Yep, that's the one. I can't speak to the compatibility though because I got the one without a dedicated GPU.

I have the 16 and use NixOS. I haven't had any issues. I'm able to use the fingerprint scanner and all of the function keys do what they're supposed to.

If you're not already aware, there's a nixos-hardware repo with common settings for various devices that you can import. All of the Framework laptops have a module there. Although, if I recall correctly, everything worked fine before I pulled that into my config, so it seems like the hardware scan did a good job making everything just work.

As soon as FUTO gets a split layout, I'm definitely switching over, if for no other reason than the slider for how aggressive auto correct is. I'm so sick of Gboard constantly correcting the word I meant with one that doesn't make any sense.

Funny you should mention that.

I switched to buckwheat pillows a few years ago and I've been a fan. It's a really interesting texture that you can move and shape really easily, but then when you apply pressure to it, it firms up and holds its shape. So, you get a really supportive pillow that's molded to your head and neck (For reference, I'm a side sleeper). The only downside I've noticed is the filling degrades relatively quickly, and after about a year it loses a lot of its volume and doesn't hold its shape as well, so you'll need to replace it. The bright side is that it's fairly cheap, and entirely biodegradable.

In a few days I'll be moving to a new state to be closer with my long distance girlfriend of a year. I've been feeling pretty directionless and stuck for a long time now, so I'm looking forward to being able to start a new chapter of my life.

Because someone screen capped it from Instagram, and for some reason static images need to be videos with a random song playing.

This is why I do a lot of my Internet searches with perplexity.ai now. It tells me exactly what it searched to get the answer, and provides inline citations as well as a list of its sources at the end. I've never used it for anything in depth, but in my experience, the answer it gives me is typically consistent with the sources it cites.

I've used nextcloud for a while now, but it does suffer from jack of all trades syndrome. I've started offloading the things I use it for to other services that do a particular thing better. Syncthing for general file syncing across my devices, Immich for managing photos, Radicale for contacts and calendar sync...

If you're just looking for an all in one Google Drive like experience for your files though, Nextcloud is as good as it gets.

Interesting. Thanks for the information!

I use Portainer and it's a good UI, but I find the way they market business edition pretty scummy. Like having a banner ad constantly visible on the page, and having half the features visible but disabled with a big bright "upgrade to Business Edition" message next to them, and directly refusing to add any mechanism to opt out. I respect that they need funding for development, but they need to realize that a lot of their users simply don't need a business license and aren't going to buy one no matter how much advertisement you throw at them. The fact that they don't realize that and refuse to budge indicates to me that they've stopped caring about the user experience of their product.

Sorry for the rant, I've been annoyed by this for a long time. Some day I'll set up my own gitops pipeline, but that pesky day job keeps getting in the way.

I was kind of afraid that would be the answer. Do you still need a separate Apple device to set it up? I'm not necessarily morally opposed to buying an Apple product, but I am morally opposed to buying two to use one.

I have a shield pro, but it's definitely starting to age, and with Nvidia neglecting it for years and finally ending support, I don't think I'll be getting a new one. My TV OS doesn't have an app without side loading, and even if it did, I don't think I'd want to use it.

Android has a similar feature. It's called "Lockdown mode" on the shutdown menu. Locks the phone and turns off any biometric unlocks.

Honestly, because Windows is a steaming pile of garbage and using Mac feels like swimming with pool floaties.

I recently started using NixOS as my distro and it has been phenomenal. Saying the learning curve is a little steep is like calling a hurricane a little bit of rain, but once you start to get it, it's extremely powerful and delivers on the promise of "all of your configuration in one place." It gives me a lot of peace of mind to know that every time I tweak or fix something, it's reliably making it into a version controlled and backed up repository. I could throw my laptop out the window, pick up a new one, and have all my applications installed and configured within half an hour.

Yeah, once I made the switch to wireless earbuds, I didn't miss the jack at all. People have valid complaints about them, like the price and the limited battery, but I think the convenience is worth it.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but highly recommend checking out https://trash-guides.info/

They have a ton of guides on how to configure and automate really detailed rules for sonarr/radarr. So, while it won't help you verify the download matches the labels, it'll make it more likely to get releases from reputable sources that are more likely to use accurate labels.

it also means the need for societal shift to support people outside of capitalism is needed.

Exactly. This is why I think arguing about whether AI is stealing content from human artists isn't productive. There's no logical argument you can really make that a theft is happening. It's a foregone conclusion.

Instead, we need to start thinking about what a world looks like where a large portion of commercially viable art doesn't require a human to make it. Or, for that matter, what does a world look like where most jobs don't require a human to do them? There are so many more pressing and more interesting conversations we could be having about AI, but instead we keep circling around this fundamental misunderstanding of what the technology is.

I can definitely see why OpenAI is controversial. I don't think you can argue that they didn't do an immediate heel turn on their mission statement once they realized how much money they could make. But they're not the only player in town. There are many open source models out there that can be run by anyone on varying levels of hardware.

As far as "stealing," I feel like people imagine GPT sitting on top of this massive collection of data and acting like a glorified search engine, just sifting through that data and handing you stuff it found that sounds like what you want, which isn't the case. The real process is, intentionally, similar to how humans learn things. So, if you ask it for something that it's seen before, especially if it's seen it many times, it's going to know what you're talking about, even if it doesn't have access to the real thing. That, combined with the fact that the models are trained to be as helpful as they possibly can be, means that if you tell it to plagiarize something, intentionally or not, it probably will. But, if we condemned any tool that's capable of plagiarism without acknowledging that they're also helpful in the creation process, we'd still be living in caves drawing stick figures on the walls.

This seems like a good time to mention that if you live in the US, there's currently a significant amount of federal money up for grabs to expand the rail network, with an emphasis on high speed rail. See if there are any projects being planned in your state, and make your voice heard so NIMBYs and airline industry cronies don't bully us out of a vastly superior mode of inter-city transit.
