I’m becoming slightly open to the idea of having a computer that isn’t a MacBook, for the first time in, well, since Macs. Apparently the Thinkpad is the one to go for but I now discover they have a whole load of numbers and letters. <br/><br/>Looking at the specifications on YouTube for ‘greatest Thinkpad ever’ or ‘Thinkpad to install Linux on’ type of videos it looks to me that they’re fine for boring office stuff but I’m using Macs for art and design, and the thinkpads they all mention seem to have basic non-retina screens.<br/><br/>I should point out that I’ve never ever used the ‘windows’ OS, so have never used non Mac computers, but I’ve slightly used Linux as a user (not an expert) since the turn of the century but not on a serious level for art, not while I’ve got Macs sitting around.<br/><br/>Is there an ideal Thinkpad for Linux for art and design? That doesn’t cost too much? That’s still maintainable and repairable? #Thinkpad #Thinkpads 2026-03-09T08:17:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy8n4r2cj5el9zm7vms26gkawqje2myup6m8wt00y0cv0hhckmqvczyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygxatlf8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy7ga7ps78dy92e44v6htkldr6l4nz2j4d8mnz4g36mweyk0tx7esj70mp0'>nevent1q…0mp0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>as in Bill, as in Apple? 2026-03-01T16:13:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv2vzjs962y2f56jdy3kcxzpzrudpw368jrjdm7etffw4wdwekt8czyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygjvpke9 I just had a thought – if Kevin Bacon is in the Epsteen files, we’re all fucked #TOTP 2026-02-27T19:30:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy2l2agj85pdzvee3hq5mvjgm80kxfxknn86xphe4ffp8s07c58jszyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygnwterd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr96gxlwwqxqdad2nxhfv0t40z9l5nyunzcyl9d5z39xhsvag7l5csh7g5z'>nevent1q…7g5z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band / I Predict A Riot<br/><a href="https://youtu.be/kN0IMfxuMPk">https://youtu.be/kN0IMfxuMPk</a> 2026-02-15T11:43:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz9cyhs2d7jtylrvfga03e3lv92pe6gps24ke4q8jgksmua325glczyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygy304tc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9ff34598q75ue0g3l6hkxyl5mxlv8hzr3qc4ad7xecr3j4jhuh5sjff46f'>nevent1q…f46f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>When you say and I quote “like a corporate, big-tech web”, I will contest the use of the word ‘web’ there. That’s exactly what it is not. There’s no web-ness about any of it today. It’s still called the WWW, but really although it’s world and wide, it’s not web. Not at all. Not in any way. Outside of some personal websites there’s no way any such (can’t call it a website, it’s not of a web) site will offer any way to link to any other – why would they, they’d lose you, it’s the last thing any site wants to do. It’s literally the opposite of a web – no interconnection, no acknowledgement that any other site even exists out there, just a trap, once you’re in, you can’t go sideways to another site, only stay here. 2026-02-07T13:45:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst7gmlm9ve4ykfn336wusupda788xpj5wl02ehamylve8ac2u7leszyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygt8gh9n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs22mtzrnkksfpmespts6s3ktwctrfhdg0rdvgyf82agu63c5655cgn2vl0n'>nevent1q…vl0n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>well, this predates the Box Music Now! series, so… which Pickwick album is this #TOTP 2026-02-06T20:18:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstt39urp6sr029mt3la9qfs4prlpvpp47jfknml0020hyj94r6e0czyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygrhx4gv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspf2e4sr3teg2s6ghv800f7usvvzuthqnfdh77z2vx5kxpfrkd3pqm8umss'>nevent1q…umss</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I didn’t really find such an ethos in vintage synths though – although maybe I’m out of touch with what the communication methods are nowadays for synth resurrection. Initially in the 90s I spent most waking and sleeping non-work hours on the Analogue Heaven mailing list which was exceedingly prolific back then, I’d post manuals and circuit diagrams I found to other people halfway around the world and they’d do the same to me, using the actual postal service – this was an oftentime thing, all arranged on the mailing list. We’d spread a lot of wisdom (eg your Korg PolySix battery is probably leaking acid at this moment).<br/><br/>More recently, back before Mod Wiggler when it was still Muff Wiggler, I had good discussions with others about what I was doing to rebuild my ARP 2600 (the 4019 VCA was dead and a solid block of epoxy as I found when I cut into it, I rebuilt one on veroboard) and there’s a lot of old wisdom there.<br/><br/>What worries me is older people who put up a website 20 years ago with good information on, who might not be around any more, and the website domain is now dead and inaccessible. There’ll be an increasing amount of link rot and I think this will be a signature social ill of the generation that are not even yet born, they’ll be faced with almost every suggestion of where information is turning out to be a dead end. The knowledge will be gone. This gap will be significant. <br/><br/>I wonder if the thing with synths is that we vintage synth owners know we’re sitting on a pile of atrophying decaying dust-attractors, and rather than think about the long-term value of it, we’re always considering offloading it so that it’ll be someone else’s problem. 2026-01-29T11:41:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrzu3u0dt0x3redp2rra7gp3zamrr9mvkd4h27gcqnd87u3peyp4qzyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygdduxtf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdh9fwpqu62xmtdtr9pld9j5e6gsudvh28uw8jt49e9t4yxcc78kq83esj3'>nevent1q…esj3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was originally going to suggest AKG as a second choice, and yes probably it was, it has that look #TOTP 2026-01-02T21:32:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqftnneyfqwl5ksqc4skyagka9m9gl3duvrr2a0mwe3qefcl3528gzyza2q8dzju3hf9hpuhlqd3g58gagq0ntc59x9thf9rmdv9jxwufygnr05uw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdvxluup499kmu7fd4fhvvacyvpr05astecjhqcjqlt2pqxltxq9g2gcqgc'>nevent1q…cqgc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>really?

cats and rabbits and photos and art and lunacy and trivia and jokes and a shared despair of the 9-5 and futility of modern life – but there’s also self-appointed newscasters and agenda-pushers who want to make everyone feel guilty and those who post emotively histrionic sensational posts designed to garner boosts + engagement (yes even in the fediverse) and this base layer of negativity can only harm and we’d all live much better lives without it. <br/><br/>Also, newcomers shouldn’t have to conclude that this is what we’re like because deep down we’re better, like we were when we were

am for a few mins I just kept quiet and lurked – but… I have to respond to this<br/><br/>I don’t think you’re correct in what you say, a better UI and better social discovery are nice to have but really won’t impact the user base, not one bit <br/><br/>In my opinion the one single factor that will expand (or shrink) the user base is “what people talk about” in the content<br/><br/>I’m drifting away from the fediverse myself and it’s largely because of what people pick to talk about as their content, what people feel they need to tell everyone about, and perhaps more crucially what the tone of presenting the content is<br/><br/>I’m getting fed up with all this being told off by people who feel they must tell everyone about something bad or some injustice and simply broadcast it to everyone as though it’s their job to be an unpaid professional newscaster whether I like it or not – this is a persistent and thorough torrent of injustices and bad shit being pushed out by people, who I wish would just shut up and not tell me about those things, I didn’t ask them to<br/><br/>And I haven’t addressed that it’s far too technical and the assumption is that everyone knows all the technical words and does technical computer-y things all day so they’d appreciate all the technical posts, I don’t think that’s the off putting factor any more (it doesn’t help, but I don’t think it’s the turn-off for ‘the normal people’ that I used to think it was)<br/><br/>No, it’s all the negative shit – I’m done with it 2025-01-28T20:13:07Z

primarily because I couldn’t stand the other people at school who liked Genesis – it was very much a school band for other schoolchildren and by that I mean schoolboys, not girls – it promulgated a specific Englishness that was to me quite unhealthy and narrow and ‘something to believe in’ and I suspect that the people who got into Genesis at school would later grow up to prize their Englishness and are now adults who want nothing else other than to stop immigration because of this early instilled fiction they participated in at school – it was all too much of a club, it seemed to
