Millions? I'd struggle to name 3.

You can fix the battery drain issue by changing one line in a config file. The issue is from how Intel chips handle hibernation w/ Linux, so not a Framework specific issue though.

You don't have to do any of that with a Framework and Ubunut/Pop. The only real thing to adjust was getting the fingerprint sensor working, which really was copy/pasting a script. Everything else worked perfectly out of the box.

I can confirm that Pop works on a Framework without about 10 minutes of adjusting a few settings. Which is not that different than any other OS imo.

I have DIY Framework that came without an operating system. Installed Pop_OS on it from a flash drive and in 10 minutes all the necessary tweaks were made.

So if 10 minutes of installing an OS and tweaking a few settings stops someone from spending years with a computer, I'm a bit confused by their attitude.

People have been waiting for a Linux that "just works" for decades. And they'll probably still be waiting for the next 20 years. But that's not really the point of using Linux.

It takes 10 minutes to install Linux from a boot drive and have everything setup as you need. Bizarre to me that those 10 minutes would determine whether or not you spend the next x years with a computer.

I bought a DIY Framework and installed Pop_OS, everything was working well after 5 minutes of "fiddling".

So if that's a reason for you to not buy a computer, I'd suggest that Linux may not be for you.

I have absolutely no idea what my comment had to do with charity and have no idea what you're responding to.

Just because I've paid for healthcare my entire life (including bills owed to the hospital) doesn't mean other people should have to. And just because anyone has to do something that is terrible, doesn't mean that everyone else should be required to go through that terrible experience.

Your reasoning is incredibly shortsighted and selfish.

It's very frustrating that whenever a team is showing something new they've built to HN, so many of the top comments are focused some incredibly nitpicky, personal issue that somehow negates everything else about the project.

It's an amazingly lazy and inconsiderate way to respond to people who've put a bunch of effort into building something.

Sure, but it's no different than any other blog post from a company. And framing it that way is quite disingenuous since the post pretty much only sticks to the topic and doesn't overtly promote their product.

Thanks for the regular reminder that non-programming related threads on Hacker News are filled with completely uninformed comments and are best left unclicked.

Never heard of this before, but it does look very useful.

You can make a page builder using it, but you're going to have to create content types for each block with many to many relationships to pages. It's not going to function like a WP page builder, but it also would allow you more control over what a client can add to a page.

Don't think there are live previews, but I might be wrong (people can create custom modules, like plugins, and I haven't checked in on it for a year or so).

One use case we made is a place where a non-tech savvy marketing manager at a chain of retail stores can enter/edit the store info & deals for each location. Then the info & deals then get updated on the stores' app, website, and on site displays from a single UI.

I'm not an expert since I used it for a few projects about a year ago. But the web hooks are mostly for when items are added/updated/deleted.

They have pretty useful API parameters for transforming images. But my initial instinct is to say that you'll have to do custom data processing in the front end or somewhere else, since the API it generates just mirrors the structure of your database. The nice thing about this approach is that you can always remove Directus from a project and your database will function as normal.

They also have pretty use docs which you can check out for your usecase:

https://docs.directus.io/reference/introduction/

edit: I should also add that you can add your own custom modules, but I never really explored that too much.

Directus is an amazing open source tool that you can self host as easy as deploying a Node app. You can setup content types with a nice UI, very configurable roles so a client can't break the site, a media library that can hook into S3/DO Spaces, a REST or Graphql API built in, webhooks, revisions, works with many different DBs, and a bit more I'm not thinking of.

I'm not affiliated with them at all. Was just very pleased to find how polished it is for a self hosted, free product compared to the other $499/mth proprietary options in the space.

I can't help but think it'd be a smart move for them to either merge with System76 or become joint developers of Pop OS. If they could make Pop become a 1st class OS on Framework, they'd be able to provide a Linux experience that is just about as smooth out of the box as any Mac or Windows.

Pop OS pretty much works without fuss on Framework, but taking care of the final 5-10% of tuning would make all the difference for many people to make the switch.

It's capable of driving 2 external monitors that are 1920x1080 or greater. I do it every day.

I don't use it for gaming, but there was a slight screen tear issue that can be solved in about 60 seconds. Other than that it works perfectly well with fractional scaling over 3 monitors.

Got a DIY one last week with pop_os setup and it's an amazing laptop to have for a reasonable price. Having used a Pixelbook for awhile, it's hard to ever go back from using a 3:2 screen, but that's exactly what you get with Framework (obviously w/ much better specs than a Pixelbook & a full Linux install).

Rather than showing the actual reviews, just lower the color saturation for lower reviewed products. So high reviewed products would pop in a sea of gray scaled items.

Sounds like something out of Black Mirror, but could be interesting.

Any stimulant that brings you up is also going to make you crash down. And with repeated use, the highs get lower and the crashes come when you don't take it. There are ways to manage the comedown (such as tapering), but no ways to avoid it.

Its an innovative process where you deposit money from your bank account to a Mercedes dealership, and then a certified washer fluid technician ensures that premium washer fluid is calibrated to optimal levels.

Always nice to see other sites using Svelte!

> Being poor in and of itself isn’t a globally accurate predictor of crime rate.

If you look at income inequality (with a few exception), it is not the sole predictor, but it gets you pretty damn close. Of course there are many other factors, but there is still an extremely strong correlation. After all, if the poor are not extremely disconnected from wealth, there is less incentive to resort to crime.

Income inequality is a much better measure of inequality than wealth inequality. Just like how a cash flow statement is much better at describing the health of a business than their balance sheet. If you don't have the cash to pay the bills, you're screwed. I have explicitly said that countries with authoritarian governments are an exception to the correlation and factored in how massive social programs (like the ones in Sweden) decrease inequality. And you would see those decreases if you looked at income inequality, where the US is 2-3x as unequal as Sweden by almost every measure.

> If “gross economic disparity” were as predictive of crime as you claim, surely China and Sweden would have comparable crime rates to the US, irrespective of social programs.

Why would it be irrespective of social programs when social programs (largely supported by the "far left") reduce inequality? That doesn't make any sense.

You are straw-manning my argument to that of "wealth inequality is the sole determining factor of crime". This is something that I have explicitly not said and given you multiple reasons why. It's an extremely weak and disingenuous way to have a discussion, and frankly makes this entire exchange pointless. Try to actually engage with the people your speaking to in the future and you'll have more meaningful interactions.

I hear people every so often saying that Seattle or SF or {insert prosperous liberal city} is going to be the next Detroit. It's hard to express how preposterous that assertion is. Detroit filed for bankruptcy. It's major industries needed massive government subsidies in order to survive.

To think anything like that would happen to SF anytime in the next 50 years is absolutely absurd.

So you're saying there's more to the term "woke" than the definition you provided. In fact, the additional context you gave makes the definition almost completely meaningless.

But what if (and it's a big what if) there is a whole side of thought in America that believes issues of racial and social justice are not worthwhile and have already been settled? Would the term "woke" still be offensive then, based on what you just said?

I don't really know if the 2nd paragraph of your comment is supposed to be satire or serious, but that often happens when these undefinable words are thrown around as if they are cannon.

If you look at income inequality, the United States is far more unequal than Sweden:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_eq...

If you look at wealth inequality, they are pretty much exactly the same:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_in...

But that also leaves out large programs in Sweden that vastly narrow the gap between rich & poor, which America does not have. Namely universal healthcare, free child care, free prenatal care, free school lunches, free college, union participation in 70% of the workforce (which provides additional unemployment benefits & pensions), and most retired persons being able to receive multiple public & private pensions. You cannot measure the desperation of poor in America vs Sweden without taking all of this into account.

Furthermore, I'm struggling to see what your point is. All of the policies I listed above are considered "far left" by many people in America, yet seem to reduce the desperation of lower classes (and crime). So are you saying the America and cities like SF should adopt these "far left" policies? Because that's the exact opposite view of the parent comments that I've been replying to.

So based on that definition, explain to me how being "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)" is bad...

And does "woke culture" just mean a culture of being "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"?
