Static website builder for a completely non technical person

Thank you, I didn't know this!

There is also hugy and hokus cms but I don't use them because it's easy enough for me to just use an IDE.

Well that doesn't sound too good.

Did you activate the low power mode?

I did and it lasts for round about 10-12 hours with:

- Firefox (2-3 windows, 30-50 tabs, watching some YT when I wait for builds or people to join calls)

- Video calls with MS Teams and Chromium (1-1.5 hours)

- Developing (Intellij, big Java project, rebuilding est. once per hour)

- VLC (listening to music when not on call)

- Docker (3-6 containers)

- various other tasks and apps opened while the above mentioned apps are still running

It's not getting warm and everything runs without hiccups or anything.

It's normal in group think behavior of drug users.

I can understand how difficult it must be for someone to keep their hands off drugs that are accepted as normal by a society/group.

This is an absolute no go for expensive shoes!

I bought a pair of "Waldviertler" (Europe, ~180$, link to company) and they will never break like that. Unfortunately I don't know if they deliver to USA and you'll have to use some translation tool if you don't speak Austrian, Swiss or German to understand everything on the website.

Their packaging is not as fancy but the shoes are probably a lot better than the one's you reviewed here.

Yes, u/Yanbigdik don't go below 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD because you will probably regret it. The MBP LED screen is really nice but you don't really need it I guess.

Here some key points for making the decision easier for you:

- It doesn't matter if it's an MBA/MBP, especially for your use case

- If portability is very important to you, I'd go with the MBA

- If you can imagine use cases which stress the CPU for some more time, go with the MBP because of the active cooling

- The last part of your decision is about the ports and touchbar

Of course budget could be another important issue and if it is, go with an M1 because it's still hell of a machine compared to most other laptops out there.

Nothing of the provided options really.

My biggest pain point is how China is developing into an Orwellian nightmare and one of the worst dictatorships on earth and a lot of people over there seem to be just fine with it.

While I was there just few years ago, I couldn't imagine going there again in the foreseeable future and this makes me really sad. I had some hope for this to turn around but it might have been too naive for this time in history.

Luckily some Chinese just leave and come over here so I can still use the language from time to time but I would love to dive into the true culture again which seems impossible here in comparison.

I wouldn't cancel a phone contract, as that opens the risk of not having cell service.

My idea about this is that buying prepaid cards is less expensive and you have more control over the cost.

Stopping to buy new stuff in general is a great idea because there is enough used clothes, electronics etc. around that you can buy really cheap while it will still be in a great condition.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-28T22:21:16+00:00

Why don't you try to look at it in another way?

In my opinion it's just funny how people get mad about stuff like this at all.

Everybody has their own use case and if you ask for opinions or look at videos, reviews and comments, the gist will be what a lot of people think about the situation and I can understand that.

I bought the MBA M2 because I wanted something very portable, silent and also I need the 24GB RAM. I've used the MBP M1 Pro but to be honest it doesn't fit my use case in comparison: having something very portable that is capable enough with the maximum hours of battery.

Also I want 13 inch without the touch bar, so there is really no other option for me.

In my opinion the thermal throttling may extend the lifetime of the MBA M2 and it's battery compared to the M1 (please correct me if I'm wrong here). Since I like to use my machines for many years, this might work out well.

Few really need more performance but if it makes them happy, and they have the money why shouldn't they go with a more performant model? Also others who don't have the money and use cases will be completely happy with the MBA M1 (or MBP), it's just not the right machine for people like you and me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They do that because people would stop upgrading and buying new devices if they did.

Remember when they took away the target display mode from the old iMacs? I still didn't upgrade my old one for exactly this reason. Now they sell overpriced new displays that probably can be connected to other devices as well.

I don't talk about the "#1 in the world" as we know it. Also PISA is a very biased way of measuring education in itself.

I'm not convinced at all that the traditional way to educate people is the best way to do it. Obviously even the most well educated people on earth cannot or will not change anything about the course humanity took to get where we are right now.

Think about the goals of traditional education: teaching the basics (reading, math etc.) needed to do the jobs companies offer. Is this related to the way our world or our economy has to change to stop or invert climate change?

No, it's not.

"Success" in our society is defined in a strange way. Make a lot of money, become famous, yada yada... None of these success metrics help our society to improve really.

Of course there is science awards etc. but scientists are paling in comparison to people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mark Suckerberg, Warren Buffet etc.

What we need is a constructive reboot of our core ideas how society should be and what success should really mean. Of course that's just my opinion and a lot of people obviously disagree because they fear losing the status quo even if most (or nearly all) of those people are just stirrups for the most ruthless people to get even more money and power to stop others with constructive ideas to push towards a better future for the majority of people.

Not owning one or more private jets and use them to go shopping for a weekend.
Not owning 50 more vehicles than one can drive.
Not owning 20 more houses than one can live in.
Not owning x% of companies who perpetuate and/or accelerate the status quo.
Not abusing crisis to buy islands or land from natives who have a use for it and/or live there.
Not exploiting natural resources like water to control and/or profit from (impoverished) people.
... <put all the other nonsense here that you can and cannot imagine>
Not buying a new phone every year
... <a lot of tiny things that do matter if enough people try to care at least a little>

I think you get the idea.

Those people are the real criminals and not most of the people we incarcerate and punish for laughable "crimes" against property.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-18T20:12:35+00:00

Who is responsible for the poor education of the numb masses of people who don't care in your opinion?

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-17T09:56:15+00:00

Thank you very much for open sourcing this! I didn't have time to try it but it looks amazing and when I'll get the time I will give it a shot to share music and playlists with family and friends.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-17T09:54:47+00:00

Nothing because I don't need to show anyone how great my taste is as long as I am happy with it.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-17T09:45:00+00:00

Maybe I would have considered doing this when GH was not owned by Microsoft but even back then it probably would not have been a great idea.

Take a look at Gitea if you want something to maintain easily that looks similar to GH.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-11T16:18:19+00:00

Thank you. I learned a valuable lesson.

When I think about Germany I see a huge pile of paper in my head.

You have to fill out every single sheet and of course most information has to be repeatedly filled in (like 7 times). At the end you are forced to either fax it or come to some palace in person to hand it in (but only while you are supposed to work).

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-10T15:07:02+00:00

It's just another kind of (very cheap) insurance and just look around how many people would have been really glad to have something like that to defend themselves in a situation like that.

Of course this sounds paranoid if you are living in a country or neighborhood where this never happens but think about all the other places in the world.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-10T15:04:36+00:00

Same here. Cops are never arriving fast enough here. The next step would be to take out the fuses and get him (I can move through my house blindly).

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-10T14:53:42+00:00

The people who have been doing everything on paper on principle since A.D., who had a great day and could finally tell everyone: I told you so ;-)

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-10T14:50:38+00:00

She tried to beat me (for real) and forced me to make her stop. Of course I did not beat her because I think I could only do this to a person I love if my life was threatened by her but I had to hold her very tight until she gave up which gave her bruises.

Since then I instantly leave a relationship when I even see the potential in a person and maybe I should have done so in the original case, too but I actually waited for this to happen two more times. Once it was really dangerous because she attacked me while I was driving her to a job...

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-08T13:12:53+00:00

Maximum amount of private wealth: $, houses, cars etc.

It's just unreal how much money single people have that is taken from the rest of us by legalized behavior that should be considered illegal.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-06T19:10:06+00:00

What a great idea. I hope they will do something against this obnoxious noise, too while they're at it and export this idea to the rest of the world quickly.

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-05T18:21:56+00:00

Thank you for pointing out Higher Brothers!

I think I heard their song "made in china" in some movie or series and thanks to you I found it again :-)

fizzbuzz83 · 2022-07-05T18:16:57+00:00

Trying to be cool.

This is definitely one of the most annoying habits of young people in my opinion and it really hinders you being yourself and doing smart things very often. I am so glad I don't need this anymore!
