There is a distinction between an app and a site. An application has many partial state updates. Two updates is uncommon for an app. Way different for a website where people ideally land on the right page from a search engine. There is a place for an SPA but it’s not everything.
We tend to stick with an SPA even for things which are mainly reads because we’re more efficient in a single tech stack. Sadly we don’t have big tech budgets to do everything. In theory the JS SPA backend can simply run in the backend if there’s no need for an SPA. I had thought hydration and caching to have gotten way better by now but there’s still a good way to go.


Having experimented with this a lot, I’d say it depends :P
Keyboard only you can get by with 5fps or so, but there’s no real feedback at that point.
15fps is ok and quite usable. Artifacts are the more annoying thing at that rate. 30fps is really more then necessary (though I agree higher is nice on lcd displays).
What bothered me most is the limited contrast, pixel density and limited amount of colors on color eink display.


I did not touch Windows during or after my CS degree. No clue what people are on about needing Windows. It was a challenge on my first job where they preferred us to use VMs instead (I did not and it became the norm because it is better).
Graduated in Europe. We had a bunch going through the same. Campus computers were running Linux too. You need someone to champion it in the year and others will join.


Framework makes it their point but also charges for it. Some big make laptops also allow to upgrade parts.
But lets not forget Linux specific laptops. They generally allow upgrading ram and storage. Slimbook even sold me a newer (but also new) keyboard when mine gave up after 5 years or so. Most parts seem to be available still.
Some brands to look for in this group are Tuxedo, bto, slimbook, starbook. Clevo might work too.


You could provide a (separate) email address for that and hope spam detection is good enough. You can use <a href="mailto:me@example.com?subject=Direct mail message from PAGE">mail me</a> to have them open their mail client. It is wise to provide the address visually too and you might ask them to include something in the subject so you can filter out mailing list spam easily.


Could we mark the description of these actions hidden, nsfw or at least add a warning? It is far too brutal.


Thanks for posting. I did not know this history and it was very interesting.

This was a really good suggestion. I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you.
jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure.
Looks like they wanted Clojure to have a smaller runtime.


We run Taiga and it seems to work fine.
If you want to link to external sources in a structured way and you don’t mind tweaking the looks, SolidOS (ot another SOLID app) has a task list/tracker.
I keep my personal tasks in org-mode or org-roam.


I own this. It is horrible. If the specs were real it would be great, but the specs are not real. It is a 3k black and white monitor with a fixed color filter over it. That means you need 3x3 pixels to resemble a color.
I consider it a scam from Dasung.
Boox on the other hand made a sane black and white display. Much better. I own a Max 2 Pro. Sadly they fail to understand that when you report a display as 20px smaller than it really is over an HDMI port and then rescale the image of the computer display on that, that it becomes really uncrisp. Their suggestion is to use the display with 200% scaling (so you don’t notice as much I suppose).
Epaper is really promising and nice. However both of these companies should either get some real competition or lawsuits.


noisetorch does an ok job for video conferences and works on your speaker (easier on you) and on your microphone (easier on them). We often use it to limit keyboard noise during meetings.


I have since tried to browse Lemmy on it a few times. The lack of emitted light and terrible color rendition make it more boring. I guess that’s the point, a more boring device. Pictures are a problem due to dithering and bad color rendition.

Updated my comment to reflect this. Thanks for clearing out the confusion.


There is a standard connector which existed before big screens landed in cars, the OBD2 connector. Dongles are cheap and you can read the output from your phone or computer. Some dongles support bluetooth. The connector is mandated in some markets and I guess that makes it less interesting to add a redundant interface inside of the car. It’s fun to try if you’re interested. Manufacturers can extend the error codes IIRC.
Tesla has a service mode on the display through which you can scan the car for faults, run a battery test, … It is password protected but the password is publicly available.
Naah it’s ok. Rigged elections are akin to saying something awful you didn’t mean when someone pissed you off. Can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube, they say. But at some point you do have to clean it up and take another tube lest your teeth will rot.
The camera is heated so that should not be the biggest problem. I don’t think they have the software to make it work.
I have not had obstacle detection work on the other modules aside from a person being nearby being detected. With that feature you will not see it working from close by, but it will destroy children’s toys, drive over poop, destroy its own antennas by driving under tables, drive against tractors, …
It could be capable one day but not with this software (team).
