    I found out I can put an ad on the screen in the elevator at work for $15.

    Apparently the way to get me to wake up early on a weekend is a walking tour of the North End. A fantastic time with Max & others.

    A note of thanks to folks like , , & others who came out for my North End tour today. A wonderful conversation about Boston, cities, and others matters. Let's do it again soon.

    Looked up what was at 21 in the USA charts when I turned 21. I’m happy that in the UK we celebrate being 18.

    I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Seriously. To everyone I’ve ever dated. I’m really sorry.

    "Just trolling" means words don't matter. Words do matter. Journalism matters. Consequences matter.

    I’m told the T500 is the most performant Libreboot capable machine out there, if people are interested in the used ThinkPad route.

    I’m going to keep an eye on Purism. I think building new laptops for the free software community is a noble effort. In a world where all the other options are used ThinkPads I commend the work they’re doing but I need a machine that’ll let me get to work when I buy it.

    I’m going to try another Dell XPS. The webcam has moved from the bottom corner and I won’t get a 4K model this time. It’s not the Libre machine I want but it will hopefully meet my desire to buy a GNU/Linux laptop that has good build quality and good experience out of the box.

    The whole experience generally felt worse than the experience I had with my previous ThinkPad and that had the worst trackpad I’ve ever dealt with.

    The load on the machine at basically idle was high. If I had more than a browser with a couple tabs open it was over 2.00 constantly. The WiFi and camera switches are neat but the indicator lights didn’t match the switch status.

    A lot of things like the functionality to suggest programs that aren’t installed never worked, there’s no working Bluetooth on the machine, as far as I can tell the headphone jack doesn’t accept a 3.5mm headset.

    The operating system. PureOS is basically Debian GNU/Linux. It seems mostly decent and obviously helps Purism ship patches for things like the keyboard. But it’s also buggy. I would frequently boot into a GNOME session with no UI elements.

    The keyboard. Firstly the key that does both | and \ is mapped incorrectly in hardware. This requires a systemd patch in PureOS. Also I frequently found keys didn’t register when I was typing.

    The trackpad, while good is unreliable. I found myself frequently trying to select text in a terminal and the cursor would not move with the trackpad held down by my thumb.

    Physically the Librem 13v3 is a bit bigger than a 13 inch MacBook Air. A little thicker but nothing significant. It does need two hands to open it though.

    It took me a while to get the machine. It was ordered at the end of May and it arrived around the 15th or June and I got it on the 20th when I came back to the US.
