  • Yes!
    They have released multiple new mainboards for the framework 13 which upgraded the cpu. This is a new mainboard with the latest intel cpus. They have always allowed everyone to just buy the board so they can upgrade their existing framework 13’s, thats their whole stick : modularity.
    This time they also have a new screen panel and battery you could get to upgrade your system.

    Also obviously new systems can be bought with the new hardware from the get go too.

    I have a framework 16 that my boss got for me. Im a trial to see if we can save money by going framework instead of dell for the laptops developers use as things like the ports on the side, batteries and mainboards are easily replaced and upgraded. No need to waste +2600 euro every 3 years per laptop either if we can just swap the mainboard. They didnt want to finance the gpu, but when the laptop is mine after 3 years i will probably get the gpu for it :)
    (In a framework 16 a gpu can be plugged in or replaced. Framework 13’s always use integrated gpu )


  • I can understand with what youre saying, and to each their own tastes. However, id like to point out that asus tried to get them to pay 200$ for something that wasnt broken is something that is relevant to us as consumers. Specially since they started the investigation after a lot of people started mailing GN about their issues and… questionable practices





  • Ye fair, it all depends on what markup you have and what features you use. Personally i dont think my markup of priiloader has any weird stuff that is specific to github, but i will have to check to be honest. If there was any special stuff id try to steer away from github specifics as much as i can, because i believe and work in a way it should always be possible to take away any part of a project and replace it with something else. It makes projects very flexible to change


  • Ye, some of these i started thinking of after i made my comment, which is my bad. Its true a project that uses the full github stack is harder to move, its its still relatively easy. The only problem you’d have is redirecting traffic to a new host, but this problem exists in all platforms and not only in project management sites like github.
    As for your bulletpoints, i have a few remarks. Mainly that github pages are silly and they should not be used as a website. And even if you are, there are tools out there to convert the markdown from github pages into html/css/js so moving that is easy. Same with wiki pages, they are just markdown. 90% of markdown is compatible with other sites, and the parts that arent probably have a site specific syntax that youll need to look up, nothing bad. Review comments i will disregard, as those are part of the PR process. Once a project is moved you could hide the PR tab on github or close all new ones redirecting them to the new host. All older ones can be handled and phased out. Once a pr is merged, get the commit from github and push it to the new host. Thanks git!
    Random contributers have nothing to say imo. If a project’s team feels the need to move away from github a true contributer/side team member/helper will move with them, and if they dont then so be it. Once a project team feels the need to move, something bad must be going on and moving will always be the better move for their mental health than to keep working with bad stuff.
    As mentioned before ci/release pipelines are all yaml. Their odeas stay the same, only action names & their patameters change. Nothing complex there to move there…

    So im short : only moving your traffic is a real problem, but is a problem on all websites and all communities, not just github or a project on github


  • Imo github doesnt have that high of a vendor lock-in. Its git, you can clone and push it to another server. Sure, youll have to convert the ci’s and templates, but thats about it really.
    And a good yaml is easily converted as the ideas and actions are the same, only the action names are different.
    But yes, i think that is what the author was getting at.




  • In principal, the change is good for reasons you mentioned. However microsoft has :

    • bypassed any default screens in the past, allowing edge to be set default without user input.
    • has added very annoying screens when changing default applications asking the user multiple times if they are sure.
    • has added special protocols for applications and set edge as default browser to bypass default application settings in all office applications ( outlook, teams, word, … ).

    They just can not be trusted with this, they have proven this in the past…

    I agree! There are limits to it all, but its up to you as a dm to make it fun for everyone and letting players flex is included in it! I have a lvl 5 paladin the dm has huge issues hitting and its hilarious sometimes! That said, i cant hit for shit so this makes it fun for the dm as well. My team mates have once just looked at me and the last skeleton warrior duke it out while the rest was dead. It couldnt hit me and i was constantly missing my attacks. We were all laughing our arses off haha


  • Oh wait, youre giving me great theoretical ideas here. I didnt think about it untill now but ( atleast in central europe ) a lot of cosplayers use eva in its foam form to craft a lot of their costumes or props. If a printable eva exists, they would no longer need to do the cutting and puzzling of eva foam boards. Print it like how you need it!
    I can see why you wrote a paper on it and is very cool to hear about!
    Also never heard the stratasys story before lol
