God damn powershell. I use my terminal daily! More than daily even! I love my posix compliance and my gnu utilities! I like it when env vars, such as path, take effect without having to restart the top of tree process again. I like that my OS UI isn’t a react native app. I like that my laptop has a longer battery life. I like that sleep works reliably on my machine. I like that I can manage my packages and apps through a package manager (yes, I know you can now do it with winget). I like that I have control over what updates in my system and when and how I am affected. I like that I can use the multiple desktop/spaces features in a nice way and it is not finicky (Mac and Gnome do this particularly well). I like that my system search actually works well. I like that my system doesn’t show me ads when I try to use features of it. I like that when I change defaults on my system, I don’t get reminded to use something else than what I choose. I like that my defaults don’t reset after an update. I like that I can trust my os and that it doesn’t collect all possible data about me. I like that I have the ability to turn features off entirely and avoid them easily, and that those features aren’t straight up spyware.

I have been using Linux since the 10th grade. But for work I’m using a Mac. Because I’m not only engineering, but doing other things related to work, having a Mac is more productive and practical.
I want to avoid building react native apps.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Oh wait… It’s AI. Just to pass the compiler and the unit tests it will either cast to whatever it desires or just make the tests pass forcefully.

Rust helps you resolve memory bugs. Not logic bugs. Yeah, it’s going to be new memory safe code… But it won’t be bugfree code.

Will windows run ok? Yes? Good.
They vibed their way out of the tests
Yeah. I also use auto-completions for that. McFly does fuzzy finding and because it’s a different separate db, for me it works better across many sessions to find commands I had just recently used in another session.
The only company that hasn’t yet managed to build a successful sign-in.

Linux@programming.dev•Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux
10 monthsWhat Valve is doing is making it easier for indie Devs to better support Linux. They don’t have the funds for separate Linux builds. But with proton, it’s a pleasure to make it work. So… It’s great that quality games are coming out of Indie studios and they can be played on linux. Fuck the AAA
JetBrains Mono to the top!
One day I will see this drama… Until then, it will remain only in memes.
I’ve been intrigued by Nix for quite a while. I will learn it as well.
