You know a woman invented the first functional compiler (Grace Hopper). It's still in use some places (COBOL).
I just want to add, Gnome 42 compared to Gnome 41< looks fucking horrible. I hate the titlebars so much now that the buttons have these little circles around them; they removed the gradient and made it this 100% flat shit. They literally had it perfect and ruined it with this macOS Big Sur looking flatshit with no taste. Fully opinion of course
Of course there are exceptions but that one person sperging about rust, intricacies of monospaced fonts and linux terminal sofware isn't (and never will be) a woman. I'd even go as far as to claim that women have it harder now because of the trannies and their relentless invasion of woman spaces to the point of exclusion of said women. Normal men usually aren't so aggressively anti-female as trannies often are.
Get something from intel. AMD works too but intel went through greater pains to include their power saving tidbits in the linux kernel and gets better milage out of the battery. Don't waste money on some ancient core2duo era notebook because /g/ told you to. Do some research if the specific notebook that piqued your interest has some pitfalls in linux. It's not the rule but it can happen.
Most actual women in tech communities online don't out themselves because the thirst is real.
Now there's where you went wrong.
Not really, and that's why it's generally phrased as it is. "Implemented" is a pretty important distinction from a proof-of-concept, and at least the general idea of a computer language had existed since at least the Difference Engine, with it becoming clear there would have to be some bridge between the algorithm and something the computer could use.
It's kind of tell-tale that people on there seem to really love laptops with batteries that can only last a couple hours instead of the modern battery times too...
>using your laptop while it's not plugged in
Battery life from a Thinkpad T60p with a nine-cell battery is more than sufficient.
I purchased a System76 "Gazelle" circa 2015 from a business that was selling off old laptops. Great hardware. I used it as a development machine for 2-3 years and had no issues. I later used it 5 days a week as a work machine (4-5 hours/day, mostly data entry/video playback) with an external monitor, also with no issues. The battery eventually went out and appeared to take the rest of the system with it, but mind you, this was 2019 or so and I'd bought it after it was considered "old." It's entirely possible I could have gotten it repaired to squeeze a few more years out of it, but I had no use for a laptop and moved to a desktop for work purposes.
I have to take mine to conferences and there's no way I'm fighting for a plug spot in those auditoriums.
I had the original MacBook (1,1) which was one of those early Core 2 Duo laptops. It was a genuine beast, and finished its life running Peppermint OS. This was one of the last Apple laptops, I think, where you could just pop out and replace the battery. The original battery was crap, and as a result, I used it plugged in to AC at every opportunity.
I recall the battery issues those MacBooks had. Apple had bad suppliers which eventually pushed them into the Samsung or Sony camp for getting batteries.
Carry a small (let's say 3-socket) extension cord. It's not very bulky and you'll become the local hero.

tbh Linux/FOSS GUIs always look like they were cobbled up with random bits of scrap metal
