Buying from shitty companies that exploit a country won't help people on that country.
Those companies do not inject money on the cities they enter. They bribe politicians for advantages, destroy the natural resources, and go as close to slave work as they can while paying no taxes.
Choose whatever laptop you like, and do a quick search on the model for incompatibilities. If there's something critical or long-term, like a very specific hardware module not working well without its proprietary driver, consider changing, but most of the time, Linux will just work.
For distro, PopOS is good. It doesn't come with a bunch of bloatware, but it is also not barebones. Mint is also a great choice.
War profiteer is an interesting way to look at it. If a company doesn't cut ties with warmonger countries, they are war profiteers ?
They should also get away from US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and most of the "developed" countries that are historically exploiting poor countries ?
They sell fucking burguers, if they manage to not put too much garbage in the food to save money, they are doing enough.
I dont think that usability or acessibility gets so much in the way. It's more about thinking webpages as applications instead of documents. Plain html is easier for screenreaders and larger fonts. You can also get responsive with very little css.
Simplicity is just not the goal anymore.
This, if you want to act on something later, just create a bookmark and set a reminder, act on what you need, then close and move on, don't clutter your browser and your head.
Usually, i open one window for each task, so i don't get a lot of unrelated content mixed up and loose focus. I rarely need more than 1~5 tabs.
Or spend a lot of time reverse engineering the game and fixing shit, and completely losing interest in playing once the game is running perfectly.
I really like the identation aproach, or begin/end instead of curly braces or parenthesis. When people start to nest things too deep, it gets painful to look at.
There's more than one way to boycott something. I still search stuff there, but giving nothing back, i block ads and trackers, do not post, comment, or vote. For them, i am just a waste of server resources.
Takes way too long to open, have weird issues all the time
I'm just hoping rockchip gets better kernel support. They are way better positioned on the CxB scale.
