Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. So, kind of like: the chiX have come home to twit

So much of our system is being exposed right now. We can’t even get exposed to new brands and companies/competitors! Everything has a bribe and a middle man.

Thanks for mentioning this issue. I already knew this but I connected for the first time how negative it makes me feel.

We need to consider outlawing these sort of deals or limit them in some way.

Hell yeah 🤘 I printed this on a Flashforge Adventure 5M Pro with Kingroon Filament.

In case you want to print these yourself:

• Here’s the file I used for the new Papa V Perpetua Mask.

• Here’s the file for the new Nun / Nameless Ghoul mask.

• The maker is EEKSEYE (I have no association)Both files are a small fee to the artist for a Personal Use license.

Surprised how fast this was put up! I bet there will be free versions soon enough.

If you decide to print this specific version—I shrunk the horizontal width 5% smaller (without scaling) to better fit my girlfriend’s smaller head. The file itself makes the mask pretty big (even for a male head).

I’m gonna print the Nameless Ghoul Nun for her next 😄

Hope you guys have fun! 💀

That’s good to know even if anecdotal. Damn shame. My brother was born in Kostroma. I can’t imagine getting out, choosing to indoctrinate myself, and then voting for the party that hates Ausländers. Thanks for sharing.

Is there any country that is unscathed from this instability? This is the most global instability I’ve seen in my entire life. The Great Recession was one thing—this is much different.

I feel like every week a new country is wavering.

This is my third or fourth alt on Lemmy since joining. I love that I can stick to one account or change instances if I feel like it. It’s not too difficult to get used to! I’m getting a desktop app next.

I like that there’s an application process for each instance. That gives you a good idea of how the instance is managed and what to expect.

I love that I can get German news and interact with Germans and German language speakers. Or, in other words, I love that it’s not default centralized American.

It’s really cool seeing their instances next to everyone’s handle. There’s so much here! I feel a lot safer. I love that everyone is human.

I see @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com everywhere. I have been here a day and I think I have upvoted them 15 times already. Haha

I just want to second this comment and chime in with my experiences. (Thanks also for the information on Framework as I’m not familiar and love to learn)

My family primarily uses Thinkpads. We refurbish them for fun (and often give them away to our community). We run Linux easily on almost all our Thinkpads. So far, Linux works very well even on some old machines (as old as 2012 which wouldn’t be what OP is looking for but still worth mentioning).

We try different distros all the time but mostly stick with Fedora and PopOS.

Right now, I am on a refurbished Thinkpad T480s running PopOS. The 7th gen processor is probably too slow for OP but it runs Linux great and it can even handle running a large dwarf fortress through Steam haha. The T480s also has a touchscreen option (and screens can often be swapped out). The T480s screens usually have a hinge where they can lay completely flat (although, I’m not sure if they are pen compatible).

A more recent Thinkpad with a better processor could be an option for OP to consider in addition to the other great suggestions you made. :)
