gparted because it’s the best partitioning manager with a gui that I’ve used

ASUS RT-AX86U + asuswrt-merlin is what I’ve used. Completely stable since day 1 unlike my old netgear router.

DM/PM/IM all mean the same thing

We’d need something more unique otherwise ppl would think it’s just a reddit ripoff.

I have my PC connected to my home theater since I prefer my laptop screen for gaming. I recommend getting a keyboard with a touchpad like the Logitech K400 because it simplifies everything rather than using a separate mouse and keyboard. It’s especially useful if you’re sitting on a coach where using a mouse isn’t ideal.

Windscribe. It’s free but has a 10gb cap per month. I’ve used it plenty of times to torrent movies and they don’t do logging.

I noticed your username is the same as Christian Selig’s on reddit

Yeah I’m fine. I’m just saying that bc I remember I was spending so much time gaming or surfing the internet during covid when I could’ve been learning something new. I’m sure most ppl felt (or still feel) the same way.

Covid has made me realize that no matter how much free time I have, I’d rather do nothing at all than pick up something new.

Yeah and lemmy still shows upvotes even if you get downvoted. Also it doesn’t automatically hide your comment if you get negative votes which I find annoying on Reddit

ASUS RT-AX86U w/ Merlin. Been super stable since day 1.

Used to use a Netgear R7000 AC1900 and it would keep randomly disconnecting due to the poor firmware.

def the iPad air. iPad mini’s screen size is too small.

I bought the M1 iPad Air for note-taking and college and it’s been very good for portability and screen real estate. It’s cheaper than the iPad Pro and there’s not much of a difference except for the screen size.

Also like others have said, you can’t replace a proper laptop with a tablet. I own a MacBook Pro and use the iPad for hand-written note-taking especially for math classes. You’ll need a laptop to do your work whether it’s Windows or Mac.

One of my favorite features of Lemmy is that there’s an actual functional downvote button. So many platforms nowadays are removing the downvote button or straight up making it useless. I remember when YouTube used to have a proper downvote button and it made it so easy to tell when a vid was not good or clickbait. Even on Reddit, the downvote button just changes the total score but it doesn’t actually show the number of downvotes. Being able to see the actual number of upvotes/downvotes is such a nice thing to see coming back.
