I hadn’t been. I just wanted an open-source alternative; as with all aspects of my life.

Companies, instead of people, but the premise still applies.

I’d meant to respond to this but, apparently, forgot.

There is but there are some caveats which may make it unsuitable, for you. MNT Research sells a few different pieces of hardware which are entirely open hardware with the aim to be entirely repairable and modifiable, even more so than Framework (from what I hear). They publish the full spec.s of every component the machines are built with and you can even buy printed copies of the manual which lays out the spec.s of all those components.

One of the caveats is that they use ARM; on the one hand, that means no need for fans as there really isn’t any kind of heat build-up but, of course, not everything is available to be built for ARM (you might know this already and I apologize if anything I mention isn’t needed).

The other caveat is that the laptops are a tad chunky (mostly to make rooting around in the innards to swap parts and fix things easier); some people don’t mind that but I figure I ought to make note.

The new one they’re working on, but haven’t released yet (they ship the earliest in July, though, so coming up), are somewhat more slim, though: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next. But it’s really a matter of relativity.

I’d heard that they were kind of slow but that the newest CPU they got for the upcoming device reaches levels comparable with other laptops? I’m very much out of my depth in that area, though.

Lastly, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume, based off your instance, that you’re family and, so, mention that the CEO is genderqueer (Mastodon account at https://mastodon.social/@mntmn). So you do get the added benefit of supporting a Queer-owned business which I don’t think even Framework offers.

I don’t own anything by them so you may want to read up on some reviews or lurk forums, first, but it definitely is as committed to right-to-repair and interchangeability/upgradability of components and also deeply committed to open-source.

The one I absolutely loathe (maybe because I run into it more often) is them stealing when I press Ctrl+f to focus their page’s search textbox.

Beyond being an obviously shitty (and annoying) thing to do, he’s not even right about his own theology; it’s been the position of the Catholic church for, at least, a century now that not only believers are saved.

So just Ls, all around, for that guy.

Nice; what’d you settle on?

I mean, the solution is pretty simple, here: remove both function and media, etc. keys. That way, no extra keys to press (in fact, no keys, at all).

This design stuff’s a cakewalk~

Theoretically, HackTheMenu’s been around since at least 2012 so well before AI.

Doesn’t necessarily work in an actual protest but https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jSZWslqjfPE&pp=ygUgd2hpY2ggc2lkZSBhcmUgeW91IG9uIHJlYmVsIGRpYXo%3D is pretty good and uses Which Side in the chorus.

You make me proud, nutsack.

Not to mention that, for the longest time, that was the one they went to because science didn’t really have any kind of reasoning or theory for how it’d’ve come about and was considered, at the time, unknown; but, in our current present, now we do. Funny how science works.

Sitting on a cool 64, over here.

I mean, – so long as we’re defining it in terms of trans Siberians – I don’t see why trans Siberian men couldn’t use it, also ;)

If it weren’t for rating you poorly, that’d be incredible performance art.

The Bone Chillers episode where their lunchlady gets replace by someone feeding them food with larvae that can be thrown up if they consume mustard also left a mark but only for a matter of days; I remember foregoing ketchup and getting mustard on my school lunch, the next day. I think I was in elementary school, at the time.

As much as I love it, that first Batman: TAS Clayface episode.

Gleefully tormenting a clearly desperate man with the thing he wanted most left me mortified.

*Chaucer laughs from the grave*

I mean, I’d argue that “Thank you” always implies acknowledging a social debt; if you don’t feel there was a social debt someone just assisted you with, I probably wouldn’t say, “Thank you.”

“Have a good day” would just as equally and politely close the interaction while not implying you were just assisted with a social debt.

That’s the strongest point in their favor.

Shhh… (this is cuter)
