  • The refurbished thinkpads you find are usually three years old after the companies who lease them buy new ones for the users.

    You can do a lot of things with a three year old thinkpad...

  • Have you tried NixOS?

    Jump

  • Yes. And I feel sad because I haven't been excited on any other OS for years after learning NixOS. I used to be excited about playing with things like FreeBSD, but now they all feel like something's missing...

    Not for everybody, but as a software engineer nix/nixos is blessing.

  • Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?

    Jump

  • Exactly this. Having an interest and a hobby to an open source system will make you better in your job and a much more interesting candidate to hire.

    Source: started with linux in 1995 as a kid. Never having issues finding great jobs.

    Edit: I did not mean being a devops here, but finding an interest in open source software and learning a highly lucrative programming language while going. You can get pretty far with Rust or Go in the modern startups, C or Java in enterprises. Being very good with Linux drives this interest.

  • How are Mexicans Restaurants Europe?

    Jump

  • They are not usually very good, depending on the city, of course. In Germany, where I live, it's a struggle to find good Mexican food. It's never spicy enough and often kind of trashy. There are a few okay, more upscale places with 6-7 euro tacos (yikes) and 13 euro margaritas (yikes). But it's not as good as in our visits to the US.

    Weirdly, when I visit my parents in Helsinki, that city actually has a quite good Mexican restaurant scene. Damn, Helsinki of all places. It's one of the rare EU cities with Taco Bells (yeah, not Mexican food, I know), and some of the finest Mexican restaurants I've visited in Europe. They are quite expensive, but the tacos I've had there have been surprisingly good.

    In general, Mexico is far from Europe. You can easily find amazing Italian, French, or Georgian food here. In the US, I've mostly been disappointed with the selection of French or Italian food. I haven't found Georgian cuisine in any US cities. So, I tend to enjoy Mexican food when I visit that side of the planet to see family, and mostly focus on European food in the EU.

    But damn, I wish there was a diner serving biscuits and gravy in Berlin. Biscuits are one of the things that just don't exist in Europe.

  • Helsinki has multiple Taco Bells. One of the rare cities in Europe for that. It is quite different compared to the US, better quality ingredients and many vegan options.

  • But if you lose the information how to turn those bits into music, it is gone forever. That Edison cylinder is pretty easy to play compared to that opus or mp3 file you found from the grave 40000 years from now.

  • True, but analog cylinders are going to be the ones people after the world burns can find and still listen. I wouldn't count any old CDs play at that point anymore.

    Like analog degrades, digital just stops playing.

  • It used to be in the 80's when D/A converters were shit compared to the great 70's and 80's vinyl and tape players. Or in the 90's and 00's when most of the CDs were mastered loud and ugly. Nowadays it is what you say: digital really sounds better...

  • It is very different outside Berlin too. But one of the reasons is how most of the clubs here are very queer friendly, and it is easier for people from different backgrounds to go there if they know their presence there is not leaked to their families from some photos.

    I also noticed that underground parties in countries like Finland started to follow this trend. In these cases it is more to filter out cameras on dance floors which obviously makes the parties more fun when people are just not using their phones all the time.
