I’m thinking of picking up a used ThinkPad on eBay for cheap to serve as my daily driver. I’ll likely run LMDE, and primarily use it for web browsing, office programs, coding, and FreeCAD. Any recommendations on which model would best hit the sweet spot of capability vs price?
I’ve smoked like 50g per month for the past few years and reduced by quite a lot now, and I only started to dream again once I did that. I feel like the thing about having no dreams is only really true if you smoke excessive amounts. How much do you smoke?
Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don’t think that helps with this issue either....
The only peripheral I have on there is a USB mouse with no media buttons, and the laptop lid is closed so I doubt it’s hardware causing this, but a good idea nonetheless
I recently installed Linux mint ane was unpleasantly surprised that it is virtually impossible on every desktop environment, as opposed to Ubuntu on which it required very little.

I have friends who are Afghan who have had arranged marriages so this led me to be curious to ask, why does this practice still persist into the 21st century?
But then it’s still just arranged dating at best. Maybe the parents look for someone who is interested in entering a marriage in the first place, but that doesn’t make it an arranged marriage IMO.
Yes, language is subjective, cool that you seem to be learning that today. So no argument as to why it would actually be an arranged marriage, despite the described scenario not necessarily ending in a marriage?
Yes you did, and when you said that, you implied that “arranged marriage” could also mean getting help with dating. You never mentioned dating explicitly, but how else do you think your original comment should be interpreted?
You’re getting personal now, which is a telltale sign for someone who has no arguments for the point they are trying to make.
I mean I’m aware that this isn’t like western dating but it’s still not an arranged marriage. Saying that this is an arranged marriage is like having your parents pick out a hairdresser and calling it a haircut.
Yeah I just started using Linux half a year ago and tried a few distros and DEs, but GNOME “disks” is just the easiest way to set up auto mounting and is available on any package manager I came across so far.
To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...

Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.
hot take?...
