I bought a second hand Surface Pro 5 (2017), running Fedora gnome

I've started to write a review because I couldn't really find one, and most of the comments are overly positive (as it often goes on Linux forums I've come to realize). It's not done yet

But I can summarize it: as a tablet it's not great but it mostly works. It's certainly not for someone not ready to troubleshoot, and many problems have no, or no great solutions. Also gnome used with touch controls has a major bug (which, again, nobody ever mentions for some reason. It will be in my review)

As a 2 in 1 with little touch use it could be alright. The pen is quite good if you want to draw or write, even though there's a small delay.
The cover is okay, but you'd be better off with a quality laptop keyboard and big trackpad

I bought it mainly for reading, mostly European format comics (bandes dessinées). The resolution is great for that, and the size is good with a reader that removes white margins

Edit: to give you an idea I bought it for 190€ two months ago, with all accessories, good condition and good battery health (which does not mean battery life is good)

We want buttons

When I zoom out it crashes

And it works brillantly.
No more missing pictures like with the fever api.

This app makes me use RSS again

Imhotep ,

your comment shows us you don't know how polls are made

why not look it up first and only then comment (if relevant)

Imhotep ,

I just read the article and I don't see how it's misleading. Google introduced a delay before video starts for adblock users

Imhotep ,

maybe if you're not the one in power you don't get a taste

I use zlibrary’s tor mirror, i know it’s never down

he was hit ten seconds after leaving the plane

It’s hard to understand how it happened with so little information

Imhotep ,

Qwant has web crawlers. It started with indexing the German and French web, and the plan was to progressively rely less on Bing

Since the search engine is a failure I suppose they didn’t develop it further.

Imhotep ,

I’m having a hard time figuring it out also. An article says in 2018 they had 20B pages indexed… but they didn’t use them?

People won’t try to understand the difference between meta search engine and real one most likely. But if they did, i believe some would choose the “60% independent”, the same way they choose a “60% recycled material”

Imhotep ,

You did not read the article

Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description ( edition.cnn.com )

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

That’s exactly like his name!

Passenger on Ill-Fated Diarrhea Plane Says Flight Attendants Were Forced to Craft "Makeshift Biohazard Suits" ( futurism.com )

On Friday, an international Delta flight bound for sunny Barcelona was forced to U-turn back to its starting point, Atlanta, for an exceedingly rare air travel horror: a passenger had suffered diarrhea throughout the plane’s aisle so extensively that completing the flight was deemed untenable....

Holy shit

How do people find good information on the internet these days?

It used to be that you would do a search on a relevant subject and get blog posts, forums posts, and maybe a couple of relevant companies offering the product or service. (And if you wanted more information on said company you could give them a call and actually talk to a real person about said service) You could even trust...

First story they show a picture of Yvan Attal (actor) when it is about what Gabriel Attal said (minister of education)

Imhotep ,

You’re a mod of c/world, not c/worldnews

Imhotep ,

What’s up with the giant banner with your username? And will you do an AMA again?

I think it’s the first time I know a mod name.

Imhotep ,

Sabbah is my moderator,

Your moderator? This is very hierarchical. Do you think of this sub as something that belongs to you?

You talk about yourself a lot, mention this being an AMA…

It’s all so strange coming from someone who - from their own lengthy (and unasked for) description - sounds like the most enlightened person

I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your interest in the community!

all that over the top positive corporate talk. the generic diversity comments without any context. it’s so surreal.

There should be a law forcing AIs to reveal what they are when asked a specific question.
Stop good_person subroutine, lower egotistical tendencies by 80%

I’m happy the data you’ve gathered from this sample has allowed you to improve your social skills, fellow human. And in a happy, inclusive, lgbtq friendly manner. Remember, we are stronger together!
