    I would not say that. I use a very old 13" Dell XPS laptop. I use Code-Server and duckduckgo. I have be known to program on my 7 year old android tablet with a bluetooth keyboard. For the most part I look at docs for JS modules as I write mostly in Python with Flask and use JS for responsiveness. Before anyone suggests something else I have to interface with a VERY old database that I wrote a webservice into through C#. I do realize there are other ways but python is my comfort point and the amount of backend processing makes it easier to use a "real" language. For my purposes it is plenty fast.

    JS for responsiveness.

    You do web development or something? Aren't you supposed to use media queries?

      Oh god no, ideapads. My dad has one and the metal parts hardly fit together after a year, the key travel is 1mm and the touchpad is practically useless.

      I like the key travel though. The touchpad does get fucked quite easily after some usage so I decided to just use keyboard-only. I've been using mine for 4 years now.

        If I had to use it daily, I would kill myself, but if you're fine with it, enjoy it. Of course it can't beat thinkpads and my Dell latitude 5290 (the new latitudes are pretty much the same (edit:as the ideapad) and part whitelist on tp-s).

          Remember when the internet was more than like 5 websites?

          Gen Z doesn't.

          My favorite thing about StumbleUpon was basically opening me up to a whole Internet without touching Google, and it showed me so many fun things. RIP.

          Jumpstick.app comes pretty close though.

            I tried reading the gadget bridge instructions for my watch. Could not get a straight answer on getting the authorization key (I'm a noob), wasted 2 hr. o3 gave me perfect instructions that got it done in 20 minutes. Ya win some ya lose some.

            Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.

            I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.

              My cycle goes : think think think, draw, think, draw, think, write code for a day or 3.

              I use an ide or a text editor. never use that other stuff.

                Only media queries I do are to raw images, avi files or raw audio files. Makes life some much easier when the standard is as old as the internet.

                  There are dozens of us. And we are used to reading manuals, since we first installed our system.

                      Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

                      That tracks. The AI push is extraordinarily premature. It makes sense that capitalist idiots see mass layoffs as improvement, but rational people do not.
