Security is there to make sure you’re not carrying illegal stuff, as long as that’s fine, the only time they maybe check the id is before giving you the boarding pass.

Looks like the guy didn’t have a boarding pass altogether, so not sure how he got into the plane.

There is usually a person or an automatic gate that checks your pass before allowing you through the plane. However that’s more like a ticket check and to make sure people don’t get on the wrong planes, it’s probably not super hard to get around.

Gnome is great because of the large UI size. Like my 14" notebook has a roughly 2800x1600 screen resolution and it’s still pretty usable without any UI scaling. If the bars are an inch tall, you’re either using a huge TV or a screen from the garbage dump. Gnome really needs a modern system.

I had fun for about the first two worlds. After that the puzzles became to grindy and frustrating and I didn’t have much fun with the puzzles with the recorders and the exploding enemies in particular. Also as someone who fears heights, the last section was pretty much unplayable.

I just wish there was a sequel or expansion or so. It’s just too short and there isn’t much replay value.

Celeste.

To a lesser extent, I liked Hitman 3, Factorio and Plate Up! (fun to play on the TV locally with friends)

Some are, the intellij java community edition is even open source. The paid ones are not too expensive, I pay around 200€ yearly for the all products pack and that’s definitely worth it for a professional developer. If you are a student or open source developer, you can apply for free versions also.

A few years ago I had some respect for Musk because he build electric cars and quite revolutionary space ships. Funny how that’s now all gone now.

So in this case, the declining birth rates caused by capitalism might protect us from the reckless growth caused by capitalism. Sounds great.

For modeling I like Freecad and Blender. Blender is more for general modelling and sculpting, Freecad is more for cad/constraint based creation of precise 3d models. So use blender if you want to create little soldiers or elephants or other more organic stuff, and use Freecad if you want to print a replica of a plastic part or an enclosure or something like that.

There should be tons of slicers available on Linux.

I always thought hdr was more of a preprocessing step to prevent clipping unrelated to display tech.

That’s tone mapping, HDR is actually having more than 8 bits and often also more colorful colours than normal. I think 10 bits are common.

Nice, haven’t played Factorio for a while, but I could probably get back into it with the expansion.

It’s available, but they’re still US based and basically importing it, you don’t have proper EU customer protection or EU warranty* for example. I wouldn’t buy it just because of that.

* They give 2 years of warranty for their EU customers, but not EU wide as would be required if actually selling from the EU. You also have basically no chance to sue then or otherwise demand anything if they for some reason ignore your warranty claim.

Framework has some quality problems, not everyone is a fan of the keyboard, and it’s relatively expensive.

Tuxedo is quite good, but they often use stock Clevo models and customize them, so they might be cheaper and not that well designed than one by a “proper brand”.

Not sure about the rest.

There’s very little alternative if you want a ThinkPad style keyboard and track pad/trackpoint for the price of a used or older ThinkPad.

Interestingly, many stable diffusion models are trained on pictures of Asian people and thus often generate people that look more or less Asian if there’s no specific input or tuning otherwise. It’s all in the training data and tuning.

See for example here for reference.

I’m not saying that support is lacking, all I’m saying is that you have to have complete trust in a company on the other side of the globe, because all the warranties and promises they give you are completely based on their good will. If they decide to stop supporting you for whatever reason, you pretty much have no leverage.

I live in Germany near the Netherlands border. Moving between countries is very common here because of different living costs and job opportunities and losing support because you move a few km west or east is not acceptable in my opinion.

However with Framework you still need to be careful in Europe. It’s an US based company and if you have a defect or problem that Framework for some reason doesn’t resolve, good luck trying to enforce your EU customer protection or suing them in the US.

Framework is also very strict regarding unsupported countries. If you move within the EU to a country that isn’t supported by Framework, you’ll have big problems with support in case you need help or parts or whatever.

Using Jerboa right know. I kinda like it, but compared to Relay for Reddit and so on, it’s of course not as polished.
