@design_RG That's an amazing deal.

@k11m1

@k11m1 I bought my T580 directly from Lenovo, but I got lucky with the price. They're usually quite marked up. Before that, I was keeping my eye out for a used T480.

@design_RG

@design_RG Yep! I want to keep it looking clean. I don't want a collage, like some others have. I also want a small one on the Fn key, since I switch it with the Ctrl key (well, Lenovo switched it first).

@k11m1

@design_RG @k11m1 I just saw a whiteboard sticker. Very tempting.

I want to get some stickers for my laptop.

@NeikoCat This is wrinkling my brain!

Something has awakened inside me. https://youtu.be/75WFTHpOw8Y

@coolboymew Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm going to pass. I don't want to ruin my eyes.

@freemo Yeah, you can set the pruning settings, I believe.

@freemo Matrix, if you don't get kicked for inactivity. Otherwise, long live IRC.

Whoever was the first person to decide on using rubberized coating for aesthetic reasons on electronics better be remorseful by now.

@sjw There's irony here.

@nosleep

@freemo That makes sense.

@design_RG @tripu @pganssle

@freemo @design_RG I think there may have been a misunderstanding above with one of the "you"'s that was talking about other instances caving to peer pressure and following someone else's rules, and not "you" you.

@tripu @pganssle

@design_RG Sorry! My typos!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this out in the open.

Yeah, I probably would have had a slightly different approach and actively avoided being confrontational if it were me that was addressing him. However, since Ash doesn't even want to see what's being written here now, I'm just going to speak freely and plainly.

I would probably also be a bit prickly if someone called me naive, but I wouldn't just shut down like a child having a temper tantrum.

@tripu @pganssle

@design_RG I get why some instances want to block certain content, but blocking the ones that refuse to use the same rules is just borderline tyrannical.

I don't want to be rude to Ash, but it's just... narcissistic to think you know enough to tell others what to do and how to run their own instances, but then acting high and mighty when when being reasoned with? There's some underlying cause to that kind of superiority complex.

My background is in environmental science, so I know basically nothing about psych, but even I get concerned when encountering that kind of behaviour.

@tripu @pganssle

@freemo I wouldn't mind having that list as well, please? Thaaanks.

@kino @pganssle @tripu @design_RG

@design_RG Wow. That was incredibly rude to shut down communication in that manner. I assume the irony is lost to them though. Fortunately, more and more users on that side are becoming aware of the issue.

@tripu @pganssle

@tripu At the very least, there are mods from F-Droid that I've talked to aware of the situation. I don't think they've had much success getting a response though.
