat good that big companies are not doing so well, I just don’t give a shit and I would prefer to see what next technology will make my life easier or what law got passed that will make other people’s lives better.
I’ve found tuxedo to be quite expensive compared to their competition, namely Slimbook. Definitely look at their website, you will likely find the same computer over there as well since they are not custom designed laptops
