Oh no! My precious productivity. How will I ever afford my fifth super yacht?

I’ve been using Syncthing and KeePass for years and it’s been fantastic!

At this point I can’t help but think that the Omarchy funding is some sort of money laundering scheme. I just don’t get it.

Nothing to do with technical merit. Its all AI tech bro influencer bullshit marketing. Oh, also mixed in with a bit of racism and fascism.

Very nice!! I haven’t looked at Surface support in a while. How well does the pen work?

Soon

This makes me want to rewatch it again too. Especially season 3!

You only get the phone call if you’re on ARM.

Also games I bought on Steam 20 years still work on my PC today.

I have no way to play any of my digital console purchases without pulling out old hardware that may or may not work anymore. And that also assumes I still have the game downloaded on that console.

GNU/Linux

Agreed! I think both linting and type checking are extremely important to Python, but it’s also an extra step that far too many people just don’t take. And honestly, I used to get tripped up sometimes with setting up Python tooling before I started using uv.

Unfortunately I also have to work with the occasional Python script that someone just slapped together, and that’s something far too easy to do in Python. It does kind of remind me of vibe coding. Initial velocity seems high, but if you’re not thinking about it, long term maintenance tanks.

That’s not to say Python is bad, and there is certainly a lot of good Python code out there too. But it’s a language that does make it easy to make a mess, which will probably be compounded by LLMs.

I find that Python requires a fair bit of discipline to keep it readable, and I’ve seen some very unreadable code written by people. Vibe coding with Python’s dynamic nature seems like a match made in hell.

It won’t be discounted, but I’m looking forward to Death Stranding 2 which is out that day.

That gum you like is going to come back in style

We need to solve a lot of problems like energy and resource usage to make it sustainable at a small scale and don’t feed the bubble and by extension the repercussions it will have on the world economy.

Just a few tiny little details to work out, to do “some very specific and well outlined tasks”. And while those things are being worked on, which may or may not be solvable, real and actual damage is being done now. But hey, who cares right?

You’re getting downvoted because AI is causing so much damage and ruining so many things. People still using AI are just adding to the problem and continuing to legitimize the bullshit.

If you truly want to learn aesthetics, read some books, take some classes, get some practice. Learn a new skill!

That makes sense to me! Good behaviour should be rewarded.

Not sure what you mean exactly. JavaScript, for better or worse, is sort of essential to the modern web. You could write things in Clojurescript, but that still compiles down to js.

There is Nyxt which is written and extensible with Common Lisp.

Maybe something has changed, but I don’t think I can buy Amazon mp3s in Canada?

That’s a tough one for me anyway. On one hand, owning music is something I value, but on the other hand Amazon is a company I cannot support in good conscience. I feel like the person in the two button meme!

And yet, in my own sort of hypocrisy, I currently use a Google Nexus phone flashed with Graphene. But… I still gave money to Google. Ethics are difficult. Something about no ethical consumption. 🙂
