Tomorrow is the first day of pride month and to celebrate, I think it’s time to remove celebration of corporate allyship (did they ever ACTUALLY care anyway or only want our money?) and go back to the roots.

Pride is a party!

Pride is a riot!

Pride is a rejection of shame and an embracing of wholeness. 🥰

So happy early pride to everyone who isn’t performing it as a show, but is actively living and loving their full being along with that of others! 🥳

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥰🙏

PSA

There is a story circulating “Trump administration hires plalantir to make a database that spies on every American.”

This was made up by the New York Times. There is no evidence other than a contract for database services or whatever the fuck, which happens every week, that is literally what Palantir does.

It could be something, but also Eriner could be trans. There is not much of a reason to elevate either hypothesis.

It doesn't matter, even if true. They have it, they know how to get it, they build layers on top of it.

Same in banking, same in insurance.

@eriner @Richard

Yes and selective service, but the administration is publicly dissatisfied with those databases. It’s all shit mainframe tech.

They’re probably going to replace the mainframes with something that also prevents fraud.

This of course causes Dems to flip their shit, poop into their hands and throw the poop at the McDonald’s cashier, because the fraud pays their DC mansion mortgage

NovaCustom Website: configurelaptop.eu/

NovaCustom is from the Netherlands, and they're specialized in laptops, you won't find desktop PCs in here. They put the focus on customization of your laptop to your exact specifications, they ship Linux out of the box, and they use coreboot.

They offer 3 years of warranty, and they guarantee spare parts availability for your device up to 7 years after your purchase.

They have 14 inches, 15 inches and 17 inches, the cheapest they have is 749€, and the most expensive goes up to 3900 euros but that's with all the options ticked

Of course, you can change the specs, but you can also add you own logo, you can change the boot logo, you can engrave the palm rest, you can pick between Windows and Linux, or you can ask them to create a dual boot.

You can choose yo use your own keyboard layout, in ANSI or ISO, change the look of the super key, change keyboard illumination, ask to completely remove the mic and webcam...

Framework goes further, since you can even replace the entire motherboard and keep the whole chassis, keyboard, panel, webcam and ports. They don't have as many models and sizes though, and until the 16 inch model releases, you're not getting any dedicated GPU options, and you're limited to 13 inches.

Novacustom is more about customization, repairability, and allowing users access to their own hardware, where Framework is more about keeping the exact same device, and making it modular, and allowing complete upgrades.

In terms of price range, Framework will be a little bit more expensive than NovaCustom for the same configurations, but they do have better panels, and newer CPU options, plus Ryzen options that Novacustom don't currently offer.

My review unit is the NS51 series, their mid range laptop. In terms of build quality, it feels very rigid, the hinge is super solid. The whole thing is pretty heavy, 1.7 kilos, and it's quite sturdy.

The only real issue I can see is the position of the power button, next to a USB port

All the spare parts are accessible for up to 7 years after your purchase, and they give you a complete service manual.

My review unit came with a core i7 1260P. In terms of I/O, on the right, you get gigabit ethernet, the ill placed power button, one USB 2 port, a micro SD card reader, and on the right, you have your barrel charger, an HDMI port, a USB 3.0 port, and 1 thunderbolt 4 and 1 type C 3.1 Gen 2 port. You can charge the laptop using USB C.

This laptop came with coreboot, with Dasharo firmware.

In terms of performance, the CPU gets a more than honorable 2498 in single core, and 7450 in multi core. As per battery life, this chip is relatively power efficient, it lasts for about 7 hours at mid brightness, wifi on, watching youtube videos in a loop.

Now let's look at the various things this laptop comes with. The display is 15.6 inches, 1080p, 16:9, 300 nits of brightness. It covers 98% of SRGB.

As per input, the keyboard feels pretty good to type on. They keys have good travel, they bounce back well, it doesn't feel mushy for a membrane keyboard, and it sounds pretty good. It's a good keyboard.

The touchpad is decent, it doesn't feel like glass, but it's smooth enough, large enough, and it feels precise. It did wobble a little bit and you can feel that when just using tap to click.

Now, the webcam is the usual potato quality fare, it's 720p.

The microphone is the same, it will be suitable for short video conferences, but it makes you sound distant.

And finally, the speakers, they're your average fare.

In the backstory bible for the world in which most of my stories take place, I have a thing called "The Blight". It is an agent of Oblivion and serves to bring all of reality back to absolute zero, no heat, no light, no movement, no time. It undoes creation.
But I'm left unable to name its opposite. What do you call everywhere, everywhen, every thought, every color, infinitely bright and hot, teeming with immortal life?
What's the opposite of a naked singularity?
Ubiquity?
Omnilarity?
What do you call the thing that starts The Big Bang?
What is the first tick of forward in time called?

I don't even know what hashtags to put on this but it's appreciate any suggestions for terms to use.
I know you must pass through The Gleam to find it but The Gleam is not of it. The Gleam is the shining world while what lies beyond is blazing.

Climate inaction is causing glacier collapse. In this case the entire village of Blatten was wiped off the map. Huge implications for fresh water supplies too and life on the planet more generally.

" If global warming does not stay within the 1.5C rise agreed in the Paris climate accord, glaciologists believe most of Switzerland’s glaciers will be gone by the end of this century."

Hey Mastodon,

I need a big favor. My friend @Aseelsehwel lives in Gaza, & she & her brother are currently trying to raise money to feed their family, care for their father who is suffering from kidney complications, & eventually leave Gaza for Egypt. They are a family of 6 & it looks like their estimated costs to cover everything would be $50,000.00. So far they are at $30,360.00, can we try to get them over the finish line?
