Sabine is the poster child for science populism. She got chewed out by academia for having mediocre research ideas and now she loves to claim that there’s a conspiracy to take funding from her favorite fringe fields and give it to the establishment. But when confronted she falls back on deflections about sexism in science. Now she’s rage-bait content creator because no one wants to deal with her nonsense, science or otherwise.

Two things can be true; academia has a sexism problem, and the scientific community is tired of her particular brand of fringe bullshit (MOND and LQG). We can talk again when that fringe stuff can deal with observations of the cosmic microwave background.

The AfD are neonazi scum. Musk should be sold per pound to feed the poor in eastern Europe if he’s so fond of the AfD’s fake rhetoric.

That’s also true! I’m really disappointed in what the XPS line became after 2020. :(

I have one of these and its been a nightmare of a machine. Linux works just as it’s supposed to, but the computer internal design is hot garbage.

The real problem is that certain XPS laptops like the 9500 had terrible design problems that dell tried to mask with software in linux. E.g., speaker balancing or high idle power draw. Other design atrocities such as unstable touchpads or improper grounding were initially blamed on linux even though the problem was hardware.

I got mine two years ago and I’ve regretted it since two weeks into it. But since my job bought it for me, I’m stuck with the POS. Do yourself a favor and stick with Thinkpad, or even better Framework.
