Never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

You can’t stop the signal, Mal.

I get the snark, but "page has to load in x time on expensive device in expensive city"... where is the human? Your audience isn't a phone.

I know I've said this a lot, but I think about the NHS digital design standards all the time, about that presentation where their lead designer talked about finding agent strings for devices like the Playstation Vita and Opera for the Nintendo DS in their logs. About how the NHS site had to work for those people too, no matter what.

You can care about nutrition and still eat cake at a birthday party.

You can be disciplined and still be fun.

Don’t confuse self-improvement with self-surveillance.

Don’t confuse certainty with wisdom.

And don’t confuse being a dick with courage.

Does anyone know what the battery life of Lunar Lake is like? I'm on an M1 Macbook Pro atm, but I'd _love_ to switch back to Linux. It's just... Hard. Can x86 really offer the all day battery life I get on my Macbook?

On my MBP, I can do full fat coding workloads all day, and hardly ever have to think about charging. I'd love an X1 Carbon, but I'm not sure if it'll give me the battery life... #Linux #ThinkPad #Tech
