I’m always saying the thing holding back mass Linux adoption is that one niche window manager isn’t compiled for RISC-V

I reviewed the EcoFlow Delta 3 Max Plus! Pretty wild to have a battery that can power my refrigerator for a day, I just wish most of the settings weren't stuck inside a smartphone app.

This EcoFlow Station Is the Ultimate Power Outage Companion

Is your refrigerator running? Well, when you catch it, power it with this big battery.

Side note, someone should ask DHH who the "native Brits" are. The Normans? Anglo-Saxons? Romans? I'm confused at which invasion I'm supposed to be upset about.

Framework's support of DHH isn't like, several steps removed or anything. Their Twitter/X account is retweeting DHH's posts.

Last month he wrote about how London was falling apart because it's "no longer full of native Brits." Standard great replacement stuff.

Snippet of a blog post post titled: As I remember London

As soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, London was where I wanted to go. Compared to Copenhagen at the time, there was something so majestic about Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even the Tube around the turn of the millenium. Not just because their capital is twice as old as ours, but because it endured twice as much, through the Blitz and the rest of it, yet never lost its nerve. I thought I might move there one day.

That was then. Now, I wouldn't dream of it. London is no longer the city I was infatuated with in the late '90s and early 2000s. Chiefly because it's no longer full of native Brits. In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third. A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of London now.

Copenhagen, by comparison, was about eighty-five percent native Danes in 2000, and is still three-quarters today. Enough of a foreign presence to feel cosmopolitan, but still distinctly Danish in all of its ways. Equally statistically evident on streets and bike lanes.

Hey @frame.work, stop financially supporting fascists. community.frame.work/t/framework-...

Framework supporting far-right racists?

Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand cor...

Body shaming isn't cool. There are a million other things to criticize about these guys.

I can't believe they added woke to my post-scarcity multiculturalist space communism that is largely about helping people and solving societal issues

This is my first time using VR Steam Link since upgrading my network, and I'm impressed! It even passes through hand tracking.

I'm using Wi-Fi on both my PC (through a Wi-Fi 7 6GHz AP) and Quest 3 (5GHz Wi-Fi 6E), and I'm only noticing minor stutters compared to a cable connection. #vr #vrchat
