@slothrop Nice 🙂 I just posted this: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115342979755232886

In Zagreb, I realized my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 is starting to show its age. The battery life is shorter and the system seems slower than it was at the beginning, perhaps also due to the latest OS version. Yesterday, I used the "new" Acer with openSUSE Tumbleweed, running KDE Plasma. It's small, I paid about 500 euros for it, and it has a good monitor, but the battery life is poor, and that's the main reason I still primarily use the Mac. And yet, it gave me a greater sense of speed than the Mac. When one of the BSDs works well enough on this laptop (mainly suspend/resume), it will probably become my daily driver on the go. I need to try OpenBSD 7.8 as soon as it will be out.
it might have some surprises in store for me.

Today I'm decommissioning my work laptop, and moving to a new machine. The 3-year leasing period is over.

The old one is an M1 Macbook Pro. While on previous occasions I really looked forward to the performance boost of a new laptop, with this one, I would have just kept using it for another 1-2 years.

The replacement is an M4 Macbook Air. According to colleagues, it's marginally nicer. But not "OMG shut up and take my money" nicer.

@Illuminatus @Xibanya wow that's even more astounding because those language as related like apples and triangles*.
Interesting to learn that they still manage to sound superficially similar by some weird phenomenon of linguistic convergent evolution. Thanks for sharing.

*yes I'm aware that's not the idiom; it's on purpose.

@ed BOH! Non ho giocato Cybersleuth, ma ci sono le lotte a turni e ormai se vedo delle lotte di mostri a turni penso "azz, poteva essere Pokémon se Pokémon fosse bello".

@emanuelecariati grazie... mi piace scoprire che il mio sito è green.

@anarchiversitario @anarchia Una riflessione. L'istituzionalizzazione di una pratica non sta nella pratica in sé quanto nell'aderire a un codice che dà forma e significato. Se la pratica finisce per essere sovraimplicata da codici che la significano e ne impongono forme, di quella pratica resta ben poco di "anarchico". Un'azione autenticamente "rivoluzionaria" è quella che si porta fuori da codici e forme già significate per generare vita diversamente altrove. Ogni codice è sempre una sfida.

@DarioZanette eh, molti non sanno la differenza tra attraversamento pedonale e ciclopedonale
