Curious, what didn’t you like about Matrix specifically? I’m in the process of evaluating it for my friends. With the Element client, so far it seems pretty dang similar? Space = server, room = channel, there are also access controls. Seems like there’s voice and video chats too.
https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ With the Element client, it’s a pretty close experience to Slack/Discord.
Physical books! I want to fully own my books not have them be locked by some asshole company. It’s also just nicer to read paper instead of a screen. It’s also easier to carry around a small book instead of a bigger tablet and having to deal with charging yet another device.
I mean, I’m pretty happy with mine! 10/10 would recommend!
The known issue with HiDPI displays, like the one Framework chose, is that apps are blurry. Other laptops, like Thinkpad or XPS, offer low DPI displays which avoid this issue altogether. The irony is that a HiDPI display is supposed to look better than a low DPI display, but the scaling issues actually make it look worse.
In addition, the experimental flags required to “fix” the scaling issues with apps can also break these apps.

In summary, HiDPI displays have a long history of making your display look worse and limiting the apps you can use. Thinkpad or XPS with low DPI don’t require you to only use Ubuntu or Fedora or only KDE. Linux support on the Framework is held back by the poor choice of display.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk. 🙏
Exactly! All I want is a nice display in 2024—and Framework chooses a garbage display with known issues.
Framework’s fault for poorly choosing a display with known issues.
The irony is that my old “low res” laptop looks sharp and crisp while “high res” looks blurry. My old laptop doesn’t require me to give up my distro of choice (Arch btw), doesn’t require me to give up apps I like, and doesn’t require me to spend days applying workarounds that ultimately don’t even completely solve the problem.
It has everything to do with the hardware. This specific piece of hardware is not as compatible as a regular DPI display.
These problems only exist because of this poor hardware choice on Framework’s part.
Let me guess… You’re running an X.Org based WM/DE?
Na, using Wayland with Gnome 45. 1.25x scale actually looks less blurry than 2x. (Putting aside that 2x is ridiculously large.)
The best way to combat this?
Is to buy a laptop with a regular DPI display and avoid this class of bugs altogether. This way I can keep using Discord and 1Password.
I’ve always assumed this was a variation of the pro police brutality flag that Republicans like. I don’t think I’ve met any non-Republicans with these flag designs.
The right answer is use a password manager to generate and store a long password. Then it doesn’t matter.
I recently got a Kia with Android Auto and my Tesla-driving brother is jealous that I can use Google Maps on a big screen, with no extra car mount.
I only pay for 2 subscriptions: 1Password for families (and Spotify)
I have 236 logins… No way I’m gonna create secure and memorable passwords for that many sites.
I use 1Password on Linux and Android.
And not taste like bleach Oh, yeah! I tend to order water in restaurants and I’ve definitely had some bleachy gross tasting water before… probably from the tap?
I’m in the US. I don’t know too many people that drink directly from the tap. Almost everyone I know passes the water through a filter first.
Although, technically, I think the water is safe to drink. My city sends little informational cards saying how they’ve tested the water and it should be good to drink straight from the tap.
I think we in the US scare easy, so I’m guessing Big Water Bottle and Big Filter have brainwashed us into being scared to drink straight from the tap.
I personally don’t like it, but I respect their right to do whatever the fuck they want with their property. If they want a fugly house, then that’s their right.
Huh. This is kinda weird… but I think I’m done protesting Reddit. It’s not that I approve of any changes, but rather… I’m happy here on Lemmy? Protesting would kind of imply that I want to go back to Reddit and I think I might be good here…
As more of us move to Lemmy, the less push back you’ll see on Reddit cuz we’re all over here. I guess that’s expected.
I totally binged Alan Wake 1 in like 2 days. Then spent a while enveloped by Alan Wake 2! Part 2 really got the AAA treatment. It was funny, spooky, actiony. Lots of stuff to explore, the characters play differently.
I also didn’t realize Control was part of the story, so now I gotta go play that!
