Dell did that recently…
links to HP
:-)
On a more serious/genuine note, thank you for sharing this. I did not know a recent/modern PC in this form factor still existed. I hope there are more options to choose from, than HP.
I know Raspberry Pi also came in a similar form factor.
Emacs with Vim’s modal editing.
A serious answer:
The “editor wars” are predominantly fought by people who work in IT (system admins, developers, etc.), which requires using the terminal frequently or is often the only tool at their disposal.
Some folks also use specific editors because of their text editing capabilities. Vim’s modal editing is very intuitive and fast, while Emacs’ Org Mode feature set can be a sole reason to put up with Emacs.
A case can be made that modern programming does not really require a terminal since IDEs meet its needs. But the debate becomes more subjective and less objective.
I work in IT, use emacs configured with vim’s modal editing, even though my employer provides expensive IDE licenses for me to use.
I shifted IDEs to Vim because the former were too slow to open some of the code. Later I shifted to Emacs, trading some of that speed for Org mode.
Now, I treat Emacs as the sole software to interact with the computer, as much as I can.

Thank you.
The Rust community on Lemmy had been foreshadowing this all along.

Thank you for responding, and for introducing me to Floccus.
After reading the README and watching the videos therein, this feels like a nice piece of software and well thought out. Thank you for developing it. I am going to try it out tomorrow.
In the meantime, what are your thoughts on tackling bookmarks on mobile?
Asking since many bookmark-worthy links are often shared via phone chats, at least in my experience. I would love to manage, or at least put those with the rest of my bookmarks on other machines.
I feel like the only true possibility of an alternative is like such a place, a single project that is consistent everywhere and lets people have their entire work, so that it looks centralized, even if it’s not.
I agree. Version control might be the ideal domain to pull this off in, or at least it has the most potential.
For your mentioned use cases, any distribution would do.
In fact, any answer for your question would be anecdotal, and here’s mine: Debian if this isn’t your first rodeo, and Ubuntu Server if it is.
Heck, just play around with Ubuntu Server and then go to Debian.
Moreover, you may ask this question on !selfhosted@lemmy.world for better insights.
That may be a good idea. However, people have had around 25 years of familiarity with all things centralised on the internet and the conveniences associated with it. If anything, we are doubling down on the centralised nature of the internet.
It will take a great amount of time and effort to build a equivalently convenient decentralised alternatives, and to overcome the inertia to migrate to it.
The latter I believe is only possible when something enormously drastic happens. We had a good number of drastic events happen in the last decade (Twitter poisoning, Meta privacy breaches, Reddit shenanigans), but none enough to convince people to move to alternatives.
Another possibility is for regulations and/or governments to support the alternatives, but that may have unintended side effects of its own.
Call it the network effect, or the momentum of becoming a staple in the tech community, or whatever; GitHub is here to stay for a while, and the leaders in charge of it are well aware of this.
GitHub has gained enough attention that it is almost impossible to ignore. Projects on GitHub tend to attract a level of engagement (code contributions, issue reports, and feedback) that other code forges do not enjoy.
One unfortunate consequence of this, which I have experienced recently, is when recruiters ask for links to my past work or open-source contributions but refuse to accept links to relevant repositories on GitLab. The number of companies where this occurred was significant enough for me to set up mirror repositories on GitHub.
Another frustrating but silly consequence was when I was questioned during one of the interviews why my activity graph on GitHub was empty: I had simply not enabled it.
I just pulled the feed for the first time after reading your post, and the content is like you describe. A pity as I liked what I saw on the website.
I may try the workaround and see if it helps.
This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?
On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.
I guess I am lucky that it does not refuse to work since it is my default browser across all my machines.
Why?
Does one reboot their entire system after updating Firefox on Linux?
I never do. I don’t even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.
Having read the entire thread, I can only assume this to be sarcasm.
A big hurdle with RCS was carrier adoption, at least in Asia.
I wonder about two things:
On a tangential note, I would really like to read an in-depth analysis of how RCS had such a botched up implementation, which it has still to recover from almost a decade later.
The adoption is nowhere close to what it should have been, and instead it is now more associated with spam than actual communication. The Wikipedia entry does cover a lot of aspects, but it doesn’t explain how it went wrong.
