New laptop time. Thinkpad recommendations?
  • I recommend the same. For OP's use case, it's the best bang for your buck by far.

  • Blood donations have fallen to catastrophic levels. Experts say young people need to step up.
  • That's always a risk. I give blood about 6 times a year and that's only happened to me once over the last 3 years.

  • Frodo gets cancelled
  • You're confusing Cate Blanchet with Gwyneth Paltrow.

  • Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS - Ars Technica
  • If you don't use suspend mid game, what do you do? Do you shut the device down in between gaming sessions? Or do you just save and exit the game and suspend the OS level?

  • Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS
  • I don't understand how that's a problem. Can you go into a little bit more detail about what you think the consequences might be to manufacturers choosing to use Steam OS or some other Linux operating system on their handheld devices?

  • If you go home with somebody, and they don’t have books, don’t sleep with them
  • I know you're joking but it's absolutely possible to love books even when most may be unread. Umberto Eco sings the praises of the so-called "anti-library" here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/umberto-eco-antilibrary/

  • Gaming Linux Nobara 39 released as a complete package with Steam Deck OLED support
  • I assume it's a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.

  • How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?
  • It doesn't. I'm not really interested in multi-player games of any kind. Partly because I don't have the time to git gud, and partly because my gaming interest is primarily getting lost in a narrative world.

  • Could a Large Language Model Be Conscious? Within the next decade, we may well have systems that are serious candidates for consciousness.
  • Why not? Ethical or moral values have about as much bearing on the scientific outcome as how attractive the researchers are.

  • Does anybody else look forward to aging?
  • In my 30s I was pretty sure I had come to terms with my eventual death. Then I contracted a serious virus that caused my body temperature to begin dropping rapidly. That combined with an intense nausea led to a direct and unmistakable confrontation with mortality. I was not ready and I was terrified. I experienced the visceral knowledge that I was on the precipice of losing everything I knew or cared about. I was, and remain, humbled by death. Because of that experience I tend to be skeptical when others say they are prepared for death.

  • anime_irl
  • Great anime. Manga is good too.

  • Western consumer culture is creating a psycho-spiritual crisis that leaves us disoriented and bereft of purpose. How can we treat our sick culture and make ourselves well?
  • Despite the common perception that religion seeks to answer mankind's questions about life and death, in reality, religion is the practice of engaging with the ineffable, with a mystery that has no solution. This is a fundamentally different function than that of political ideology.

  • Removed
    A large-scale study confirms that fructose intake can lead to obesity, just like in hibernating animals, CU Researchers say.
  • Yes. It contains fiber and micro nutrients that gummy worms will not have. Skip the juice though. Drink water instead.

  • what movie/show made you think "WTF did I just watch?"
  • I went into it knowing nothing. That ending was viscerally shocking.

  • Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone
  • I remember when that flip clock widget was everywhere. You couldn't get away from it. I think those originated from HTC.
