I’m partial to OVVO, I tend to be pretty hard on frames (-8 prescription, I can’t not wear glasses), but the two pairs I’ve had have been nigh indestructible- deceptively sturdy especially given how thin and light they are. (Bonus points for not being part of the eyeglass cartel too)
This. A scrum master’s job should be first and foremost making sure that the dev team has what it needs to get real actual work done. Ideally, the scrum master should be face tanking status/ update meeting, coordinating with outside entities, and ensuring that as few distractions make it to the team as possible.
That sounds like a perfectly capable school machine (especially for $250). According to the service manual for that model, it looks like the storage can be upgraded (assuming that you can get your hands on an SSD). There’s no mention of replacing the RAM, so I’d almost bet on that being soldered, but realistically 16gb should be plenty for the use cases you mentioned.
Yeah! I put an order in for it back when it was announced and I think I saw that they’re not far from shipping out (I’m excited!)
I’m also a Kickstarter backer for Olan’s new project Godspeed whenever that gets off the ground. I’m just still bitter and very willing to hold a corporate grudge (it’d take purging the CEO and board before I’d even consider giving them money again).
From the deep Final Space shaped hole in my heart, fuck WB/ Discovery.
I’m of the opinion that claiming media for tax breaks should immediately forfeit IP/ copyright protections and require it to be made available to the public.
So… A Chromebook?
I’m in my late 20’s and while I have a good job and enough cash on hand that I could make a down payment and move out, I’m not sure that I want to… As a US-ian The economy is in pretty rough shape and I’m not sure I want to be tied up in a mortgage when the bubbles start popping. Plus, if I were to uproot myself and move away from my family and friends, I’d almost rather full send it and emigrate to somewhere walkable, where the wrong medical diagnosis isn’t a financial death sentence.
Carol of the Bells absolutely slaps! I’ll very much agree that it’s one of the few Christmas songs I genuinely enjoy.
Sonarqube is a kind of like an automated code quality checker that works for a bunch of programming languages. It’s pretty configurable (though I’ve never configured it myself), so it can be set up to check a code base for a wide range of things.
There’s a couple of different ways to run it, in my experience bigger companies usually have a dedicated server on their internal networks that connects to their CI/CD pipelines so that code gets checked before it gets merged in.
On a smaller scale, it’s also possible to run locally (either on metal or inside a docker container). From there you’d install a plugin to your IDE of choice.

It’s the adjective form of parody.
That said, English is the kind of language where you can absolutely invent words and let context clues fill in the blanks for what the words mean.
Aww schist, here we go again!
Reminds me of the short film Slaughterbots from a while back. 7 years later and it doesn’t seem all that much like fiction anymore…
A solid majority of Bastille’s discography comes to mind, though not as outright depressing as Pumped Up Kicks or Youth of a Nation, most of their tracks tend to be very instrumentally upbeat and lively, with gorgeous vocals, but thematically darker lyrics / topics. Happier comes to mind as immediately fitting the prompt (and having enough radio play to be recognizable), but The Draw, Haunt, and Skulls also fit well (I’d also included their cover of City High’s What Would You Do, also long as being a cover isn’t a immediate disqualifier).
I feel like they’re kind of slept on since they don’t get a whole lot of radio play outside of a handful of songs, but all their other work is just so good. Personal top favorite artist, hands down.
I’ve been rocking a Framework 16 for about a year now and would happily recommend it. It’s a bit more upfront, but I love knowing that I can fix or replace just about anything on it (pretty affordably too). It’s just so refreshing to not have to worry about dumb shit like an obscure power adapter or port forcing my laptop into an early retirement.
It’s not the lightest laptop I’ve ever had, but realistically not all that much different from my last gaming laptop. Now that I’m not a full time student anymore I could probably get away with one of the smaller models, but the form factor is pretty nice.
Overall, no major complaints!
The blue/ silver is very striking, I’m excited!
I’m not in a place where I can compare it to the artists you’ve mentioned, but maybe check out Ben Prunty? He’s got a bunch of stuff in his catalogue (including an album that’s meant to be on the darker side), but I think he’s most known for the FTL soundtrack, which I’d probably describe as space, but pensive and curious.
Right? I tried to switch my primary computer (framework laptop) to Linux earlier this year and ended up going back to windows after I had absolute nightmares with my type-c KVM. Coupled with performance issues while gaming (and the absolute hassle of having to force games to use my graphics card). Add in whatever random issues I was getting trying to remote into other windows machines on my domain (for CAD work). My day job is in software engineering/ programming, so I’m not exactly a stranger to digging through documentation and fixing computer issues, but spending time fixing my computer instead of using it got old pretty quick.
Perfectly happy with Linux in my HomeLab and on my steamdeck though!
Got a PineTime for Christmas and so far been very pleased with it. I found the PineTimeStyle watchface and it’s been a bit like coming home to Pebble, but I do miss the wide array of watchface choices and effortless customization.
Dungeon Crawler Carl has to be one of my top two favorite reads in the last year (I’d give it the top spot, but Red Rising was also really good)! It’s a struggle to convey just what makes it so good, but it’s been a fantastic ride. I can’t wait for the next book in May!
