System76 or Framework laptop?
  • Yes, with Xfce it's pretty snappy, works really well. The E5490 is even better especially with a i7

  • System76 or Framework laptop?
  • I'm using Dell laptop, they are still supported even the 6 or 7 years old one, with new bios fixing CVE, etc and some of them were even sold with Linux at the time!

    I bought a E5470 (core I5 6th gen) I love it, less than 200$, 8GB of ram, 14" 1080p IPS, 256GB SSD. Full repair manual available, etc.

    I'm running MX Linux on it

  • Smartphones with "pure" Android
  • Nope, Google Wallet does not run with unlocked bootloader or with root. There's a lot of programs made to avoid this but setup can be broken anytime with a Google update. If you absolutely want to pay with your phone, it can be nightmarish to install all kind of add-ons to bypass failing CTS.

  • Reddit knew this was going to happen if they brought r/place back, right ?
  • I completely don't care about this 3rd edition... first and second one I placed pixel every 5 minutes, this one I just saw it because of this post and the result is pathetic

  • Reddit knew this was going to happen if they brought r/place back, right ?
  • oh god it's pathetic... I remember very well the first r/place, then the second one was super cool too! But this one, wow, super pathetic :-( shame on reddit...

  • Canadian population growth to drive home prices higher and faster: Report
  • Average is about 800k, in Montreal it's about 700k, how can people, especially young people working at less than 20$/h and sometimes partial time, will do to buy a house? Even rental is out of control here. Buying a condo is even worst with monthly fees, 600$+/month is not uncommon, adding to mortgage, adding 400-500$/month for taxes.

    People earn less than 2k/month and have to spent 1200-1500$ on rent.

    Adding 500K-1M immigrants per year will brings workforce to build housing, but where will those people live? And housing price will go up anyway?

    At one point the system will explode?

  • Looking for some entertainment tomorrow? Reddit is launching r/place again. Should be fun to watch
  • I remember the 1st one it was magic! Second one was ok but censorship and bots killed it

    3rd one? I dunno I quit Reddit last month after 13 years...

  • PING 127.0.0.1 I know it is around here somewhere...
  • Yeah incredible, this is like a 20yo quote!

  • The state of Playstore
  • Wow it looks like I haven't used the playstore for a long time now... I guess I install app from a link in a web browser or github page or something, but searching and browsing the playstore I have not done in years.

  • Smartphones with "pure" Android
  • If you want pure android, then a Pixel phone, but if you want to degoogle, no...

    Else you can find very interesting powerful phone like PoCo F4 for instance and replace the ROM with the dozen ones available, check XDA.

    Know that when you unlock bootloader/replace ROM, you will most likely lose the ability to pay with your phone, or play a cat and mouse game with magisk and addon and google Wallet.

  • Distro suggestions?
  • I'd go with MX Linux for sure, this is a very nice distro, w/o systemd, based on Debian, and using Xfce so it's pretty fast

  • What do you like about your Linux Distro?
  • MX Linux AHS because of xfce, it's fast, stable, use a recent kernel, no systemd.

  • Jasper, Alberta has hundreds of Airbnbs, but not a single place to live | Ricochet
  • Like everywhere... Montreal has hundreds of family in the street, but 13'000 empty condos on airbnb

  • Why is it so lonely in the fediverse
  • True, I think Threads got 10 millions subscribers in 7 hours.

  • The moment Reddit flicked the switch on their API on 2023-07-01, 00:00:00
  • It ended for me and SyncPro. I made my last post on Reddit, and deleted 13 years of comments and posts.

  • 5 and counting
  • I only have 2. I joined Beehaw first and subscribed to a lot of communities, but when Beehaw defederated Lemmy.world I opened an account there to follow some local communities.

    I don't think I need more account as I can follow about whatever instances I want from beehaw

  • Crise du logement | La ministre Duranceau se défend d’être « insensible »
  • C'est normal qu'elle dise ça, à 31 ans elle a acheté sa maison cash 770'000$, elle l'a revendu 2.4 million. Elle vit dans un autre monde que nous, c'est une 1% qu'il faut manger :)
