  • Thank you. I didnt know about lenovo so that’s good to know.

    System76 seems especially out of my price range. I haven’t bought a computer for 12 years, can’t believe laptop’s cost more now (even accounting for inflation) than they did back then. It’s unbelievable. Might have to work out if I want a good one to last a long time (which is risky) or to get a cheaper one and expect to replace earlier.

    By thank you that is helpful.

    I want to get into Linux and I need a new laptop. I’m happy to go secondhand but I actually want a half decent thing that can play some games, not the cheapest box I can put Linux on and use fake word.

    Am I best off just buying a new windows laptop than I can dual boot? Or any other suggestions?

    Windows is US$ 139.00. So I figured if I buy a laptop without windows it will be 139 less but I guess manufacturers get windows for like $20 so there are no saving anyway.

    Edit:should probably add I’m from to UK I that’s relevant

    The first time I learnt about my asbestos I was about 12 and my mum was going off at my dad about it. This was after we just took a load of roofing off an old shed without masks or gloves.

    Thinking of it. He also give me fucking tinnitus when I was like 22. Really should have fucking learnt my lesson by then :(

    It’s surprised me once I got out of school and uni how little people know. But what really blew my mind is just how little they actually care.

    Like someone will say they don’t know how something works, I’ll explain and they will stare at me blankly and I really realise they didn’t want me to explain and they were actually happy not knowing. Whereas I will look at something, whether it’s a kettle or pasteurisation or grass and wonder how it works. But for people actually to prefer not to know and live in ignorance really messed with me for a while.

    I’ve largely given up now. My boss said he was getting all the heating changed in his house to have electric. I asked why he doesn’t get a heat pump and he told me it’s because they don’t work they just blow air our like a fan so it’s colder than an electric radiator. I just said okay and moved on.

    Where’s all those 4chan short stories about humans being the “monsters”/ kick ass.

    It was written from the point of view of a deer being tracked by a human even when they were out of sight and smell the humans keep coming and they never got tired.

    There was also ones written from the point of view of aliens.

    Fuck I wish there was a forum version of 4chan. All the best stuff is on there.
