Time for a new laptop, my trusty Thinkpad T490 is getting a bit long in the tooth.
It served me very well 6 years or so. My previous laptop served as my daily driver for roughly the same amount of time.
I like doing research and getting a device that I don't have to worry about for half a decade.
And on that note, I am looking at two #QubesOS certified laptops:

Related: is anyone using #QubesOS with a 4k 14" laptop screen?
My experience is that QubesOS does not support UI scaling very well, so having a 4k screen might cause annoying issues. Especially with external screens.
I'd love to hear from anyone who is using this kind combination.
Edit: brainfart, I meant 4k, not FHD 🤦♀️

Sì infatti è quello che vorrei fare, ma il sito di meteo am, come scrivevo sopra, è macchinoso e poco leggibile (come peraltro tutte le app che ho provato, tranne appunto quella che uso)

Mesa Project Adds Code Comprehension Requirement After AI Slop Incident
Recently [Faith Ekstrand] announced on Mastodon that Mesa was updating its contributor guide. This follows a recent AI slop incident where someone submitted a massive patch to the Mesa project with the claim that this would improve performance ‘by a few percent’. The catch? The entire patch was generated by ChatGPT, with the submitter becoming somewhat irate when the very patient Mesa developers tried to explain that they’d happily look at the issue after the submitter had condensed the purported ‘improvement’ into a bite-sized patch.
The entire saga is summarized in a recent video by [Brodie Robertson] which highlights both how incredibly friendly the Mesa developers are, and how the use of ChatGPT and kin has made some people with zero programming skills apparently believe that they can now contribute code to OSS projects. Unsurprisingly, the Mesa developers were unable to disabuse this particular individual from that notion, but the diff to the Mesa contributor guide by [Timur Kristóf] should make abundantly clear that someone playing Telephone between a chatbot and OSS project developers is neither desirable nor helpful.
That said, [Brodie] also highlights a recent post by [Daniel Stenberg] of Curl fame, who thanked [Joshua Rogers] for contributing a massive list of potential issues that were found using ‘AI-assisted tools’, as detailed in this blog post by [Joshua]. An important point here is that these ‘AI tools’ are not LLM-based chatbots, but rather tweaked existing tools like static code analyzers with more smarts bolted on. They’re purpose-made tools that still require you to know what you’re doing, but they can be a real asset to a developer, and a heck of a lot more useful to a project like Curl than getting sent fake bug reports by a confabulating chatbot as has happened previously.

Despite Israel intercept around one dozens of boats. There are still huge chances that global sumud flotilla still can reach Gaza in 5 hours. Keep your eyes on global sumud flotilla
