Fedora also does iirc? I remember seeing “firmware update” on gnome software

Appimage opens the way for downloading random bullshit from the internet windows style and I think it is harmful for the future of Linux.

Nobody who thinks appimages are a good idea will use the automatic updater thingies. Just look at the number of windows users who never update their apps and do a surprised pikachu face when they get hacked. There are also tools for autoupdating windows apps but nobody except Linux users (who are aware of the importance of updates) use it.

On windows, there is no such thing as abandonware because it is just called regular software. Old and broken programs never stop “working” as far as the user is concerned and then they blow up in their ass when the time comes. On Linux, there is no abandonware because you NEED to update everything if you wanna keep your system working.

Idk appimages give me an ick.

Yikes. I don’t play many online games so I am not very knowledgeable on the situation over there. I just used online-fix a few times and it was so horrible I had to buy my second piece of paid software.

I wonder if it’s vibe coded or properly built, from what I’ve seen they generally don’t use their own slop machines

or, you can just pirate and never give money to the antichrist

Lots of people recommended Zojirushi in this thread. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks

incredibly inconvenient

Imagine sitting in the corner near the plug with your weird resistive heater waiting for the water to get hot. You’d probably become the laughing stock of the whole campus pretty quickly

Also, things get pretty heavy when you have a 4 hour daily railway commute. There has been times when I didn’t take a bottle of water because it hurt my back

So I’ll just stick to carrying grounds and buying hot water. It costs practically nothing compared to my current habit of buying coffee which is a huge hole in my budget

It is pretty commonplace to sell hot water in my country?

Because bringing a heater with you is hard, the places which sell tea will also fill up your cup with hot water. For a fair price usually +5TL (~0.1 cent) more compared to bottled water of the same amount.

I can bring a heater and spend my university’s electricity for it but why would I so that when hot water is already very cheap.

edit: I just remembered my school’s water dispensers have a hot water tap. Students drain those very quickly though so I gotta go there right after my lecture ends

Well the body of the thermos does not radiate any heat.

It is the section near the cap. That section is just single layer metal which leaks a shit load of heat

I don’t, but I am pretty sure it doesn’t get cooled down by the inner walls as it stays too hot to drink for at least an hour.

Will check out your recommendation.

Yeah they do sell hot water.

Currently planning to pack a french press. We’ll see how it goes, but I still want the thermos.

Since I use Hoffman’s french press technique the only thing I do is to dump coffee in water and wait anyways. So I might cut the filter from a french press and put it inside a thermos. I could then get it set up at home and just add water™

Yeah probably. It’ll all get stale and burnt ig. Didn’t think about that much

Coffee outside is expensive and pretty bad though. I need to carry my own coffee to school but no idea on how to do it.

Drinking it at home is not very viable since I already wake up at 6am and don’t wanna add another 30 minutes to my morning routine

No way you haven’t seen that legendary video

As I said in my other comment, contrib. over github is already not accepted. And yes these are humans not bots. Pull requests were already filled with bizarre stuff for years before this started

It’s just some silly fun.

Linux kernel does not accept contributions from github so this repo was always like that

The only new thing here is this

Device is set to power saver in this picture but I must say power saver doesn’t seem to be doing much. I don’t notice a reduction in performance nor see a improvement in battery life.

I just leave that on power saver if I am not doing anything resource hungry. Possibly out of habit

I am daily driving a Surface Pro 9

Drivers are okay. I had some problems with screen freezing but these were fixed easily with some kernel params.

With a full battery, I get 6 hours coding in C with VSCode and some browser tabs or 5 hours of YouTube playback. You’ll get about 8-9 hours if you are doing something like writing text

Gnome is fantastic for this form factor. Especially libadwaita stuff, as their HIG plays very nice with touchscreens.

A powerbank will give you practically infinite battery for a whole day. I love this machine so much…

It also kind of takes its roots from my frustration with garbage in my home or leftover bullshit in my root

It’s not viable to ditch native packages 100% (like immutable distros). But a combination of two is pretty comfortable imo

But as I said, I am not comfortable with the way flatpak does some things

Small SSD + compression is faster than HDD with no compression ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Plus I’ve been planning to upgrade my (8gb) RAM and SSD, for like, the last 5 years? Never gonna upgrade lol

Exactly what I’m talking about. It reminds me of the time microsoft introduced memory compression to compensate for every application bringing it’s own DLLs

But I still think flatpak is superior to windows way of doing things because it actually has dependency management. I kinda like the idea of having multiple versions of the same library but I wish they did not come in big bundles (runtimes), but instead, came in small 1-2MB pieces.

download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run

This is overexaggeration. Flatpak, unlike places windows users get software from, is moderated, and flatpak (although chunky) has shared dependencies
