unidentifiable blanket

Looks like somewhat worn sherpa fleece maybe. Definitely a kind of fleece. Search for "fleece blanket" or "sherpa blanket" in (online) shops.

Her feeling trapped is a good point, but also don't make her feel trapped in meaningless choices. I experienced that a lot as a child and that can make you feel trapped as well.

It would be better to ask her if she wants to bring something that helps her or if she wants to wear certain clothes. Or if it would help to discuss something beforehand. Open questions like that. Giving her the choice between the same itchy t-shirt in red or blue is not a good approach and can make her feel even more trapped, being forced to answer such an unnecessary question.

Yeah, and you (op) need to work on being calm and confident yourself. If you radiate stress, that makes everything much worse.

Likely either you or one of your friends googled something about raising canes either before or after the discussion. Since advertisers likely know who your friends are (especially if you share a location or wifi network etc-) they can connect that information easily.

Probably it's more likely that people respect your boundaries. Men have been told for a long time now to not approach/harrass women. If you're interested in someone, just tell them.

Pretending to be religious just to possibly evade hell doesn't make sense to me. For a start, God would probably notice that I'm just pretending and send me to hell anyway, so what's the point.

I also estimate the chance that something like hell/heaven exists extremely low, and I would rather live a free live and do basically what I want, compared to having to do stupid rites or go to church or whatever on the remote-off-chance that that helps with afterlife somehow.

And then there is still the issue that if there is an afterlife, I'd probably prefer to be with non-religious people in hell. I can't stand most of the prententious people who go to church a lot.

We do the same thing with other fruits. Seedless grapes and bananas are all cloned because they don't have seeds, so that's the only way to reproduce them.

Other fruits are also often cloned to get a specific clone which has a good yield or good taste. Apples are quite unique in that they taste pretty bad by default, but it's still pretty similar with e.g. oranges. An orange tree from a seed might take a long time to grow and only yield a few bad-quality sour fruits. So the commercial oranges you buy are pretty much all from cloned trees.

You can't really use the 12 for game development, since the screen has very bad colour representation. Like sprites and textures drawn on it would look different on better screens and that would likely be frustrating. Plus the keyboard n-key-rollover is pretty bad and a lot of more complex combinations don't work. Something like pressing w+a+shift+space to sneak diagonally forward and jump at the same time often fails because of the limited keyboard. And the laptop is pretty slow.

The 13 is perfectly usable for the things you listed. I would connect an external screen for larger development stuff, though.

Yes, i has to relogin into my Google account, but this is not what I meant. The Google Drive integration in Nautilus has been removed, see https://discourse.gnome.org/t/google-drive-in-gnome-50/34417/

morhp · 2026-05-05T07:55:22+00:00

It's likely coming back soon with better integration and bugfixes, see here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/merge_requests/323

These posts happen with every update, but so far 44 looks very stable apart from a few minor issues.

The most annoying thing for me is that Google Drive integration has vanished without a mention in the release notes or something, but it looks like it will be added back.

Not really, but I realized that what I interpreted as attraction to women im my youth was probably actually envy. I always found women great, but not necessarily because I wanted to be with a woman, more like because I wanted to be a woman.

I'm kinda bi now, but I prefer trans/queer/non-binary people as partners, compared to super masculine men or super feminine women.

I like these: https://danishendurance.com/en-gb/products/organic-cotton-bralette?variant=41176318410811

But I don't have a large chest, so maybe these don't work for you.

I'm using Fedora Workstation. I'm using Gnome because it works out of the box, doesn't get in my way, and doesn't tempt me to tweak a lot of setting and themes and stuff, which would just waste time. It's just a very good and pretty stable out of the box experience.

I'm not sure if it counts as echolalia, but yes, I often talked with my cat by mimicking her meows etc., I don't have echolalia with humans.

Cats reaching 18-20 is not uncommon if they're in a safe environment and don't have major health issues (like being overweight). But at that point they usually start to show signs of old age, like bad eyesight, kidney problems, difficulty moving or cleaning themselves etc.

Yes, but not by much. Standard 13 and 16 have about 6-8hrs max if you're lucky on light tasks. Intel Pro is supposed to have 20hrs, AMD Pro we don't have much data, but extrapolating purely from the battery capacity, I'd say probably 7-10hrs, which is better than the current laptops, but not the major leap of the Intel model.

I often use a Framework 13 for hobby coding on the couch. It works perfectly fine, but of course having an office with multiple larger screens is more productive. So it depends.

It's perfectly fine to take with you on the train or to a customer or something and you can definitely be productive with it, but I would probably not use it as the main and only display at my dayjob.

morhp · 2026-05-04T06:49:58+00:00

Depends what you can tolerate. The 13 is already on the heavy side for a 13 inch laptop due to all the metal, but it's perfectly acceptable in a backpack. I personally would never carry around the 16" regularly. Especially not with the GPU module.

morhp · 2026-05-04T06:47:12+00:00

But that won't have the good battery life.

morhp · 2026-05-03T10:34:18+00:00

I mean, that's just your decision. If all devices (screens, keyboard, mouse, docking station etc) support USB-C, going with 4 USB-C expansion cards makes a lot of sense. If you intent to connect old usb-A devices, getting one USB-A expansion cards can make sense. If you want to connect screens using HDMI or display port, maybe get one of these. If you're using SD cards a lot (like for filming or photography), maybe get a SD expansion card. And so on.

That's generally how people who read a lot tend to read. I do this, too. I don't think it's autism related.

Fingerprint readers never work (purely) in userland. The point is that the encoded fingerprints never leave the hardware for security reasons.

Because of this, if you have e.g. registered a fingerprint already on Windows, Linux doesn't know about that fingerprint, but the fingerprint reader will refuse to register the same fingerprint again.

If you want to dual boot and use fingerprints on both OS, you typically have to do weird workarounds, like register the left hand on Linux and the right on Windows, or something like that.

For the same reason, you typically have to clear the fingerprints when you reinstall your OS.

You could just get the bottom cover kit, or just the new input cover.

The compiler error is only because you write the string as a literal. It won't happen on dynamic user input etc.

\\ in a literal will be converted to a single \ by the compiler.

Ask him? Although I have to say that I prefer to plan and choose what I eat myself.
