Ok. Reddit has some really elaborate system where the first upvotes gives 1 karma, then after upvote 500 or something, each only gives 0.5 karma or something, etc.
I bought both my parents new old machines now that they retired, and I opted for a T480 for both. They've been called The Last Great ThinkPad over on r/thinkpad since they are both powerful - first generation with a quad-core processor - and nicely upgradable. The upgradeability also means that you don't have to worry overly about the amount of RAM a used model has: you can always add more cheaply (and very easily).
Would a terminal command be acceptable?
Ko problem. Ok, so just the sum of all up- and downvotes. No dicounting for viral posts, etc.
No points here, only crowd voting based sorting.
How do you tally it? I've seen lots of discussions about guesses about how the reddit system works.
Feedly works well fire me.
I was wondering what was up with the ads consent things. The reason I switched to Sync in the first place was to get rid of ads on Reddit...
I think that's a lot about personal preference. Do you enjoy your machine? That you can't repair it? That you can't easily take your OS with you one to a machine from another manufacture? Maybe you don't care. I do. I think Linux gives you a lot of freedom, but if you don't need or want it, I don't think there is a reason to change. I mean, apart from the whole Apple-being-a-big-coorporation-that-actively-hinders-reparability issue that one might care about from a societal and environmental perspective.
Maybe you could get all the same stuff you need for development in Linux, and a lot more freedom to boot.
I apologize that this comes off a bit hostile. I am a bit hostile. I am also sorry for it!
The Tafkars API might be helpful in that: Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted). To quote,
- I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
Hyper + [whatever]If you are ready to use a bit of remapping (try keyd, it's awesome), then you can remap a key you rarely use to Hyper to get that as a direct modifier.
You can also assign some key to activate a layer when held, but still return it's regular output when tapped. So e.g. holding
Agives you a new layer, press-and-release just printsA.In the new layer, you can then set, say,
f1 = f13... f12 = f24and, say,esc = katakanaetc., thereby getting access to a lot of keys not present on standard western keyboards, therefore not used as standard shortcuts. These you can then use directly, or in combination with standard modifiers likeCtrl,Shift...
