Now that Linux is getting popular with the normies and gamers, there’s some gate keeping Harold hardcores who are running Free BSD as a desktop operating system.
Don’t do that. That’s a silly idea. No one’s impressed. You’re using all the GNU tools anyway, with a lot more hassles.
Looking forward to running my AI first company using blockchain and and accepting only crypto, based entirely in the Metaverse.
I’ve been using Linux for around a quarter of a century. I used it on the desktop, in the early 2000s, until I switched to using a Mac (a 2005 or 6 12" powerbook). This week I installed Kubuntu with KDE Plasma on an old laptop. And my god, it’s the real deal. It’s surprisingly good. Maybe I switch?
There’s two things keeping me on iPhone:
I would like to experiment with running an Android phone but those two thing, and especially iMessage, will keep me on iOS forever more.
🖖🏼 I thought Tilly was going to be in Starfleet Academy…
Hmmmm… should I renew? I’ve been on regular paid Duolingo for years, but that this isn’t enough for the “Max” tier and their firing everyone and relying on AI garbage, I’m sceptical.
By the noodley appendage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the flailing tentacles of Cthulhu, why does anyone use Windows server? Windows. Server.
So it turns out, since it’s all lithium ion, that “disposable” vape batteries can be used to power a house.
I closed my Twitter account 2 years ago, as of yesterday and I have absolutely zero regerts.
I want to start reading books again. But I want to do it on a device like a Kindle. But I don’t want to give Amazon a single cent. Any recommendations on how to do this?
Microsoft 365 sounds like a threat.
Well this documentation is totally wrong and broken. Who wrote this garbage? Oh…
Does anyone out there have experience using an open source alternative to Jira? Asking for a company.
Every day not on Twitter is a good day.
I love daylight saving. NZDT should become NZST (we’re on NZDT for a majority of the year anyway)
I’ve been watching a lot of gaming channels on YouTube recently. Not because I’m back into gaming (I doubt I’ll ever be), but because I’m enjoying watching the downfall of overly greedy companies in real time. I used to be a Nintendo super fan. Now I’m hoping for their collapse.
I’ve tried people. I’ve really tried. For the last two years. But I just can’t be efficient in vim like I can in EMacs.
Just had an alarm go off on my iPhone for the first time with iOS 26. And possibly the greatest improvement: the Snooze and Stop buttons are the same size (big), instead of the stop button being bizarrely tiny and tucked at the bottom of the screen.
That finale of Foundation season 3 👨🏻🍳👌🏼💋
I used to travel a lot. I used to commute to Australia for work. Realised today I haven’t left New Zealand since 2019. And haven’t been north of Hawkes Bay or south of Nelson since 2022. And you know what? I absolutely do not miss it.
We didn’t really have a summer at the beginning of the year. And winter has been calm but dark. I’m so glad the days are getting longer. It’s so nice getting home with some leftover daylight.
I see YouTube videos with subject like building a “cyber deck”, or “pocket computers are back” or “I built a computer into a keyboard”. And as much of an IT professional and Linux/CLI person I am, when it comes to practically, yes these are cool projects, but I just use my phone for the same things.
I’ve actually encountered a useful application of AI - automatically written git commit messages. Makes documenting changes extremely easy. Of course it’s a free feature, so won’t stop the approaching AI bubble bursting.
There are many things which bug me about Star Trek Picard, despite me enjoying it. But the most egregious in my option is they renamed the USS Titan (NCC-80201-A) to the Enterprise G. It should have been called the USS Picard. It was right there.
