About support: I have a Framework laptop. With my initial shipment I received a defective Ethernet expansion port. The failure was difficult to identify, but support was incredibly responsive and helpful. Once it was confirmed the issue was due to a defective Ethernet card (which took some investigative effort), a replacement was shipped immediately.

All this to say that, if you live in a supported country in the EU, I see no reason that people may find their support lacking.

That's such a great read! It sounds like they had so much fun shooting these commercials. Well, except for the almost dying part.

@AnalogyAddict I would say soft YTA, as you're saying there is a whole other area for active dogs without weeds, so let the dog play there while awaiting an answer from the park office.

Other people and wildlife definitely do appreciate the presence of flowers like these. What may be a hazard to your dog might not be a hazard to other dogs. When the park office explicitly allows you to remove the plants, then you're NTA.

This struck me too, if you're relying on instruments that exist in a universe where its constants are changing to measure those constants, then it seems very natural to me that your measurements would not necessarily change.
The constants instruments use to measure other constants might change at the same rate, leaving measurement results constant.

Then again, I'm not a physicist, so I'm nowhere near an expert.

Actually, if you're interested, gaming on Linux is great nowadays.
Nvidia GPUs are not really well supported, but they work.
However, if you game using Intel integrated graphics or an AMD GPU, the performance is perfect.
On steam I have yet to encounter a game that does not run well using Proton.

 

One way I've been able to (slightly) reduce waste is by buying jars of toothpaste rather than buying it in plastic tubes. Glass jars can be re-used or recycled.

I use a modified version of an old hope

I used Visual Studio Code for a while and it was pretty good, it was able to do near everything that I wanted it to do.
However, at some point I kept running into some issues with the autocompletion function (intellisense) and the documentation it shows on functions you're typing. These popups appear underneath the line you edit and kept obscuring code that I wanted to be able to see.
I could not find a setting to move these popups without disabling Intellisense in its entirety, which annoyed me to no end.

That's why I finally bit the bullet and switched to EMACS a few months ago and while it's a little less stable, it allows me to configure whatever and however I want to configure. In addition, it allows me to do many things other than programming in the same application. I read my emails in EMACS, I keep to-do lists and agenda in EMACS, I (used to) read Reddit from EMACS. There are lots of possibilities.

EMACS by itself is a very barebones experience, I installed DOOM EMACS, a framework which installs and configures many things for you out-of-the-box, which is very handy for getting started. One potential caveat is that DOOM is designed for vim keybindings which can be difficult to get accustomed to (I love them, though). The vim keybindings can be disabled, though I'm sure there are also other frameworks which take a non-vim approach.

It can be difficult to get started in, but for me EMACS is extremely rewarding.

Edit: I program in Typescript with React, Java, PostgreSQL and Rust all from within EMACS

True, I think AI has the biggest potential of changing our lives in the near future. I don't think we are anywhere near generalised AI right now, but even the current LLVMs have amazing capabilities. I think there may be many ways we can apply these AIs that we haven't thought of yet.
Now here's to hoping that these AIs won't be monopolised by corporations but instead stay available to the general public.

I'm loving the Resident Evil 4 Remake at the moment
