    Holy smokes! Now this is a pure miracle exposed! An X200 Lenovo ThinkPad! ✨

    I have Debian with AwesomeWM on non-tablet awesome ThinkPad X201 i7 620M, chassis 3249CTO, I pre-purhased in 2010, and it works as a charm with KDE Plasma latest even! <3

    Magnificent support for every single hardware module… iwlwifi for the Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 SIM and GPS, too… Everything…

    On X200, though, I would start with a minimal latest Debian install with AwesomeWM, too, and tried benchmarking.

    There is a moment, late at night, when the hospital is quietest. Not silent. A hospital is never silent. There is the beeping and the footsteps and the soft pneumatic sigh of a door closing on the ICU ward. But the administrative floors are dark. The compliance department is dark. The revenue cycle office is dark. The spreadsheets are still running on servers in a windowless room on the second sublevel, but no one is watching them. The spreadsheets do not need to be watched. They do what spreadsheets do.

    I go home. I have a home in a neighborhood where the ambulances do not come often. I have a personal laptop. Sometimes, late, I open it. Not for work. For something else.

    The CMS price transparency portal is public. Anyone can search it. I searched it once. I typed in my own hospital. I typed in a procedure I had last year — a routine thing, nothing serious, the kind of thing a man my age gets checked. I found the chargemaster price. I found the negotiated price my executive plan paid. I found the cash-pay price.

    The cash-pay price was eleven times what my plan paid. For the same room. The same machine. The same technician who called me “sir” because she had seen my badge and knew my title.

    I closed the laptop. I did not search again.

    Dear @tired_n_bored@lemmy.world, please accept a warm hug, and a great high-five! I believe you are a true, accountable, and actual developer, who believes in purpose and self-confidence! This is what is important. To develop not only some software but your own mind and yourself as a human individual, with unique and ineffably magnificent mind.

    Just like if you want nonsensical articles with invented facts, then article writing is a practical use case. But as I’ve pointed out already no reputable editorial is now using LLMs to write their articles…

    The point is, there has always been a trade-off between the speed of development and quality of engineering…

    “I’m Feeling Lucky” intelligence is optimized for arrival, not for becoming. You get the answer but nothing else (keep in mind we are assuming that it’s a good answer).

    You don’t learn how ideas fight, mutate, or die. You don’t develop a sense for epistemic smell or the ability to feel when something is off before you can formally prove it…

    It’s a freaking mess, indeed. I am in a web and network security developer myself, since ~2000. And I do have some slight panic feel myself, trying to learn about it when time is available, with just a very little use of AI at work to almost nothing. And I do eliminate anything AI from personal life, including art and hobby - I will always do so.
    Here, even if someone pushes you for to it, please do keep standing your point respectfully prioritizing confidence and self-awareness. Since, in the end, we must always stay human, I believe. Please don’t lose yourself in the trends and unstable technology. As we know, what is important is a human to stay a responsible, neat, respectful, and love-felt human, for the sake of magnificent future, your family, and your love for people, purpose, and art.

    I believe it’ll be alright, but we must always be careful, as developers, and people.
    And, sure, I wish you peace, stability, organization, and success!

    Another ThinkPad to recommend for Linux, for an environment to trust! I have Debian with AwesomeWM on non-tablet awesome ThinkPad X201 i7 620M, chassis 3249CTO, I pre-purhased in 2010, and it works as a charm with KDE Plasma latest even! <3

    Magnificent support for every single hardware module… iwlwifi for the Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 SIM and GPS, too… Everything…

    Some of the additional reviews of ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 And T16 Gen 5… Not only it looks like a miracle but works with Linux out-of-the-box, indeed!

    Thank you, heartfelt… dear Artists, Developers, Managers, Analysts… Genius… ineffably magnificent People… for the infinitely awesome miracles you do…

    Of course! I’ve been keeping your project in the memory since the moment I noticed the project is focused on actually supporting an individual, a unique worldview, a human… to help a human to continue developing their attitude, mind, self-organization, attitude towards knowledge and recreation…

    I just believe you developed the project with your own hands, too, which would make it another invaluable example of a miracle to learn from… and here I would recommend it to everyone I know who still believes in self-confidence and accountability, too. To those who believe in effort and long-term priceless work of love to always remember and follow as an example of wise approach, to learn from.

    Thank you, @expyth0n@lemmy.world , for the human priceless effort… for the time-independent marvel, art you do…

    Just in case, for the Lemmy client, in need for more comprehensible comments flow, you may find the following clients incredible, I would recommend, too:

    Thank you… heartfelt… for an actually mature and adequate attempt for rationalization of the state of events…
    Unfortunately, it seems the propaganda and children raising through local movies and socials with history retelling is too deep… some just do not care and consume, sorry, what they got used to and were raised with - lies, to the point they deny anything unmatching.

    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

    The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
