I recently picked up a Dell latitude 7300 for less than $300usd. It has two sodimm slots (supports 32gb) and up to 1TB SSD. I’m pretty happy with it although it’s a touch older than the x1 carbon gen8. The 7400 is slightly larger with a 14” display and is the same generation otherwise.

I’m running Linux mint on it and haven’t tried your specific distro.

I did this - mine is a few years old (Dell latitude 7300) for roughly $225usd. It’ll drive my 4K monitor ok, came with 16gb ram (and is user upgradable to 32). I don’t develop on it intensely but I would feel comfortable doing so outside of an immense project. I’m happily running mint on it and everything works smoothly.

Thanks for sharing. I think it’s an interesting way to approach life. I’ve found myself trying to get the most out of life by scheduling my free time so I can make sure I’m not wasting time. It broke down for me when I’d find myself not wanting to do that thing and then feeling guilty about wasting my time instead of acknowledging it’s ok to take time to make sure I’m in a good space.

I’m not at the “don’t need a vacation” phase but it’s a great idea to consider so thank you!

I didn’t know about this community on Reddit. My move to Lemmy came with a long dislike for the world of Reddit. As a result I’ve closed my remaining standard social media accounts (or plan to access once a week to make sure I’m not forgetting anything before closing). My discovery of this community was well timed with my interest in reducing my stuff, stress, and tech.

Mine arrived on June 16. I requested a day or two before the AMA

Oh I hadn't connected those dates together. Certainly it could have been part of his vision. It could be a very interesting world if FaceTime was available on other operating systems. Who knows what else may have come with it.

I remember this and thought I was crazy. There was an article linked somewhere on Lemmy last week that addressed this. It seemed like it was a Steve Jobs special - no one knew he was going to promise that. Subsequently, they got tangled up in a patent dispute with someone who owned a very vague communications protocol patent. That outcome has been appealed, from both sides, in courts basically since then.

I saw this two weeks ago. I had a few days where I thought I was going crazy because there was no "log in" link in the header, just a more obnoxious "open the app" button instead. After a few days I did see the log in button again, but I had already accepted the fact that I'd only be allowed to use their mobile app and convinced myself I'd close my account (which I subsequently did two weeks later)

I'm using a pi-hole on my network and I added reddit to the 'blocked list' to cut down on myself clicking the links. I should find a way to filter out the links from my search results easily, but this works for now.

I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.

For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers for me.

Good advice. Mine came from a broken filament at the extruder. When I backed it out, the new end swung around and into the spinning fan. Not my favourite moment.

I am on iOS myself. I actually just use the built in reader. I just saved it to my home screen (PWA). Icon on Home Screen. Opens a browser view. Simple and didn’t need another app.
