  • My in-laws are staying with us this week. Fortunately they both are reasonable and voted Kamala but I have heard nothing but Medicare advantage commercials every 5 minutes as they watch live tv (something we never do).

    Medicare advantage is a huge scam that takes all your Medicare money and gives it to private insurance companies. It is shocking that we allow people to be bombarded with this day in and day out. It doesn’t surprise me this same group was bombarded with lies from the right for the past year. Lies that don’t match reality. And as those lies come to light, they will feel duped. But either it will be too late or they are too stubborn to admit it.




  • I’ve had my 13” for about 18 months and it has been a fantastic laptop.

    The keyboard is way better than my MacBook m1. The touchpad is comparable (none are as good as Mac touchpads but it is miles ahead of most laptops). Some people complain about the hinges but I’m not sure why. If I’m doing something intensive the fans come on. They certainly aren’t silent but I wouldn’t consider them noisy compared to laptops I’ve had in the past (including my older intel MacBook)

    I run fedora mostly out of the box without issues. My one complaint would be lack of S3 sleep which can cause a lot of battery drain during suspend. I use a hybrid approach where it now suspends for 30 minutes then goes into hibernation. That works well although I miss the instant on.

    I expect I’ll stay with framework for the future. I haven’t had to do any upgrades or replacements but it is really nice knowing I can.
