• I bought a used X1 carbon gen 9 and loved it, then it pooped itself after 2 years. Went to the closet and pulled out the old gen 2 I also got off ebay once again. Linux breathed new life into it and now it has more power than ever before.

    It is the grass and dirt people should be worried about. The old gen X1s take no shit.

  • Man, your basement has the weirdest carpet I’ve ever seen. Also, much too bright for my taste. If you can see the keycaps without backlight, you’re doing the lighting wrong.

  • I wouldn’t want to put the air intakes of my Thinkpad directly on the grass like that. It’s bound to suck in dirt.

  • I honestly do not get why “touch grass” became a common phrase/meme around a decade after many people got mobile Internet access (through smartphones).

    Before that, it would have made sense because you’d usually only be posting on the Internet when you’re somewhere inside where there’s a computer; but now that we can literally be posting online while lying on grass?! How did this happen?

  • 6 hours

    They create visible drought conditions and tell you to touch grass, what does that tell you? #hitthehay #indoors

  • I actually installed grass on my pc yesterday. But qgis sadly doesn’t find it. I’ll look into it when I find the time.

    And now an obligatory:

    $ touch grass
    
    • The nerd inside me automatically wants to correct that to

      $ > grass
      

      That avoids starting up one addidtional process.

      (Unless the file already exists, and you just want to update its mtime, of course.)

      • Couldn’t you just use

        $ >> grass
        

        Or does that not change the mtime?

        Anyway, neither of those two is touching grass.
