Can just confirm the other comment

GrapheneOS is serving me very well
No problems (currently) with banking apps either

I’m very happy with it - although a real Linux phone would be really cool

Yeah, gin is probably a personally preference
For me it tastes like perfumed alcohol

I like my alcohol more… honest

Same for me

Was working at a fast food stand at night in my youth (well, for nearly 10 years) and Jägermeister was the only shot we had
So I drank that with the customer

Don’t even want to look at it anymore…

And delete all the memories you had during that

Mushrooms are actually awesome - in every way, not just psychedelic

One of the coolest kind of species we have on earth

But I don’t know much either, just scratching the surface - but with excitement ;⁠-⁠)

That’s actually true for some variety of it
At least for P. Cubensis. But e.g. the liberty cap will grow just somewhere in grass land - as far as I know, not living in the region and not much of a hunter myself

But cow dung mushrooms were the topic of some friends in my youth. So I guess, that is a good place to start

Insanely useful is quite a stretch here

As long as someone knew what that code meant, it was kinda useful, yeah

Even this comment makes me want to bite those suckers off, when I don’t have a clipper near

Unbearable…

It’s rather easy to setup a VPS with a VPN.

so that law would again pretty much accomplish nothing

Politicians and IT… Always a dream team

Would like to see how many companies function without VPN …

Couldn’t do my job without VPN/Wireguard

Hehe, that’s exactly where I got my idea from to control my breathing to try to float ;⁠-⁠)

Like an internal dive jacket

Ha! I’m skinny too and my wife always tells me, floating in water is just a learnable skill

I’m just drowning as well…even if I try to control my breathing to stay afloat, my legs will drop and it’s just a constant struggle to stay tensed, breathing while trying to keep a full lung to have more volume…
She meanwhile just floats by relaxing and doing nothing.

I’m still not sure if it’s really just technique or her boobs are acting as a life vest…

I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty

So, I can’t really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.

But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…

Yeah… Thanks
English isn’t my first language and it’s Friday, I’m everything but sober

I worked with a diplomated software engineer and that idiot couldn’t even set up his own computer.

This whole branche is cursed…

As said, I was young…

I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.

Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.

Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again

16 year old me was more than heart broken…

In Austria we also had the ‘Schilling’ before the Euro

I’m still not sure how this 2 currencies are connected - at least by name…

Maybe I can also chime in here

Was awake with some caffeine for like 3-4 days. After that the light of the sun got a strange blueish colour and I just couldn’t keep up anymore.

Years later I was routinely up for 2-3 days, but once was up for 5 days with some chemical help.
Major hallucinations with that.
Had a cleaning lady inside my apartment, which was nice.
A guy laying on my desk, that looked like the death smiling at me.

And after some time I, and a hash hot chocolate, which should have helped me to finally sleep, I had a full blown river beside my couch, separating me from my other stuff.

But nothing really troubling, just stuff that was there and could still kinda see through, that it’s bullshit.

Took me quite some embarrassing time to figure out the alternative reading
Just reading from bottom up somehow wasn’t that obvious at first
