yea i do check it

>>1756 Good shit >hi candy ass!

>>90 Nope, but I want one mostly for old anime and visual novels.

no because they're overpriced (either literally, or in the form of time spent scrounging and/or repairing) due to candy asss like everybody in this thread, and also because I heard that they rape your eyeballs with x-rays, and also because LCDs are superior due to being easier to carry around and wider that you can see more stuff at once and they're not even fragile I was throwing a giant ball around indoors one time and it hit my monitor full force and I was able to just remove the scratches with a pink eraser still fully operational

>>1756 could link that migu sticker site to lazy to search it up

>>1260 halloy is comfy imho

>>1623 in pidgin passwords are stored in an unencrypted txt file look it up . they are going to fix with the new rewrite of the app tho

In the mesh radio world there is LXMF, which is built on the Reticulum Network Stack. The two apps you can use with it is Sideband for mobile and Meshchat for desktop (it comes with a NomadNet browser too - a pretty comfy web alternative built on LXMF). If you can't reach a destination, it will store the message on a procoolation node nearby or of your choosing then send it to the destination once it's available. Keep in mind every single packet on Reticulum is encrypted so node operators won't be able to read anything. Reticulum is way too autistic for normalfags right now, even more than TOR/I2P so I haven't tried it in the real world yet, though I want to set up my own LoRa node in my area and get my friends to set up their own, that way I don't have to use the internet at all.

>>1652 fuck wordfilter can't even say "prop0gation"

>>1653 it's spelled propagation retard

>>1783 propergaton

While they are still using google-made software, just being "not google chrome" is good enough. You can still be Chromium-based, but as long as you don't ride the meat of google, It's not the google browser. After all, the only real working alternative to either of the two is Ladybird. And we're still waiting on it... Unless you count Safari, and webkit-based browsers, of course.

>>1765 but it is kind of perpetuating the whole google ecosystem making you dependable of a multi million dollar scummy company

Depending on the language you choose, the official guides, documentation and "getting started" might be great to learn. Avoid using tutorials because those usually don't really teach you much other than following steps "now do this, now do that". In terms of practice, you can start with experimentations, exercises, etc, and once you feel comfortable enough you can start programming something that you can make use of. It doesn't have to be something incredible or gigantic regardless of your experience, you can make a project as simple as a small script or an application that does something that you need to be done. Don't worry about "reinventing the wheel" or making a program that already exists because you are making it your way and learning in the process.

i did those game-like courses when i got bored. like uh, codecademy or whatever. i put alot of my kiddie hours into that but i kinda forgot most of it anyway cuz i didnt use it afterwards. But i definitely was proficient in the few months i did do those courses

i learned python first, by making a dicksword bot. it acted as a foundation for lots of different feature ideas you have to learn how to implement, like parsing files, editing images, using apis etc

>>427 I was good at coding, but after a hiatus where I had to learn other stuff, I'm not good coding anymore. Now I just vibe code, because that's better than nothing and gets me to learn what I would have not encountered otherwise, especially if I force the LLM bot to explain wtf did he do.

The best way to learn is by coding. You want to do something and you hit you head against your desk until you achieve it

>>1397 I didnt elaborate I meant to compare business laptop durability and repairability with slimbook's since usually we get refurbished business laptops when we want one of that type

>>1291 I'm personally a fan of my Dell Latitude 5420. I paid 400 USD for 512GB of NVME Storage, Fingerprint reader, 16GB Ram, built-in wifi, pretty good repairability, plus a fuckton of I/O

>>1399 That's the great thing about business laptops like the latitudes and the thinkpads it's very nice

I've been using the Slimbook since it arrived in tuesday and I can conclude that the battery bypass feature is not placebo. The idea is that, once the charge limit is reached, the charging goes straight to the hardware and bypasses the battery to save its lifespan. After intense use of this laptop since tuesday + gaming, the battery cycle count is still at 0!!! I wonder any mainstream brand does this

>>1291 Punched and spilled stuff on my mid 2010s ASUS and it's still working great.

please someone help me

Halo, I have the same model as you but I installed Rockbox on it forever ago, which means I can't remember the specifics of what I did to get it working. I know I got it at a time when the Rockbox website didn't officially support the version of the HiFi Walker H2 that I had, but I got a bootloader for the AIGO Eros QK (same model and firmware version) and it worked with some very minor issues that magically sorted themselves out after a few days. The only problem I've noticed since installing it is that the AIGO Eros firmware replaced the HiFi Walker firmware, but since I only ever boot into Rockbox idc. https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AIGOErosQK#Hosted_Port_Installation_40Manual_41 looks like the page I got the upt from. Hopefull this helps at least a little bit

>>1721 thanks, I also have trouble with themes

Some others you're missing: Mullvad Browser- firefox with secure defaults, operated by Mullvad team. KeepassXC- password manager, can sync database between devices with something like Syncthing. Tutanota- mail service out of Switzerland, supports encryption and auto-deletes accounts after a period of inactivity.

Respectfully hikarin, this list is pretty surface level and many of the options listed are objectively inferior. >duckduckglow >youtuber shilled vpns >proprietary password managers >le meme lion browser Cmon now.

>>1687 Surfshart, Nord, DuckDuckGlow, Brave opinion discarded

all part of a true hacker's basic repertoire
