Slightly off topic, but whatever distro you choose you probably want to use the kernel parameter amdgpu.abmlevel=0 because without it the display gets super washed out and low contrast when the laptop is in power saving mode which drove me insane until I figured out that parameter.

It's so dumb because it would be so easy for them to use a business model people don't hate since it's a genuinely good game but they just won't. If they charged like $20 for the base game and maybe like $5 each for the DLCs I would probably buy the game and a few DLCs, but all the DLCs are so expensive that my options are either play the base game for free or pirate all the DLC for free, so either way EA gets no money out of someone who would otherwise have been a paying customer

Yeah but I bet google's one will have lots of cool features like being harder to use and not supporting becoming root and requiring google play services for no discernable reason

I tried searx for a while but, at least with the instance I used, the results were awful quality and there were a lot of reliability issues. Do you have an instance recommendation?

I woke up at noon because I tried to drive for 12 hours on 4 hours of sleep a couple days ago and then had to get up early every day until today. Don't do that it turns out

For text editing, kate is really good and has like zero learning curve and it has tons of features like really good lsp integration but can also just be a normal text editor if you don't want all the fancy stuff.

(But also I promise learning vim isn't as hard as you think it is, you can learn the basics in like an hour or two and there are so many things it makes so much easier than other editors)

Kate is so good, I switched to it once atom was discontinued and only stopped using it when I finally got around to setting up neovim to have all the things I need

Sometime around android 9 they removed a bunch of sd card related features to make you have to do the weird combine with internal storage thing

This is why I love ostree distributions so much for my laptop. Not only can I safely update in class, I once switched distributions twice in one day of classes with only like 30s of total downtime, I just waited for the professor to go off on a tangent I didn't need to take notes about so I could reboot.

I have a very similar spec Asus Eee PC that I use NetBSD with i3 on and it's fine for like taking notes in vim or listening to music with strawberry. It can also run Haiku fine which I might switch to on it at some point because Haiku is fun. Anyway my best use idea is just use it to explore operating systems you're curious about

I mean yeah it's a stupid feature that they probably shouldn't have, I just think the headline is super misleading since it implies they would use your face to advertise to to others which isn't true.
