Perhaps try installing it natively with the package manager in the OS instead of with flatpak.

I'm starting to warm up to flatpaks but the one place I think they really don't make sense is core OS stuff which I think is the case here.

I'm not saying it wouldn't work as flatpak, but I just think it would be better integrated if you install it directly in the OS, and I don't see much need for sandboxing a shim like that.

Cathy?

I see that you're not interested in actual discourse and instead are just looking to be petty.

So I'll assume you're also not arguing in good faith either, so I'll just add some downvotes and move on.

So we shouldn't house them unless and until we figure out all of the complex issues? They're not going to benefit any at all, or have any possibility of getting on their feet, until we have a perfect solution?

That's what's being said there: homelessness is not something we should do anything about, because of reasons. So let's do nothing.

That's a fucking cop out.

Even if that is true, does it somehow invalidate the fact that they are also homeless?! Are they less deserving to be out of the elements because they have an addiction?

That's what I find so disgusting about this statement. It's just an excuse and doesn't address anything at all.

Using his own "argument", it would seem to me that a path to less addiction and violence would involve having a place to live and sleep.

I don't know if this was true at some point, but this is definitely a false statement today.

I have a Framework 16 w/o dGPU and it is perfect. It has long battery life, awesome performance, and has no thermal issues at all. Then there's all the features which I don't think I need to get into here. But I will call out support for lvfs/fwupdmgr; it's great and in line with what I have seen with Dell and Lenovo.

This is my forever laptop

I just checked again and you're right! The app seems to now be available for older versions of WebOS whereas it wasn't a year ago or so.

Thanks for the heads up!

Jellyfin didn't have an app for my then 3-year old LG WebOS TV so, unfortunately, I couldn't use it.

I know people are going to say I should just use a smart box connected to my TV instead of my TV's smart features, but there's a difference in usability that they're not acknowledging.

Definitely has a sense of humor about himself. See Jean-Claude Van Johnson for some good fun.

"Sphere"

That pronunciation ... like WTF ... did word inventors just figure we had totally exhausted the sound combinations that we could splice together?!

You're being downvoted, but you're not wrong. At least in the case of the Ethernet module, which most people aren't going to leave plugged in most of the time.

The utility in the ports being modular is more so in the initial configurability at purchase rather than swapping them out by the user on a regular basis.

But having a laptop with 4/6 USB-C is pretty nice. Add on the fact that my dongles don't dangle and it is even cooler.

I disagree on the comment about cost disparity. Spec'd equivalently, even the Framework 16 (without GPU) is no more expensive than the smaller ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The more comparative Framework 13 even less so.

The modular ports (and GPU on the 16) are a nice bonus, but I agree that the largest attraction is for the tinkerer.

I think the fact that it is easily upgradable makes it a clear winner on the merits alone.

 

I invested way more time in designing this then I should have, but the original was brittle and breaking and I didn't want this slice of early Internet to disappear into a landfill.
