Firebird Suite? More like FIREbird…oh.

I mean, it is.

I don’t think that’s a standard inclusion, because it’s not there on my fairly standard Debian install.

I disagree. Being able to slap the windows key and type the name of the program I’m looking for is one of my favorite features of both Gnome and KDE and I wish Windows worked similarly.

That’s exactly my point though. If I’m supposed to vote for the lesser of two evils, shouldn’t I be applying that to the rest of my life?

Never heard of these guys, thanks for posting that. Their prices are a bit rough, but so are Framework’s these days. Do they offer board schematics like Framework does?

K, so then don’t buy a computer because no company is perfect.

Just some fools on lemmy crying about the fact that they gave the creator of Hyprland a laptop and a couple grand, which is apparently enough to make Framework about as evil as US Border Patrol.

So you’d rather buy a laptop from a vendor that gives price breaks to ICE, such as Dell and HP, or one indirectly owned by the CCP such as Lenovo? That’s certainly a choice.

Excellent choice. The Linux community doesn’t need people with this kind of mindset clogging up the support boards so it’s always lovely to see people like you doing your own gatekeeping.

No sir, it means you’re sane.

So they’re duplicating effort to give us a worse outcome? Jesus Christ, a third browser option can’t get here soon enough.

I feel like there was definitely a golden age for printers, because when I was a kid we had an Epson Stylus Color 800 that was literally Satan crammed into a shitty beige box, but my HP LaserJet from like 2012 is still going strong.

Nah, I’m gonna blame JPEG

I suspect that your visual objection may be similar to mine, but over the past several years of being subjected to electron trash, using apps written in Qt kind of reminds me now of a simpler time. Nostalgia is a powerful drug, isn’t it?

That all being said, I do find myself preferring the look of GTK apps lately, in spite of the rather controversial direction their design has taken.

Oh shit, I didn’t know that about Telo. That gives me a little more hope about it, though it still doesn’t have the same draw to me as the Slate does, Amazon involvement notwithstanding. Honestly, with how simple the Slate is, I’m curious how Amazon would even exert the same control over their vehicles as Tesla does (but not curious enough to want to find out, of course).

This is my hope. There are so many cross-platform GUI toolkits out there that are orders of magnitude more efficient than electron and nobody uses them. It’s not like GTK and Qt are difficult to learn. In fact, I find them easier to wrap my head around than a lot of the JS nonsense out there.

Yeah I just looked at prices for LTO drives and it made me wish optical was still a thing. $3500 for an LTO8 drive alone is more than the value of my entire homelab.

The Slate seems like it’s almost there, but the range still kinda sucks. Telo looks promising too, but it has the same vaporware scent about it as the Aptera so who knows if it’ll ever happen.

You absolutely can access it from outside your network if you configure it that way.
