I'm actually not in the need of a new laptop right now. My current laptop is a Dell gaming laptop (not alienware). It currently has a fan problem, but at the very least, it seems to be repairable.

I honestly, feel in more need of a desktop computer. I actually haven't had one in years. In fact, I never even built one because I was always given laptops as gifts when I needed a new computer, I don't play the latest AAA games so I never felt the need, and the lack of space. But I realize that I feel WAY more productive on a desktop computer than a laptop. However, I'm probably going to build my own desktop if I'm going to get one. I would only consider System76 as they have already mitigated IntelME and flash libreboot (neither which I have ever tried to do before), but I swear their computers are Apple levels of expensive. Even their mini desktops can reach the $1000s.

But I'm also nearing the two year mark on my current laptop and normally something breaks to the point where I can't use it and it is either too difficult (if not impossible) to fix. I'm trying to use this thing for as long as possible though.

Well, given how non-existent the FLOSS scene is in your country, I doubt that's going to change anytime soon. You can try to ask these companies.

Every Zelda clone fan and Genesis/Mega Drive fan keeps on saying that this is a hidden gem, but I don't see why. It's good, but it pales in comparison to Zelda. It's pretty linear (uses the Mario style level select for the overworld), lacks sidequests, and using animal partners in place of items doesn't sound appealing to me at all.

@lanodan @Moon That's just some variation of some shitty Poast (maybe /pol/?) edgelord copypasta.

@ryo That still doesn't change the fact that even those ThinkPads and ToughBooks will inevitably fail. I'm not against using old computers. If you are able to use a 2009 Thinkpad as your daily driver, then that's great.

I also kind of feel obligated to support these alternative hardware manufacturers, so there will still be that option when using old Thinkpads becomes next to impossible (it would probably take decades but still).

Also, think of a scenario where more and more people wake up to what hardware manufactures like HP, Dell, Apple, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, etc are doing and learn that they can just use older computers if they use a lightweight Linux distro. Prices for older computers would skyrocket. I see the same thing happening with used cars now that they are literally putting DRM (with some countries even mandating it) in cars. The only difference with computers is that there aren't that many countries mandating backdoors in computers (yet).

Basically, I just see using older computers as a short-term solution to a long-term problem.

@beardalaxy They're going to keep on creating glowie-ops and keep the flag at half-mast until people start begging to repeal the second amendment.

@terminalautism I know next to nothing about schizophrenia, but I do notice that he seemed much calmer during interviews or in his demonstration videos about his OS. Though in his vlogs and livestreams, it's a different story.

He also only seemed to get truly racist and vulgar when dealing with incompetent people or when people criticize his OS.

>And I don't think it was the medication either, because he was coherent when he was already homeless.

That actually might be the cigarettes. I heard that actually the one health benefit of smoking.

@Indigo The EU might as well be the United States of Europe at this point so that doesn't make things any better.

As for oil, there has been a conspiracy theory going around that the idea that oil is a fossil fuel that is only found in certain areas is just a myth created by the Rockefellers and that it's actually more abundant than we think. If that is true and the secessionist governments find that out, it could help.

And how would we know that these secessionists states aren't controlled opposition? Even at the state and even local level, you see governments trying to achieve those same Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development goals.

@Indigo I can see the lame excuses to prevent it right now.

"Texas want's to separate so they can genocide their trans population."

"If they separate, how are we supposed to achieve our sustainability goals?"

Doing hand-drawn sprites seems to be much easier than I thought. Too bad I can't draw for shit, and using hand drawn graphics while programming your games "from scratch" sounds like a programming nightmare.

Added power-ups which are stored in wooden-crates. Right now, mines and missiles are stored in crates.

@ryo As someone who was raised Catholic, I just find it amusing that someone can claim to talk to God and yet act the way he acts.

Also, Temple OS is a fun operating system to mess around with.

@ryo His word salad reminds me of Terry.
