Doesnt mod reports usually list a reason a post is removed? You could likely look it up if you’re curious.

As someone who is trying mint with Cinnamon, agreed. KDE just feels and looks better IMO.

Seems like a nuanced and balanced take. AI can help or hurt, makes sense to me that they dont really endorse or prohibit it right now.

Its almost like privacy is a good thing.

Hope nothing bad happens to you. Surely not. Flock cameras make everything safer right?

Absolutely agree.

Welcome!

I have really enjoyed Lemmy so far. Most folks here are good to talk to, understand nuance and are generally not giant dicks.

That said, we still have trolls or the occasional spam account making the rounds but that has been a small part of my experience.

I will say, most communities are more left leaning, so if you dont lean that way, you may find that people disagree with you but as long as you are civil and argue or discuss issues in good faith, I think people are willing to listen for the most part.

With all that said, there are still echo chambers here. But most of us know the world is burning, and we do our best to inform each other and build good community. We can only do so much.

Thats correct. So basically good for the company and the lawyers. Sometimes its the best option but in this case, just means they can do it again.

I worked for a security company that has stolen wages and has settled out of court 4 separate times. They will likely continue to do so.

Tony hawk pro skater IRL, let’s go

Funny, I just posted about buying a t480. I wont lie and say its the latest and greatest, but its a good machine. My main reason was the Linux support, but as others mentioned, Linux runs on just about anything.

I think it would depend on the kind of software you’re developing. If you’re doing web development, I’d say you’re good, game Dev, maybe not. There are also different models with diffrent specs. Some come with 8 gigs or sometimes more, some have a TN panel or an IPS, i7 vs i5 so just be on the lookout for what specs you want/need.

I made sure to get the IPS model so no TN for me. And yea so far, seems to work well.

I’m not a fan of immutable distros tbh. I know they are the most “ease of use” you can get but at the same time, if I really want to change something, I can.

And IMO, I like Ubuntu. Wide compatibility and is stable. Thats what I like. I could take or leave Canonical though.

Nah I’m just dumb lol. Idk why my brain didn’t clock that. Thank you for explaining

This one does. I think certain IPS models got the feature. Tbh, not really much of a touchscreen guy for laptops but I wont say no

Great minds think alike haha. Good for you brother. Hope it works well for you.

Ah OK that makes more sense.

I followed this guide, worked right out of the box:

Oof will keep an eye on that. Thanks for the tip!

Yea i wanted to give it a shot since ive been thinking of switching to mint on my desktop. Right now I run kubuntu on my main machine and for the past few years its been great, and the only thing thats really kept me has been KDE plasma. I may just bite the bullet and install plasma in mint cause so far, I’m still not a fan of cinnamon.

What do you mean by partial battery charging? I noticed the battery readout isnt exactly accurate so far but I’m not sure if that’s what you mean.

Its 8th gen. Intel Core i5-8350U.
