Ukraine. Of course, it could just be a local thing since it depends on your social circle. But the things my parents told me make total sense to me.

I’ve asked many people who were born in the USSR, and I think about half of them feel that the shit we’ve had since then is way worse.

It wasn’t perfect by any means, but I think we should have improved it with reforms instead of splitting into poor countries and giving all the power to oligarchs.

Interesting observation!

Honestly, I’d buy a phone with RK3588S, but $1,300 is overkill. I’d rather much prefer to downscale other specs to make it around 400-500$.

Here is the comparison with Tensor G4.

RK3588S is a bit slower then Snapdragon 865, which is 5 year old.

I think RK3588S is nowhere near Pixel 9 CPU.

Awesome progress! What Linux phones do you use?

I have a PinePhone Pro, but it’s quite low-end…

Great news, I also found Plamo a bit sluggish in the past! Will give it a go!

Welcome aboard!

Never got a virus or at least I don’t know about it 😅 But always install packages from official repositories or AUR (but I usually inspect PKGBUILDS for unpopular stuff).

I use Neovim, love their Lua direction.

Yep, and for anyone who curious why it’s not actually decentralized, I highly suggest to read this thread from someone who worked on ActivityPub:

I heard good things about lemmus.org

Won’t they just replace one CEO with another and increase their security?

I think for proper defense we need to unite against them.

Not defending the CEO, just saying that killing him won’t solve the actual problem :(

On Mastodon in settings you need to enable your account discoverability. Otherwise people will see you only if they know about you. This is weird default and my main complain about Mastodon :(

Mostly sculpting, less rendering. So yeah, we aren’t GPU bound. Right now considering just a mini PC. Should be cheaper then a latpop since we don’t planning to work on the go, just need something portable. And a tablet for drawing.

That’s exactly what I planning to use on travel 😅

I don’t planning to work on the go, just wanted a portable PC.

We are considering just a portable PC for her and a tablet for drawing right now…

Thanks for the suggestion, eGPU sounds nice!

We don’t planning to actually work on the go, just planning to travel a lot. eGPU could be considered portable. Maybe we even don’t need a laptop, just a mini PC 🤔

Didn’t know about them, cool!

First time hear about it, but sounds very cool!

I’d actually recommend you to consider the whereabouts of the respective support centers before you buy a device

Totally agree, I take this into consideration. Tuxedo is very attractive to me because we planning to visit Germany personally. But I will take a look at NovaCustom as well since it’s in EU.

From Star Labs their StarLite tablet looks very attractive. Right now I considering buying a tablet for drawing and a laptop for 3D modeling instead of 2-in-1.

Agree! That’s why we are looking for something for a manufacturer support. We don’t consider used market only because thinking about something powerful.

I have a SteamDeck and very satisfied with how GNU/Linux runs on it. Windows even run worse on it 😅

Thanks, will take a look!

We looked for convertible because planning to travel a lot. But judging by what others say, it’s probably better to have a dedicated device for drawing…
