This bad boy arrived after over a year’s wait. The first impression is superb, and I’m already enjoying the grind of the first ridge of the learning curve.

So there's serverless where you (in theory) pay someone else to deal with the serving of your applications. But when are we getting "pipelineless"?

My four months old baby daughter started laughing hysterically when she saw me do a push-up right in front of her today. And she kept doing it for each push-up I did.

I've never been so motivated in my entire life to du just one more rep.

I've longed for a window switching #workflow on #linux that, as it turns out, is called "raise or run":

- Super + T: Terminal
- Super + W: Web browser
- Super + N: Neovim
- etc. ...

A combination above does one of the following:

- If the program isn't running: launch it
- If the program is […]

I just signed https://www.stopkillinggames.com and encourage you to do the same.

It's an initiative to stop game publishers from destroying games that their customers have bought, which somehow is currently legal. I hope that the initiative will spread in the future to more industries and […]

"Not my job"
June 11, 2025 at 9:34 AM
Is there any open alternative to Linkedin? Is there one in the Fediverse? I hate the fact that Microsoft has monopoly on the job hunting market, and I despise the fact that I'm practically forced to use it when looking for jobs.

I get mildly annoyed when mobile-optimized versions of websites lack core functionality that the desktop version has.

I get furious when my web browser's "request desktop version" button gives me the same mobile version of said website.

To all the linguists out there, does the word "either" in the phrase "either A or B" add an "x" to its "or" to create "XOR" (exclusive OR)?: "A xor B".

Or is "either A or B" synonymus with "A or B" in the logical sense?

Pewdiepie's message in his latest video is excellent: we don't have to deal with Big Tech's bullshit and Linux and open source is fun and awesome. With his massive audience I'm hopeful that this might become a pivotal moment in the desktop Linux adaptation in the mainstream, especially in the […]

My wife got me an ergonomic mat for my standing desk today for my 30th birthday, and I'm genuinely thrilled.

I think I'm officially old.

Please make the Linux distro "EU OS" a thing! We need increased digital sovereignty, and to stop depending on Big Tech™ in the public sector

EU OS: A European Proposal for a Public Sector Linux Desktop
There are many Linux distributions, but now there's a proposal for one that's specific to the European Union government and nongovernmental organizations.

It's so incredibly dumb that you in iOS can't just select and copy any text you want, like you can on desktop operating systems.

I just want to copy this part of a text message or that part of a Mastodon post. The fact that the app has to explicitly allow me to do that, and it's basically just […]

Trump voters are like sports fans. Even if they realize they're they're cheering for the worst team in the world they'll never switch teams, because it's part of their identity and they're loyal. All they can do therefore is to cheer.

Politics shouldn't be about cheering for teams. It should […]
