I have had two Lenovo models as my last two laptops, including the one I’m on now which is a Yoga 9i. I have buyers remorse so much for both of these and stupidly got pulled in by low prices and a long list of features. They’re slow, unupgradable, both had issues where i needed to send them back for repair as they turned off randomly which was very frustrating with lots of lost work, and then lots of time without the laptop…

I think after thinkpads their overall quality has hit the pan

There’s 23 pages of people with these issues and very little support from Lenovo on this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-S-Series-ThinkPad-Yoga-and-Twist-Laptops/Lenovo-Yoga-9i-keeps-freezing/m-p/5087025 And another 3 pages here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Yoga-Series-Notebooks/Laptop-randomly-turns-off/m-p/3840927?page=3

Was your project folder synced via nextcloud?? I had a similar issue arise with my projects folder being deleted and not in the trash bin etc, can only think nextcloud was the culprit as I had removed the folder from my server and default behaviour must be to replicate that removal locally.

can dig through this see if you fancy anything https://www.papercutzinelibrary.com/virtual-library

There was one for hacking/security zines also that I’ve stumbled across before, can’t remember the name of it now though unfortunately

what’s the benefits of being federated for code?

op did mention they tired of xfce

live image is a great shout. you could ventoy to boot into the different images as quick as possible

I love the swipey gesture workflow on gnome on the laptop

weird ux but you have to hold your phone upside down when you long press it

this is pretty disgusting even for Facebook

can other mods reappoint you?

You should reopen privacy but a la /r/pics and only allow posts about laptop privacy screens and laptop privacy screen reviews and top 10 laptop privacy screens etc. for some malicious compliance.

Find it hilarious that the article itself didn’t utilise this, what a missed opportunity!

I tried searching for top 10 eyelash extension brands for dogs on lemmy and it didn’t find anytthing pfft

In my navigation of the fediverse the last few days I’ve noticed a few people running instances of mastodon and lemmy with just themselves or 1 or 2 other people etc.

If you into tinkering and selfhosting, why not :D Means you’re in full control of what other instances you federate with/can see etc.

We’re all learning dude :D I just played around with the fork, broke it, reverted it, played around again etc. until it worked nicely to be honest.

Nice work dude! I forked and tweaked and put together a Firefox and Chrome addon which does something similar with adding icons. You can see from the screenshots on the readme. It’s pending being accepted in the stores but you can build it and load it manually for now if you want.

Do you want to work together on something like this and see if we can add some cool features?
