That desk with 3 monitors too close to the keyboard and face give me some agony. Seems like they’re trying to engulf me. For me, the advantage of a desktop is being able to put both the keyboard and monitor at a comfortable distance, what I can’t do with laptops. But well, maybe that’s the comfortable distance for the one uses that machine.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addictionEnglish
6·3 days agoThe mere fact that it leaves no time to do other, essential, things in life in a healthy pattern, is enough to disprove his argument
Getting information from the internet can be sometimes more confusing than helpful, so I will try to be short and not send you far away
- There’s no need to switch devices. One of the great things of open source is that it’s more efficient and won’t do planned obsolescence on your hardware. Try it, and you will be amazed to what your “old” laptop and phone are truly capable of.
- Distrohopping happens to some people, but part of it is a meme. If you like the one you’re using, it’s fine, no need to try anything else, unless you want and have time to experiment new ones. It’s up to you
- The distros you mentioned are fine. I’d recommend the one you feel more familiar with. The proprietary elements are usually minor things and can be avoided. It’s not something to be worried
- For the phone, ghapheneos might be the “gold standard”, but /e/os is great too. You can use it with peace of mind if it’s available to your device. If it’s not available, lineageos can be another nice option
- You can backup your data preferably to an external device, install the os in your laptop’s internal storage, then copy things to it
My advice is to not overthink it. Try what you feel comfortable with, make the change in steps, instead of all at once, so you can get used to, and enjoy the freedom

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can you install linux on a Aspire es 15 es1-533-c27uEnglish
5·5 days agoI once had a problem because the sata mode was set by default to some weird mode that only windows would work on, so I had to change it to ahci. Might be worth checking for it in the bios/uefi menu.
Indeed, archaeology is created all the time. I just did an archaeological work a couple of days ago, when I decided to tidy my room

Really? My mind seems to be playing tricks on me already…
Wasn’t it already a known fact? I swear I’ve read about it already like 5 years ago, and I’m not a time traveler.
Be careful. People are so dumb that they might misread or misinterpret it and create some hoax

Technology@lemmy.zip•Some potentially interesting data: horses per capita in the U.S. and ChinaEnglish
2·16 days agoThat’s one case where the absolute numbers will be more meaningful and the per capita won’t give much information. China has a greater population, and this dilutes the horses per capita number, and any variation like the increase in the USA curve in the 2000s or the overall decline in the China curve becomes ambiguous without looking at the population data.
