Sidenote: just dropped 150 euro on chocolate, cookies, and candy. Because I'm in the Netherlands, and what North America calls "gourmet quality" is just boring baseline here.
"It's just a bar of Verkade, how sad is your chocolate that you think this is somehow amazing quality?"
lol terminal reflow implementations. "I have some text that may be too long for this terminal, and a list with 120 options that I need to reflow, and then another text and two buttons. Also the terminal has a border and padding".
But we'll get there. Having something terminally that I can slap in front of some node app so I don't need a browser will be nice.
It's 1998, you make a website in the copy of frontpage express that came with your computer, it's just like Word and it's very easy, you figure out how to upload it to the couple megs of web space that your ISP gives you (the instructions are on their website), you visit your site in your browser and everything's fine and the site's readable and everything looks the way it should
đŚ "Wow, if it's this easy in 1998, I bet it'll be even easier in 2026" you think to yourself for some reason

Just saying.
Almost 25 years ago, I wrote a blog post with the title âjumping ship slowlyâ about leaving Windows (XP was awful, it was mind boggling to me that Vista managed to make people nostalgic for XP). My advice remains the same:
Donât try switching OS first. The OS is the most easily replaceable bit in the stack. Switch applications first. Most âLinuxâ apps are cross platform. Theyâll run on Windows, and the few that donât will run in WSL2. You can switch out apps one at a time, and take the time to get comfortable with the alternatives.
Once youâre comfortable not using any Windows-only apps, changing the OS but using all of the same applications is very easy to do. Changing OS and application stack at the same time is an enormous obstacle.
I believe this is also why a lot of corporate and government Linux migrations fail: they try to change everything at the same time and thatâs too steep a learning curve.
Current estimates set the total amount of money that has been spent on large-language models and adjacent generative AI at 1.4 trillion $ over the past four years. For the sake of simplicity let's cut that to 1 trillion $. With 1% of that money you could have paid 25000 FOSS maintainers 100k dollars per year each over the same time period. That probably covers most of the FOSS ecosystem and then some. And it's one percent. ONE FUCKING PERCENT.
