That’s what all the crazy ones say.

see my other comment, the framework includes “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so it should be able to use other pens it if the one they sell isn’t to your liking.

The Framework 12 lists “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so you can use other pens with it, I think. Your stylus won’t be repairable, but perhaps if you complain at Framework loudly enough they might eventually release a higher quality stylus themselves.

If it’s a limitation of the machine’s hardware/the protocol they support, complain at them for that instead. I’m not an artist so I don’t actually find myself needing/using a pen often, thus I don’t know whether that means it has good or bad pen support, but it certainly sounds like it supports SPs.

The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.

It’s also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I’ve heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.

Dealing with that level of performative bullshit is genuinely agonizing to me. LinkedIn is like my idea of personal hell – everyone, everywhere, up their own ass and completely full of shit, all the time – and I have resolved to never have a net worth or job title that would necessitate using it.

What about the mass of the ass, beauty of the cutie, direction of the erection, dimension of the extension, the motion of the ocean and the size of the rise? All factors must be accounted for and kept in perfect balance in relation to one another, you can’t just give half the formula and then ask the rest of us to extrapolate.

Wait, YouTube’s idea of punishing ad-block is removing the most toxic, worthless part of the site?

Nobody tell them. Not one fucking word. We might even get them to remove Shorts, too, if we pretend this is a bad thing.

Could they suggest something else instead?

I, too, remember candleja

IT’S NOT DIFFERENT AT ALL, IS IT STEVE?

“the birth of superintelligent life”

Whoever wrote this couldn’t huff their own farts harder if they tried.

Boris sounds like a cool guy, I wish I had a Boris.

I would unironically sooner become an actual hermit and never socialize again than give these cretins my ID or even trust that they’ll delete an age verification photo. Knowing Discord? yeah, no, absolutely fucking not

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Not to mention, fully consenting Latinas! I know “not being a rapist” is a really low bar to clear, but for a wealthy, male, politically-connected American in 2026? Fantastic. Wonderful. Groundbreaking.

it’s just the usual “hurr durr anything smaller than .45 is for girls” bullshit. Usually espoused by the sort of ancient old farts who remember carrying one in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam; and who dislike the general shift to smaller bullets going faster because they don’t understand terminal ballistics.

Precisely what I mean. If it were a high enough dose to notice, we’d all be tripping balls. If it weren’t, I would assume everyone to just be mildly more pleasant. And uh… that is absolutely not what is happening. Nobody in the news is pleasant right now. At all. I’m certainly not having a great time, are you?

I’m like 50% certain (as someone who has not partaken in the substances which I’m about to talk out my ass regarding) that OOP must’ve simply meant something less… kosher, shall we say – PCP? Bath salts? Cocaine? Some other drug that would actually account for the insanity? As far as I know LSD is a vastly more pleasant experience than whatever the fuck is going on in the world right now, unless you’re taking really massive doses, in which case… I think things would be arguably less coherent, though you’ve absolutely got me stumped as to how the current news cycle could be more insane than it already is.

Like, I know MKULTRA isn’t that obscure, but I also think it’s possible they just don’t know their drugs.

I’d like to think I’d notice if the world suddenly went all kaleidoscope on me, actually.

No no, you’ll need slugs if you want to hole-punch any body armor.

Not that I would know what you aim on using your wireless hole-punch for.
