Mind if I ask where? I would love to see the glow worms some day. I have only seen videos, but it looks amazing.

When I configured it, a 13" mac pro with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD is $1600 from apple, the 13" framework with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD is $1065. That comes out to a 60% difference for the most basic configuration I would consider.

I bought a framework laptop for my significant other last year and it's amazing. It feels super solid like a Macbook but is easy to open and change out parts. Nothing has broken but adding some ram was probably the most pleasant experience I have had working on a laptop. Plus, the main PCB can run without the rest of the laptop so perhaps a great home automation server or TV computer if we upgrade.

My next machine is definitely going to be one of these. Way cheaper than Apple if you want more than 8G of RAM and a decent amount of disk space.

A bit more historic, but still very relevant. The FBI used surveillance in repeated attempts to discredit Martin Luther King JR. It's chilling how they used the information they gathered to try to get rid of MLK any way they could. They were even trying to use information they gathered to convince him to commit suicide.

I liked the idea more than advertising to be honest. But it felt weird voluntarily giving them money while they were using ads too. Ever since I cancelled my last cable tv in the mid 2000s I refuse to pay for anything with ads.

Awesome, I will keep posting like I have been and hopefully more people will join in over time. As of June, I am pretty much done for the year but I'll keep the posts going with older photos. Always good to keep the stoke in the of season!

I could certainly see this as another reason people defending car centric infrastructure would be defensive. Walking is truly miserable in many cities and some people may not even know that it can be nice. My area is decently walkable so I probably have some bias in my observations. I will keep this perspective in mind, thanks!

I have found people on the car side of things to rarely come to a discussion in good faith which is frustrating to say the least. However, I am advocating for coming to the conversation in good faith regardless. Someone needs to take the first step to connect in any argument.

I personally think walkable cities are a very good thing. But I think it is important to understand why some people value driving and become defensive.

Many of the people I talk to who are defensive about driving are concerned with the affordability of housing. These people are often commuting from more affordable areas and are concerned with anything that extends their already long commute.

So I think it's best to avoid characterizations of these people as lazy or selfish. They are really just trying to balance their life with a different crippling societal problem. We need to be careful to craft our arguments for walkable cities in a way that appeals to a broad audience.

I have tried installing Linux on my Surface, unfortunately I haven't found a configuration that works for me yet. There are just a lot of small features that didn't work like the touch screen keyboard, the ability to use my finger to scroll while using the stylus to write, and more. I can probably get it there with enough work, but for now I'm taking the lazy way out and running Windows. Still better than IOS though, yuck.

If you have access to a 3d printer, try looking for a tenting case on Printables or Thingiverse. The CRKBD printed case I downloaded was pretty good. Plus I was able to modify the design over time to suit my needs. My current iteration is over a year old and I love it.

Fyi the lily 58 has space for the number row at the top. You can also build a number pad that sits between the halves. It's all wireless and still takes less room than a standard layout.

But anyway, you choose the layout that works for you. That's the whole point of ergo mech keyboards. Lots of great open source software exists to choose and build exactly what you want with no compromises.
