  • Older models are sturdy (IBM ones are very robust but are also too old), probably better with replacement parts availability.

    Two-battery models, like X230-X270 models (and others) can have a lot of battery power put into them. Mine has 72Wh external + 24Wh internal, and I can hotswap the external one, so if I want to I can buy a second 72Wh battery to style on everyone else.

    Generally good Linux support, but do look specifically how well whatever you are buying is supported.

    edit: the models I mentioned don’t seem to have magnesium alloy chassis, so while they might look like a close range weapon, you probably shouldn’t use them that way.











  • one conversation I had with a tanker

    de-authority: Lots of feeligs. Feel it up, way up.

    lt-dbyf-dubois: “Oh my god! TALKING TO TANKER?! Is that what you just said to me? I can’t BELIEVE you were talking to a tanker!”

    de-authority: You’re saying it really loud, but it’s not coming out right. Maybe add more indignation?

    lt-dbyf-dubois: “So you have just… just… taken this tanker that was at the docks and TALKED to it, right?!” (Point at the sea, where the tanker is located.) “Engage in political discussion with a tanker right there in front of a cargo crane, because you wanted to? In the HARBOUR?!”

    de-authority: More.

    lt-dbyf-dubois: “RIGHT THERE IN THE HARBOUR?!”

    de-authority: MORE.

    lt-dbyf-dubois: “GIVING DOCKWORKERS A LITTLE… DOCKS-LIB-SHIP-TALK-SHOW?!”







  • Many people on giant general instances like mastodon.social are people from Twitter. Queer instances and their environment are better with this, but not perfect, still - there are posts that tell “vote vote vote”, but you do have people who are at least receptive of communist topics and do see how fucked up the world is right now. Many identify as “anarchist”, but some people do put “marxist” or “socialist” or “communist”.
