I’ve been on Fedora Gnome but wonder if I’d like Plasma. I know that I can try it on a USB stick and I’ve also read that other people have made sure to install their operating system and their files on different partitions to make distro switching easier.
Yeah, last June. I switched from an M1 Air to a 13”, 7640U.
I’m running Fedora. Other than some h265 and heic codec/file format issues, (I’ve had to convert videos and photos to more open codec/format), it’s been a great machine.
I miss the battery life of the M1 but I enjoy the comfort of knowing I can upgrade storage or fix anything I want when needed.
Other than personal web browsing, I do web development and tinkering with music creation (Bitwig).
I don’t think I’ll ever buy another Apple machine. I want to use devices that are repairable, support those companies, and use software that is open source or multi-platform without continuing subscriptions.
Now that I’m personally invested in Linux, I’d like to contribute to desktop app projects that are open source since now, I am also a user.
I have gradually been moving my digital life away from Google and Apple/iCloud.
Sounds like I should upgrade to the $100 subscription in support on Anthropic.
Can you use all the labeling and other features in Thunderbird?
Dark Money has nothing to do with being able to consolidate power, gerrymander, and reduce the system to a two-party system whose members seem to be mostly under the influence of their own desire for gain? Which brings us back to the money…
Oooorrr…
Next time buy a Framework 13.
Why is a Blackhawk helicopter Performing a “training flight” at night very close to DCA?
Amazon suuuuuuuucks.
“… the rest is developers wanking off …”
Hahaha this made me chuckle out loud.
Apple doesn’t excite me anymore.
Duh
That’s hilarious. Maybe there’ll be an episode in some show a decade from now, inspired by this.
Four years is enough time to figure this out, but I still wonder whether it will actually be enough time for Los Angeles to figure this out.
Why not start today on making Los Angeles less car dependent and more mass transit oriented?
This is the DREAM.
Thanks for sharing Syncthing!
Amen
Kanban: See tasks that need to be done, do them and drag them to done.
“Scrum”, has turned into a ridiculous mess of meetings and estimation when we’re always bad at estimating. Then there’s the attachment to the “two-week” sprint and velocity blah blah blah.
It’s usually always frustrating.
I prefer Kanban.
This sounds like wonderful! Maybe one day I can have a few of these “babies” that I can lovingly raise, providing joy to both the dev and the customer.
I’ve worked with React, plenty of years. I haven’t had to touch it in months and don’t want to.
Seeing JSX and reading about all the complexity in this post makes me hope I’ll never use React again.
BTW I do like JavaScript.
Agreed. Not sure why author is so enraged.
Why is this author so mad?
Imagine being the company that people hate, but feel the need to keep using said companies software simply because of market dominance.
Yeah it was close to “infomercial” levels of cheesy.
This thread makes me happy I didn’t learn to make iOS apps.
Can I set my region to another country?
Sideloading should work for someone who used a phone without an Apple ID (if that’s possible)
Is it enough to make you stop using Apple products? I’m considering it.
How many cities are split by a massive interstate highway? That noise is constant.
Yep.
No one (generally) bats an eye when voting at the city level for a $100mm road package.
But trains?
Freight should move mostly by train. We could build rail lines where there are already highways, just swap a vehicle lain for a train rail, all that 18 wheeler traffic can be reduced significantly.
Safer highways. Less congestion.
“ We haven’t migrated to using the encrypted config/credentials.yml.enc introduced in Rails 5.2. This approach presents us with a few problems, most notably that we run our apps in Rails “production” environment in numerous places (integration, staging, production) and need different secrets for them.”
I think it’s possible to have credentials for each environment. But that’s only as of Rails 6. They may be running older versions (it seems).

Pff
This would make me want to quit.
