I’m on vacation in Thailand for the first time right now and it’s sooo true here.

Isn’t this true for many years now?

You’re spot on. I still remember it from the time I was forced to eat it as a kid. Terrible.

Thank you for the link, this rant is amazing 😂

Oh, ok. Still crazy though.

having the chance to try to hit the daily unlock request window which lasts less than one minute each day (!!!)

Holy shit, are you serious? Can you elaborate on how does that work? You get an email saying you can do that between 3:27:15 PM and 3:27:50 PM or something?

Right! IDE is probably the missing piece. I use Neovim exclusively so I didn’t even think about this.

Yeah, but those shouldn’t really influence memory usage too much unless actively used, right? I’m pretty sure browsers unload unused tabs from memory.

I myself sometimes use quite a lot of tabs, although I have to admit it’s definitely not close to 80 tabs open at all times.

I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I’m well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

Of course, I’m aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can’t believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

I have very bad memories with this dish. I hated it as a kid and was sometimes forced to eat it. 🤮

It’s funny because where I live there were even warnings to never give your card to the cashier back when they weren’t so popular. It was precisely because of some rare cases of cashiers managing to clone or charge the card during that moment. I, and most people I know, wouldn’t just hand in their card if asked. It just doesn’t happen here.

Thanks for the suggestion but I’m not going back from Wayland either.

I know there are ways to tile in both Gnome and KDE, I tried some of them. Unfortunately, none of them allow for workspace management type I’m used to.

What I need is to have workspaces 1-5 on the first monitor, 6-8 on the second, and 9-11 on the third. I need those to be bound to the monitors so I don’t have to manually move them around. And I need to switch between them independently of course. It’s interesting that no DE seems to be able to do that but it’s a standard way to set up Hyprland or Sway.

I can’t go back from a tiling WM but I would actually prefer to use a DE nowadays. I seriously hope that COSMIC will be able to fill that gap between the two.

I guess the fact that it can kill you easily is not enough to call it a suicide cable lmao

I mean, it’s like a fucking drug. The learning curve is steep AF but past some point, when it starts making sense, it’s just incredible. I’m currently moving my whole setup to NixOS and I’m in love.

This was my first thought. It can’t be comfortable.

Finally did it a few months back. I’m slowly degoogling too, although I’m afraid I won’t be ready to cut all ties for a bit more time.

It’s really sad that tech ended up like this. It all seemed so exciting not that long ago.

I can only use it as a laptop 1% of the time and it still makes perfect sense because otherwise I would have to own a separate device for this 1% of the time.

Hey, that’s really nice! I always wondered what’s the actual real life use case of the external monitor desktop mode on the phone. Your workflow is a perfect example of that.
