I bought a mid-2012 Macbook specifically for Linux (I wrecked all my prior plastic laptops and wanted something robust, durable, and maintainable).

After watching Rossmann for a few years, it was the obvious choice - with replaceable RAM, HDD, USB3, Thunderbolt, WiFi AC, and the disk caddy can be replaced to hold an additional storage drive. Not to mention the vast library of his videos instructing you on how to fix various issues if need be. Other models either had problems with screen delamination, weren't upgradeable enough, or had battery swelling problems etc.

Not a fan of apple personally, but I have to admit the 2012 design really holds up well.

Then a while after, the Framework came out ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Is that the Polish train thing where you can literally send an emergency stop command with a walkie talkie?

That is funny lol but annoying for the passengers

Personally, I see nothing wrong with what you've said. Them perma-banning you for "misinformation" instead of actually engaging in a discussion with you about it says all I need to know about that kind of community IMO, and it's not one I'd want to be a part of... regardless of how amazing and secure their OS is.

The unfortunate thing is, I think it's hard to maintain projects like GrapheneOS without people like that on the team - the community's principled nature is kind of reflected in how watertight and robust the OS is

Is something like a unicode symbol even valid as a trademark?

Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.

For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)

It's simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it's unfortunate some of the supported features aren't accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface

Is there a way to disable client image loading in general?

Syphon does this by default, but I can't find an equivalent setting anywhere in Element

Company ran a trial for it, and it worked really well for generating boilerplate code following our existing system design. Sometimes it makes mistakes, but during the trial it was a rare occurence

The company is giving it to us all for free next year, hope it doesn't negatively affect hiring though...

I use KDE Connect. Works remotely if you self host a VPN, or isolated over a hotspot/internet sharing.

Nowhere near as convenient as Wi-Fi direct or Airdrop though, but Linux and Windows machines don't have either

Pretty much this.

The android experience on a Samsung is worlds apart from the experience you'd get on a Pixel, or any of China's domestic brands that use an entirely separate appstore
