So, I decided to install Linux on that thing. Since Fedora 41was just released, I decided to go for that, with the beta to be precise, it wasn't officially out when I started making this video.
I decided to just apply the basic updates to the distro, and not even look at firmware updates first, just to see if everything worked properly, and I wasn't disappointed. Wifi and bluetooth work fine, the keyboard backlight is supported, the touchpad is able to perform these smooth GNOME gestures, the keyboard works perfectly, suspend and resume as well, there's nothing to add or configure, which is nice., and it's really not always the case with laptops primarily meant to work with Windows.
This is all on Fedora 41, with the linux kernel 6.11, so not even the very latest. The camera, mic, and speakers also perform well, although as always, the mic's default volume is wayyy to high for a laptop mic and needs to be lowered by about half. Even the fingerprint reader located in the power button works perfectly, although registering a fingerprint is finicky. It even works from the terminal, which is cool. Hot swapping the ports fro the laptop's body also works fine, everything is just fully functional.
As per the CPU itself, it's a Ryzen 7 7840U, so not the very latest and greatest from AMD, but it's a very competent CPU nonetheless, with 8 cores and 16 threads. On Geekbench 6, it got 2570 in single core, and 11270 in multi core.
As per battery life, the framework 13 isn't a big champion, it only has a 61 Wh battery with aht specific AMD CPU. For me, resulted in about 8h of looped video playback on youtube, with hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox, over wifi, at mid brightness, on power saver mode, with a 2880x1920 display running at 120hz, with 150% fractional scaling.
As per the actual laptop's hardware, it's great. The build quality is good, and absolute proof that you don't need to sacrifice repairability and maintenance options to get a well built device. It doesn't really flex much apart from the middle of the keyboard, and it feels very rigid and solid, despite that fact that various plates can be unscrewed and removed.
Aesthetically, there is not much of a tradeoff ether, apart from the ports which look weirdly far apart from one another because, well, they have to to make this module thing work, but it's honestly not a big deal, it looks fine, and at least you don't bump multiple peripherals into one another, and you don't block ports, with a big USB drive.
The plastic bezel is fine as well, the branding is very minimal, it all looks good. I enjoyedn the screen, it's bright, colors are good and it has an anti glare coating. It goes up to 500 nits, and covers 100% of sRGB. it's also 3:2, which i like as an aspect ratio. It can go up to 120hz as well,but that's only for the 2880x1920 display I got i my review unit.
The keyboard and touchpad are great as well, among the best laptop keyboards I've used. Keys are stable, correctly sized, and have good travel, they feel really nice to type on. The touchpad is smooth glass, it works perfectly for touchpad gestures, and it'ws precise not fiddly at all. It's also centered, which is good.
Other nice things include the mic and camera privacy switches that will stop them from being used electrically.
As per the cost, it's more expensive. With everything I got in the box, the review unit costs 1748 euros, with the 20% VAT included. But, with the framework laptop, you are almost guaranteed to get just a new motherboard when you need it, and you don't need to buy an entire new laptop every 5 years, which might save some money in the long term.

The task of selecting a company secretary can be daunting, especially with the vast array of secretarial service providers available. Whether you're a startup founder or managing an established enterprise, choosing the right secretarial services provider is essential for your business's efficiency and compliance. This guide will help you navigate the process by breaking down the key factors to consider when comparing secretarial service providers.
Evaluate Your Requirements
Before you start comparing providers, it's crucial to understand what your business truly needs. Are you looking for basic administrative support, or do you require comprehensive services that include compliance management, board meeting coordination, and document filing? Identifying your specific needs will help you filter out providers that don't align with your requirements.
Plan for Future Growth
Consider the future. As your business grows, your secretarial needs will evolve. Choose a company secretary that can scale with you, offering services that will continue to support your operations as you expand.
Industry-Specific Knowledge
A seasoned company secretary with experience in your industry can offer invaluable insights and tailored support. For instance, a tech startup might require different compliance assistance compared to a manufacturing company. Look for providers who understand the nuances of your sector.
Check Their Track Record
Don't just take their word for it—check their track record. Ask for case studies or client testimonials to gauge their reliability and effectiveness. Have they successfully managed secretarial duties for businesses similar to yours? Their history can be a strong indicator of their capability.
Comprehensive Service Offerings
Not all secretarial services are created equal. Some providers offer a broad spectrum of services, while others specialize in specific areas. Ensure the provider you choose can handle all aspects you might need, such as compliance management, board support, and document management.
Customizable Packages
Every business is unique. Look for a provider that offers customizable packages, allowing you to pick and choose services that fit your specific needs without paying for unnecessary extras.
Leveraging Modern Solutions
In today's digital age, leveraging technology can significantly enhance the efficiency of secretarial services. Providers who utilize advanced software for document management, communication, and compliance tracking can offer a more streamlined and effective service.
Robust Security Measures
Sensitive business information needs to be protected. Ensure that your chosen company secretary employs robust security measures to safeguard your data. Ask about their data protection policies and the technology they use to prevent breaches.
Transparent Pricing Structures
Cost is always a consideration, but it shouldn't be the only factor. Look for providers that offer transparent pricing structures without hidden fees. Clear understanding of costs helps you budget effectively and avoids unpleasant surprises down the line.
Value for Your Investment
Cheapest isn't always better. Evaluate the value you're getting for the price. A slightly higher cost might be justified if the provider offers superior services, better expertise, or more comprehensive support.
Prompt Responsiveness
Effective communication is key to a successful partnership. Assess how responsive the secretarial services provider is during your initial interactions. Do they answer your queries promptly and clearly? This responsiveness often reflects the level of support you can expect once you're onboard.
Dedicated Support Contact
Having a dedicated point of contact can make a significant difference. It ensures you have someone familiar with your business who can address your needs promptly and efficiently.
In-Depth Regulatory Knowledge
A reliable company secretary should have a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape relevant to your business. They should not only ensure compliance but also keep you informed about any changes that might affect your operations.
Consistent Reliability
Dependability is non-negotiable. You need a provider you can trust to handle critical tasks without constant oversight. Look for signs of reliability, such as consistent service delivery and positive feedback from other clients.
Alignment with Company Values
Your secretarial services provider should align with your company’s culture and values. This alignment fosters a smoother working relationship and ensures that the provider understands and respects your business ethos.
High-Level Professionalism
Professionalism in handling your affairs is essential. The provider should exhibit a high level of professionalism in their interactions, ensuring that your business is represented appropriately in all matters.
Create a Shortlist
After evaluating providers based on the factors above, create a shortlist of potential candidates. Compare them side-by-side to see which one ticks the most boxes for your business needs.
Ask Detailed Questions
Don't hesitate to ask detailed questions during consultations. Inquire about their processes, experience, and how they handle specific scenarios related to your business. Their responses can provide deeper insights into their suitability.
Consider a Trial Period
If possible, opt for a trial period to assess the provider’s services in real-time. This hands-on experience can help you make a more informed decision before committing long-term.
Choosing the right company secretary is crucial for your business's efficiency and compliance. By breaking down the process into key factors, you can simplify the decision-making process. From assessing your needs and evaluating expertise to ensuring technological proficiency and cultural fit, each step brings you closer to finding the perfect company secretary for your business.

JEWISH LIES AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES
In 2024 in Western countries sales of electric vehicles fell for the first time.
The Jewish media claims that drop is a passing blip, but the truth is that with the rapid growth of the alternative media, people are finding out that they had been duped about man-made climate change.
The masses are finding out that carbon dioxide (CO2) only accounts for the diminutive amount of 0.04% of the atmosphere and methane, which is supposed to be the second worst heat-trapping gas, accounts for the infinitesimal amount of 0.0002% of the atmosphere.
CO2 is so insignificant and irrelevant, that it has to be measured out of every one million molecules in the air and methane is even more minuscule and so tiny, that it has to be measured out of every one billion molecules in the air.
How can something so diminutive and insignificant be changing the world climate?
The reality is that it is not.
People are also finding out other truths about biology, atmospheric physics, botany and related fields, which show that if carbon dioxide falls below 150 parts per million (ppm), all plants die because carbon dioxide is fundamental for the survival of plants and actually food for plants. If plants die, everything else dies.
CO2 is essential for life and it is only because the Jewish media had a monopoly on information up to 2019, that it managed to dupe a huge share of the world population with the narrative that carbon dioxide is bad.
During the last Ice Age, called the Last Glacial Maximum, some 20,000 years ago, CO2 levels fell to just 180 ppm and life almost disappeared. The mega fauna like mammoths and saber tooth tigers died off and the human population shrunk massively.
In 2020, CO2 was at about 430 ppm.
The billion long geological and atmospheric history of the world shows that the higher the CO2 in the atmosphere, the better it is for plants, animals and humans.
In fact, the higher the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the faster plants grow, which is the reason why many farmers buy expensive carbon dioxide producing machines that are placed inside greenhouses to accelerate the growth of vegetables, flowers or other plants
The evidence suggests that as the share of the world population, but more so, as the share in Western countries that is aware of the biological and atmospheric truth grows, the sale of EVs will fall because a huge share of the people who in past years bought EVs, did it because they bought the lies of the Jewish media which said that by driving an EV, people were contributing to save the world from a colossal climatic catastrophe.
It was all a lie and once people become aware of that lie, the justification and motivation for buying an EV, which are inferior vehicles in many aspects relative to a combustion engine automobile, disappear

No. It's mostly due to personal/personnel matters.
But it's a reminder to folks to not bring that shit from reddit where you scream at mods and admins all the time. When you post flagrantly illegal shit it's their asses too (some instances have their own interpretations of these things, so learn them!)
These are often unfunded volunteers begging for donations to provide a service for the rest of us. Be grateful and don't add to their list of problem. Don't go on witch hunts, don't put mods and admins on blast because you don't like their rules (saw this yesterday), don't be an entitled ass. Appreciate what we have and make their lives easier. This whole project is a gift.
LandedGentry doesn't like this.
re point a: if the rules of the instance are not followed, of course mod action is legit. that guy was a douche it seems.
i think mods of nsfw instances also deserve certain praise; modding that stuff must be … ugh. especially since the instance could be on a 486 in someone’s bedroom. having ran newsgroup servers back in “the day” - turning on anything “alt.bin” was .. not advised.
i had content recently removed for “advocating violence” (iirc it was when i suggested criminal charges for all shareholders of corps who do violent things like allow death when choosing profit over people, yadda yadda.) No example of what the offending remark was and I could not find the old comment to manually review or correct or apologize. in this case I messaged a mod. no reply yet. was it a legit removal? probably certainly! was it poor “customer service” to not follow up with me? probably. does it make me confused as to what the line is there and therefore distrust that community? certainly.
anyway yeah. so the feedback loop could be improved. mods could be more human. and commenters could be less dicks all around! 😀
@flandish @LandedGentry I simply offered my site as a potential option for those losing access to the site going down. In response to this I get 50 some odd dislikes and two SYN floods.
Unlike the admin of the existing site, I DO have a thick skin having been in the game since well before Linux existed.
But the environment would be so much richer and better if everyone didn't act like 13 year olds on a testosterone rage.
Not trying to victim blame or anything, but I find it hard to believe that someone operating a low-moderation instance would truly expect people who don't like moderation to stay away.
Don't get me wrong I agree with your sentiment and dislike that behavior, but what I'm saying is that asking or expecting users not to go on witch hunts or to behave in a certain way is a fool's errand that will always lead to burnout. A more sustainable approach for admins and mods is creating space for what they want to host and not trying to control what they don't.

Forby adferdssporing og målrettet markedsføring.
joda, sporing er et samfunnsproblem. Eller et samfunns gode... Spørsmålet er hvordan det brukes. All informasjon kan misbrukes. I visse tilfeller er det en fin ting at det er sporing på folk.
Eneste måten å unngå å gi ut informasjon er personlig. Samfunnet kan ikke stoppe det. Du må ta aktive valg selv for å hindre sporing av deg. Eller hva som skal ha sporing.
Du kan forby det med lov, men så lager de en avtale som du må si ja på, da er det godkjent 😃
@tomidar dette var virkeligheten før GDPR kom, som satte en del begrensninger for hva man kan gjøre med brukerdata. Holder ikke lenger med skjulte vilkår som selger sjela di 😛
Men jeg tenker GDPR er første steget på en lang vei. Det er ikke perfekt, men det funker. Det setter verdi på personvern og det disse tjenestene tar fra oss.
Jeg mener det neste steget er adferdssporing og målrettet markedsføring, som er et rotterace med mer og mer inngripende sporing for mindre og mindre avkastning.

I suggest Linux Mint. It has GUIs for almost everything and it's very stable. With a little bit of tinkering of the services at startup, you can get Mint to run at 700 MB of RAM (as read via htop), instead of its default ~1 GB of RAM. That could be important to fit it better at 4 GB of ram with some demanding browsing.
I disagree with anyone who might suggest Fedora or Ubuntu with 4 GB of RAM. These distros require about 2+ GB of RAM to boot up, double than that of Mint.
Then there are the distros meant for older machines that use less ram, but it's a shame to use these when your laptop is fast-enough with an 8th gen cpu (comparatively to very old machines, that is).
The lowest ram usage I've seen with a full-fledge distro/DE, is XFce with endeavourOS. I load it at 490 MB of RAM (it takes 630 MB on Mint for the same layout/apps).
Basically, your challenge is the RAM, not the CPU or the drive. Use an appropriate distro for the RAM and the difficulty you want, and always be mindful to not have too many tabs/apps open at the same time.
I commented elsewhere about endeavourOS, but I have some other wisdom to pass along.
Keep good backups of your personal files, stuff you don’t want to lose, and don’t be afraid to try something new. You dont like something about how your system is running? Nuke it and install something else. Installing Linux is a cakewalk in most distros and rarely takes longer than half an hour (your mileage may vary with the low specs on the laptop)
I’ve learned a ton about Linux by trying many different distros, breaking things, fixing things, and occasionally distro hopping to see how I like a different offering.
There’s a lot of great content on YouTube that can help you learn, and reviews of various distros so you can get an idea of how things work without having to install it yourself. Have fun and don’t be afraid to fiddle with things.
I arrived at Hamburg main station, tracks 13+14 - just where over a week ago, a mentally ill German woman injured 15 in a brutal knife attack, some severely. She was stopped by two men: a young refugee from Syria and a man from Chechnya. The press quickly dropped the case.
That had not at all been the case when a similarly ill man, but a refugee, killed two in Bavaria. For weeks, up to our elections, this tragic event was heavily exploited to push anti-migrant politics.
Honesty, and humanity.

If you want to get into customizing UIs hard, something the likes of this
You could get started with window managers (very opiniated topic, its really up to you to decide on which you should use) and UI toolkits like
- ewww
- AGS
- QuickShell
Also I know X11 is slowly dying but AwesomeWM fits your bill really nicely.
TL,DR: You want a cool UI? look at unixporn's top posts of all time, research an option you find good enough and go bananas on everything you need to make yourself at home.
ALSO consider posting at !unixporn@lemmy.ml so we can marvel at your fine grained setup, good luck!

Context:
I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social
piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.
It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.
The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn't have show old posts (see lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.soc…), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn't have access to your old posts anyway.
This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.
like this
At this moment, 9 out of the 10 most active communities are on LW: lemmyverse.net/communities?ord…
You have to scroll 3 times to see !television@lemm.ee, the first Lemm.ee community.
Lemm.ee was already a decentralization factor from LW, but it was still tiny in terms of communities compared to LW. Moving all of the Lemm.ee communities to Piefed.social (not that it's the case anyway, I've seen communities moving elsewhere) would keep the status quo that we were all living with.
Of course ideally over time more Piefed instances emerge, and we can spread a bit more. Also, thanks to the Piefed migration feature, we'll be able to move communities much smoother (even including subscribers).

Right, I've seen pretty much that same reply already.
I think it's a chance to learn a lesson from how and why lemm.ee is shutting down. Right now I think people are risking moving the same problem somewhere else. Sure, in theory the problem gets better with time because the tools to move around are there, but that only matters if there's somewhere to move.
It would be much more encouraging to see dozens of new piefed instances being launched/advertised. I think there's a big push towards something new because it's in the right place at the right time, and I genuinely hope it's a successful project long term. I just hope the people utilizing it are willing to support it as a platform and not just as a flagship instance.
