  • Framework 2880 x 1920 (new) display review

    Jump

  • If it meant I could actually see my apps because they're not blurry and not tiny. Then hell yeah! Luckily, it's not a choice between all the DPI and none of the DPI.

    • Dell XPS 13 - 1920X1200
    • Lemur Pro - 1920x1200
    • Thinkpad X11 - 1920 x 1200

    It's possible.

  • What android keyboard app do you use and why?

    Jump

  • I use Gboard. I really want to like the FUTO keyboard, but it unfortunately sucks for typing. Not sure what magic secret sauce Gboard has, but with the FUTO keyboard I basically mistype almost every word. Maybe Gboard has some tap target corrections or something? I've tried pushing through with the FUTO keyboard for about a month, but I think I'm ready to uninstall it. )`:

  • What's the oldest technology you continue using?

    Jump

  • The Honda Fit is one of my favorite cars I've ever owned. So damn practical and affordable.

  • If you could be any age for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • I think I would choose 30, but I'd like to do my 20s differently. Lifestyle creep is real. I notice my younger coworkers also make the mistake of spending way too freely. I'd also get married earlier. And take bigger risks earlier.

  • What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

    Jump

  • I totally binged Alan Wake 1 in like 2 days. Then spent a while enveloped by Alan Wake 2! Part 2 really got the AAA treatment. It was funny, spooky, actiony. Lots of stuff to explore, the characters play differently.

    I also didn't realize Control was part of the story, so now I gotta go play that!

  • Discord would have made a better name for a decentralized network and Matrix would have been better for a private company.

  • There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

    Jump

  • LOL! I ran into him yesterday and he was telling me he had to work over the weekend because people have left and they are now understaffed! 😂 git rektt!

  • Maybe? It was an "optional" lunch meeting. I tend to skip meetings that aren't required because I want to keep working.

    But, sure. I understand managers/leaders want to feel important, so fine, I show up to the meetings. I sit at the desk, open the laptop, and tune them out while I actually get work done. Like, the thing we're supposed to be doing. I have the 15 pieces of flair, ok.

  • Waymo and Cruise definitely have humans waiting to take over if the autonomous mode gets stuck... so that's already true!

  • My job forced us back to the office. The eating area has a big dumb sign that says the company is helping solve climate change... because they use paper cups...

  • Ok, I need to tell someone else. The other day I ran into an acquaintance, John. He was telling me about his new manager job. Currently, everyone is working remote. An email was sent out to John's team inviting them to lunch so that the team could meet John in person.

    Apparently, only 1 person showed up. John got butthurt. John told his boss that he thinks his team doesn't "engage enough" at work and that he thinks remote work is to blame. John told me he likes to test people randomly by sending them a Slack message and seeing how long it takes to respond. Apparently, he thinks 5 minutes for a response means people aren't at the computer working. John has convinced his boss to force people back in the office...

  • Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

    Jump

  • Curious, what didn't you like about Matrix specifically? I'm in the process of evaluating it for my friends. With the Element client, so far it seems pretty dang similar? Space = server, room = channel, there are also access controls. Seems like there's voice and video chats too.

  • Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?

    Jump

  • Physical books! I want to fully own my books not have them be locked by some asshole company. It's also just nicer to read paper instead of a screen. It's also easier to carry around a small book instead of a bigger tablet and having to deal with charging yet another device.

  • Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can?

    Jump

  • Some people become managers because they like having control over people.

  • Asking a Linux user to recommend a printer

    Jump

  • I mean, I'm pretty happy with mine! 10/10 would recommend!

  • Friends don't let friends buy HiDPI displays

    Jump

  • The known issue with HiDPI displays, like the one Framework chose, is that apps are blurry. Other laptops, like Thinkpad or XPS, offer low DPI displays which avoid this issue altogether. The irony is that a HiDPI display is supposed to look better than a low DPI display, but the scaling issues actually make it look worse.

    In addition, the experimental flags required to "fix" the scaling issues with apps can also break these apps.

    Spotify window decorations wrong: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/16xhm21/spotify_window_decorations_on_wayland/

    In summary, HiDPI displays have a long history of making your display look worse and limiting the apps you can use. Thinkpad or XPS with low DPI don't require you to only use Ubuntu or Fedora or only KDE. Linux support on the Framework is held back by the poor choice of display.

    Thanks for coming to my ted talk. 🙏
