@libreleah Done! Here the PR: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbwww/pulls/161

> "Some of these forced changes in consumption patterns are often explained away by manufacturers and retailers alike with the phrase "Nobody wants that anymore." Laptops with 4:3 or 5:4 screens, for example. Or slightly bulkier laptops but with decent thermal design. Or a laptop with a DVD player that will let me watch one of the many movies I own that's not available on a streaming service."

A lot of time I suffered from a long resume time with my #Thinkpad X220 with #FreeBSD and #Libreboot

And today I suddenly found (with the help from @libreleah ) that this is was because of some drivers and USB devices connected to my laptop. Not because of #Libreboot

So, I wrote a small blog post about speeding up suspend/resume on the FreeBSD.

Suspend time before: 19.25 seconds. After: 9.69 seconds.

Resume time before: 72.97 seconds. After: 7.96 seconds.

@libreleah @rl_dane @samd @justine@snac.smithies.me.uk @justine@bsd.cafe @amin

Thanks a lot! Finally, I found the source of problem and it is not a #Libreboot — it is some devices and device drivers which caused problem with long suspend/resume time in the #FreeBSD

Will write a little blogpost about it soon :dragnhappy:

@rl_dane @samd @justine@snac.smithies.me.uk @justine@bsd.cafe @amin

Yes, I think so :dragnsad:

Maybe @libreleah has some clues? :dragnthink:

I fuckin love this highly customizable, tweakable and hackable beast :dragnhearteyes: :dragnhearteyes: :dragnhearteyes:

@lanodan @ocean @konstruct
But furry are sentinent species and Bible doesn't cover any sentinent species except hoomans. So, this is highly questionable, I think :dragnthink:

@ocean @konstruct
I read the Bible and I can't remember that 18+ Steam games for adults and furry art were disallowed in the text somewhere.

Literally, the more I live, the more I think that eldery + big money = spreading your very local values on the rest of humankind.

@lain we need to go deeper! :mindblown:

@lain and your comment is also 'framing' too! :dragnsarc:

Found an interesting smol article about "inevitable" #LLM future:

https://tomrenner.com/posts/llm-inevitabilism/

> This is a fantastic framing method. Anyone who sees the future differently to you can be brushed aside as “ignoring reality”

It is interesting that in discussions with mass #surveillance supporters they using the similar technique: govt and corps will collect all info about each human being and it is inevitable "so just relax" and don't resist

@vermaden Not surprised, since we as a community found that:

- The rumors about "all X11 developers get tired of that pile of crap, stopped new releases and switched to Wayland" were just a corporate propaganda

- The RedHat/IBM/FreeDesktop messed with development process of X11 trying to label it as a "obsolete" and "unmaintainable"

- Some statements, like "X11 doesn't support mixed DPI" were just a fakes, for example: https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/mixed-dpi-x11/

Okay, let's gooo!

@jae It is already turned to the not so nice project :dragnsarc:

@Lemonid The second quarter of XXI century is literally this #meme :

@amszmidt @emacsnews Awww, thank you for clarification and a photo! :dragnaww:

@amszmidt @emacsnews Hmm, I'm relying on the info from https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MovingTheCtrlKey#h5o-1 , also I saw a some photos of old terminals and keyboards where the [Ctrl] was on the same row as [A] key, like: [Ctrl] [A], [Ctrl] [CapsLock] [A] and [CapsLock] [Ctrl] [A]. Is it some kind of myth that #Emacs C-x ... keychords were used because they were easy to press on such old terminals?

@emacsnews I can share the same personal experience — using #Emacs for a lot of years with default keybindings — no RSI symptoms. Ofc I rebinded Ctrl to CapsLock like in the old terminals where the first Emacs were used.

I start to feel smth like RSI symptomps (continious pain in right hand's wrist) only after I use a badly designed mouse for a long time :dragnsad: After switch to trackball these symptoms were vanished
