Did you get the grass’ consent before you touched it?

I’m using pywebview, a cross-platform python web view GUI framework. I like it so far, it’s fairly straightforward. I just wanted a python API around my database, and I’m building most of the app in the front-end with vanilla JS and html.

I didn’t want the (alleged) bloat of electron, and I didn’t want to jam async/await onto everything in the backend, so I found this alternative.

The 3rd contender was Tauri, but I didn’t want to bother learning Rust for a simple API. But it was very tempting, and Tauri is an option you should consider.

I haven’t finished my current project so I can’t completely vouch for pywebview yet. But so far it’s great and I recommend it if you don’t mind using python (I do long for a statically typed backend TBH).

One does not “find” a Brit. They only appear when they want to be seen.

I don’t get it and yet I’m amused?

Fair.

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

I’ve heard that newer Ryzens play nicer with Linux.

That SNES is kn great condition. Also, I loved Spectre!

These are fair warnings but increasingly exaggerated toward the end. Ubuntu will work just fine with a minimum of “getting basic things to work.”

The most important item in the list is that proprietary software is often just better, and not available on Linux, and wine sucks.

I suggest Ubuntu. It’s heavily managed and takes care of basic stuff. I’ve heard the same about Fedora but I never used it.

sentient_loom,

Linux runs great on most hardware. What you described will function fine with a 4-year old laptop or desktop with integrated graphics as long as you have a decent processor (i5/i7 or ryzen 7) and enough RAM (16BG) and an ssd. Two ssds, one for OS and the other for storage is also a good idea.

I suggest ubuntu.

Side note: for photo editing, GIMP or Krita are the go-to apps but neither offer good CMYK color space of you’re printing stuff.

The solution is to eat real food.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can just eat cans of soup or stew. You are absolutely not forced to eat these disgusting plates of shit.

It’s extremely easy to never eat hungry man dinners. I don’t need to exhaustively describe every possible meal lol

I love my T16 gen1. The P16 is more upgradable but also much more expensive. But basically yeah, you just have to pick the right model and specs.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

On the T16 I have one soldered RAM slot and one replaceable. Of course the SSD can be upgraded too.

The P16 (not the P16s which is just a T16) has four upgradable RAM slots and two slots for SSD.

So that’s not crazy amounts of upgradability but it’s something.

I actually got a Legion Pro 5 instead because it’s a lot cheaper but still has 2 upgradable RAM slots and two SSD slots. My only complaint is that the keyboard is less stable than on a thinkpad and it looks like a gaming laptop.

Someday I’ll get a P16 though… or else one of those Eurocom laptops, if only they had 16:10 screens and nice keyboards.

I’ve never had a linux setup demand that I change my password. Is this a feature of gnome?

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

Yeah I use a Mac at work and it’s actually amazing. Lots of stuff runs the same as in linux.

sentient_loom,

Now I just have to find a startup… any suggestions?

He thinks he’s criticizing Trudeau but it just makes him look metal.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

He doesn’t. He’s pretending that Trudeau creates drugs, chaos, and disorder. But he just accidentally made Trudeau look like a heavy metal band.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

He’s actually blaming Trudeau for creating those things, but the post is just hilariously evil and fun, making Trudeau look like some kind of cartoon villain.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

So delete it.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Again, simply delete it if you hate it.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah go straight to the source.

sentient_loom,

Nope

Agreed. Violence is precisely the problem.
