Distributed, repo-native, local-first, keyboard-driven, event-sourced issue tracking backed by Git.
🚨 Oh no, tech hipster alert! Someone's worried about their precious
#Bun, now owned by *big bad*
#Anthropic. 😱 But don't worry, Bun-nerds, it's still
#open #source, and the roadmap's intact—yawn. Just another day in the world of "I swear it's different this time"
#JavaScript #alternatives. 😅
https://wwj.dev/posts/i-am-worried-about-bun/ #techhipster #HackerNews #ngatedI am worried about Bun
Bun is excellent software. Anthropic owns it now, Bun sits under Claude Code, and Claude Code getting worse makes me worried Bun could follow the same enshittification path.
👴📚 Oh, look, tech hipster dusts off ancient MacBook to play with an esoteric OS nobody uses, and then cries when
#FreeBSD predictably lacks support for his relic's Wi-Fi. 🧙♂️📡 But don't panic, folks—our hero summons AI to do the coding heavy lifting because, you know, why learn something new when you can just outsource it to a robot? 🤖🎉

My old 2016 MacBook Pro has been collecting dust in a cabinet for some time now. The laptop suffers from a “flexgate” problem, and I don’t have any practical use for it. For quite some time, I’ve been thinking about repurposing it as a guinea pig, to play with FreeBSD — an OS that I’d aspired to play with for a long while, but had never had a real reason to.
During the recent holiday season, right after FreeBSD 15 release, I’ve finally found time to set the laptop up. Doing that I didn’t plan, or even think, this may turn into a story about AI coding.
🤡 Oh, look! Another tech hipster trying to fit
#Linux on a shiny new MacBook Air
#M2, because why use a system that’s made for it when you can struggle with compatibility issues? 🧩✨ Pro tip: Maybe next time, just buy a laptop that actually supports the OS you want to use—unless frustration is your new hobby! 😂💻

Asahi Linux with Sway on the MacBook Air M2
I bought a MacBook Air M2.
As of writing, it's very affordable with the 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 13.6" model available for $750.
As of writing, also Asahi Linux doesn't support anything newer than M2.
🌲🦄 Ah yes, the classic "I moved to a forest to unleash my inner
#open-source genius" saga, because apparently modern civilization is just too mainstream for true innovators. 💻🌲 A riveting tale of a tech hipster who needed to trade Wi-Fi for tree WiFi to finally discover the mysteries of compiling code in nature's embrace. 🌳✨

💾 Behold, the epic saga of a tech hipster's daring escape to the ancient realm of Mavericks! 🧙♂️ Because when modern macOS and Linux just won't do, running a decade-old OS is clearly the pinnacle of enlightened computing. Who needs security patches when you've got nostalgia? 🙄✨

You can tell I’m an ed fan. Not only do I use it for esoteric challenges or compiler building, it also is my new SSG (Static Site Generator.) So here’s how it works:
Ah, the nostalgic drivel of a tech hipster clinging desperately to an outdated OS like it's a vinyl record 🎶. Apparently, choosing between
