wingsfortheirsmiles@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you ever drink "strategically"?English3·17 days agoI do, but the other way as I’m getting old and can’t down them like I used to. Met up with a mate to watch the F1 in the pub garden on a sunny Sunday, just had a couple of halves as I still wanted to try a number of new drops
Though I completely understand using alcohol to loosen up a bit, for numerous social situations. Definitely used it more that way in my younger days, to varying degrees of success

wingsfortheirsmiles@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the smallest laptop that runs Linux and is actually usable?English3·23 days agoThis isn’t the smallest you can go per se and isn’t a laptop but I’ve happily run PopOS on my Surface Pro 8 for over a year. You lose the front camera due to the proprietary blobs, and there’s some tweaking needed such as to get the keyboard working for LUKS decrypt but it’s pretty damn good for those tasks you mention. I read a lot of comics and RPG rule/corebooks and it’s perfect for that plus some light browsing and media consumption. Biggest downsides are the battery life which isn’t great compared to on Windows (around 5hrs or so, up to 7 with light usage) but that’s Linux for you, and ofc it’s more awkward to balance the folio keyboard on your lap. But for all that, it’s pretty convenient to take around plus you get the benefit of that bright, Surface Pro display

Never heard that about deathcore, fascinating. I was going to say bands like Panopticon or WitTR are some of the few exceptions from this list
