I do eventually listen to them… but it might take me a week 🤭
This also lead to a few humorous situation when people were expecting me to have listened to their messages, but I was absolutely out of context.
Nowadays those who expect me to reply earlier than in a couple of days just don't send me these.

@sysrq @MK2boogaloo What's the second album from the left? It does look vaguely familiar, but I can't quite grasp it — is it something by Radiohead? 🤔

@bot
If you can't tell — what's the difference 🤷

@GNUxeava
Yeah, I was talking about their business and high-end consumer lines. basically Spectre and ProBooks, the cheaper ones are indeed meh 🤮 Even among higher end ones there are disappointing models.
Speaking of Apple, there's also higher resell value in their devices to the point of being amusingly overrated by some — some onlune ads are like: man, this machine is completely unusable in the current year and you want to sell it at half of its original price, are you nuts? 😆

Puella Duragon Boru Magika 🤪

@GNUxeava
Generally true — yes. But of course there are exceptions, I've had experience with both: faulty Apple devices — I'm typing this right now on an old MBP with fried GPU, and all the models they had produced that year and the next one had issues with discrete GPU, Apple admitted it only in 5 years and started a replacement program 🤪
And there are quite durable and reliable "Windows" laptops — technically ThinkPads are just that, some HP laptops also turn out to be fine 🤷

Beyond! 😬

Kinda sad every time when you had other plans, but you end up just getting drunk.
But hey, it's still not THAT bad 🤪

@munir
And with the way I have my system set up, I can squeeze 4 hours of video even from a decade old HP with its tiny battery, it's no longer a selling point: with my usage patterns any more or less recent system would have seemingly infinite battery life to me.

@munir
Either I'm paying for the product I'm pleased with, or I'm investing time into making it such, but not both.
But yes, the "overpriced" is often coming from those who have never had personal experience with their products. If you like what you get, the premium you pay seems negligible.
In addition to that, the system became quite significantly more locked down and the hardware less repairable in the recent years, so I'm never looking back.

@munir
If you enjoy both the hardware and the software, there is nothing wrong with it, but if you don't — there isn't much you can do about it. I'm a former Apple user and I simply can't stand modern Apple UIs, it's all just disgusting to me 😖 I can somewhat mitigate it with hacks, but it makes the system less stable and why would I be fighting with the system that I have paid premium to enjoy?

@vruz @vfrmedia
Watchdogs are often used to ensure critical systems keep running. I got a watch cat instead 😸

My cat is sleeping beside me on the bed, he's not as intrusive as he often is, he's just curled up among the pillows nearby, I dig it!

My other cat:

And she's not in it for the mouse cursor as I originally thought — there's no action there, but she's been sitting like that for 10 minutes or so straight, just watching the log lines scroll by… Do #cats actually enjoy the console? 😹

@swaggboi
Well, then it's one of the rare cases when the name matches the essence 😂

@Hyolobrika
Yeah, like a negative of the original image, not something significantly different 🤷

@newt @pry
> number of defects per line of code
There is also no evidence that such a metric makes any sense😏
I mean it would, given fixing a defect required constant median time, but we all know that it's never the case.

@kevinrothrock
I'd bet hundred bucks that the officials behind it don't even know that googol is a number 😩

@RustyCrab
Stay away from their hotels though 😏

@Hyolobrika
For some reason I can't even imagine what Western European libertarian groups would be — what's even on their agenda? They shouldn't be much different from anarchists — for US the point of division is some cultural left-right thing, but for Europe this shouldn't be the case 🤔
