I love their transparency.

Unless they ask you for your reddit/lemmy account during the background check process and you willingly give it, I imagine they only go as far as checking social media accounts that are searchable with your known names, email addresses, and phone numbers on the major social media platforms. That's if you keep your lemmy account relatively anonymous of course.

A résumé-generating event for sure.

I don't usually go along with trends, so my worst one is the starbucks planner thing where you collect stickers for every coffee you buy and you get a planner notebook for the coming year. Most expensive notebook I ever bought, and a waste of money. Also feels disgusting giving all that money to starbucks. This was like15 years ago though.

Do you have grocery delivery in your area? If she isn't picky with the brand of pizza, maybe a $6 frozen pizza heated in the oven would be an alternative. Not sure if you have to tip, I haven't tried it myself.

All the obvious ones have been mentioned already, so I'll just add:

  • Keyboard tray if your desk doesn't have one. It allows you to achieve the 90 degree arm position without having to set your desk too low or your chair too high.

  • Wrist pad. A nice gel pad provides great support for your wrist. Just make sure your keyboard and mouse are at the appropriate heights, because if not, a wrist pad can make it worse.

  • Head rest add-on to your chair if it doesn't have one.

  • Laptop stand to lift your laptop screen to eye level. It also helps to keep it aligned to an external monitor so they are the same heights.

The difference is OP probably got their device with Windows already installed and they only needed to go through the setup steps. Setting up the installation media really is the biggest barrier of entry to linux right now. A lot of distros are so easy to set up with a step-by-step gui installer, but a lot of non technical users don’t have the knowledge, skill, or motivation to download an iso and create a bootable drive.

That and you won’t even know if the destination civilization is still there by the time you arrive.

I bet at least 90% of us use that theme. lol

Well there aren’t really a lot of options with OP’s requirements, so something has to give. It’s either that, or:

  • Projector, but not super great quality and needs specific setups (dark room).

  • Extra large monitor, but heavy and expensive.

  • Smart TV that lets you bypass setup without connecting to the internet - best option, but they will have to find an exact model and someone who has tried it to confirm before they buy.

Amazing! I've been using SinkIt For Reddit for a while. It's great to have an actual app again. Thank you for this!
