Congrats! For me it also has bin godsend that the company allowwes Linux for developers as an exception. In my case it also means that you yourself are responsible for everything yourself, backup, upgrades, security, etc. The only thing they make sure is that the Cisco VPN is also working (it’s shitty but anyway) with Linux.

But that is exactly what I want. They do offer a corporate Ubuntu image, which I used one time but hated it, so I blasted it and installed Arch (btw.).

I still need to run MS office and Teams, but I do that in the Browser (have to use Chromium for it because it doesn’t work well in Librewolf). But like you say, those pills are much easier to swallow compared to winning Windows 11 on a daily basis, especially as a IT professional.

Take as much paternal leave you can financially band legally. The child bonds with the mom naturally but you bond with it as a father almost as much once you stay with them for a couple of months while mom is away working and not destroying her career. I took the maximum of one year allowed here in Korea without gettin into trouble at work. I don’t feel it had any impact on my career, but it was a time I will never forget as one of the best times I had in my life.

I feel like I’m in good company, I moved my stuff to my own forgejo instance about two month ago because finally I had some time to set one up. I wanted to do it for years because it was embarrysing to host open source code on a closed source platform ran by Microsoft. But my main kick in the but to really just do it was their CEO told his workers to embrace AI or get out: https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrace-ai-or-get-out-2025-8 I knew this is not the place to be anymore.

I’ve been using TextEditor.app on OSX to quickly open it and jot down something during meetings, etc. until Apple put in cloud into it and you needed to first choose the name and the path of the file where you wanted to store it.
This is when I decided to write TextEd.app which would only do what the previous app did, open a new window with a textarea and only when you wanted to save it it would ask you for the path and name. I even removed the RDT functionality and it would be just plain text without anything.

They’re just following China.

Ah nice, I never used pixelfed myself, but on PeerTube and Mastodon I get much more engagement compared to YouTube and Twitter while I was using it.

How about engagement, are you getting more comments?

It was worth it to get rid of us.

It’s easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.

For Bladerunner for example:

Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.

Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”

The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.

And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.

It’s a good movie, I watched it with the kids, we all liked it. Children like it as much as they did Frozen back then.

It’s one of the very few original movies nowadays which doesn’t just reheat some old franchise, so I’m all for it to succeed and show that it’s worth to make new original movies.

I’m already using a matrix bridge for it because I can’t get some cousins to move natively to Matrix. But if that would make it more stable it would be appreciated.

Zero, because when I decide to join a fediverse network, first thing I do I set up a single user instance:

• https://toot.jeena.net/
• https://tube.jeena.net/
• https://piefed.jeena.net/
• https://git.jeena.net/ (they are working on activity pub)
• https://jeena.net/ (indieweb)

Finally! That’s what we all have been waiting for! /s

Yeah that’s what I’m doing but I played for the fast CPU and can’t make it the bottleneck ^^

Gehe, I wonder how well it would work ^^

I’ve been on Linux since 2002.

I just had a look, 2nd of April I payed 67,000 KRW for one 16 GB stick, now the same one (XPG DDR5 PC5-48000 CL30 LANCER BLADE White), they only sell them in pairs, a pair costs 470,000 KRW in the same shop, so 235,000 KRW per 16 GB stick. That is a price increase of 250%, god damn.

Two browsers full of tabs but that is not a problem, but once I start compiling AOSP (which I sometimes want to do for work at home instead in the cloud because it’s easier and faster to debugg) then it eats up all the RAM imediatelly and I have to give it 40 more GB or swap and then this swapping is the bottleneck. Once that is running the computer can’t really do anything else, even the browser struggles.

This is very unfortunate, about a year ago I built my PC and only put in 32 GB of Ram, It was double I had on my laptop so I thought it should be enough for the beginning and I could buy more later.

Already after 2 months I realizes I can do so much more because of the fast CPU in parallel but suddenly the amount of RAM became the bottleneck. When I looked at the RAM prices it didn’t seem quite worth it and I waited. But that backfired because since then the prices never went down, only up.

Wouldn’t it make business even more easy if the capitalists could enslave all of us to work for free for them?
