One of the things that suprise me the most about my #linux computer: I’m having so much fun!

I haven’t had this much fun with an OS for years, and I love how the opportunities and in some extend limitations make me think creative about how I use my laptop.

My MacBook really isn’t, and never has been, fun. It’s nice, quiet, powerful and all, but not fun in the same way my Linux laptop is.

This has been the same for nearly all the distros I tried.

I’m starting to sound fan-boy-ish…

Essentially it is this, yes.
I'm having so much fun with Grist. Open source spreadsheet-like database-based app builder. Use their hosted version, host your own, or get the local desktop app.

I feel like people think Linux users are rude because Windows users are so incredibly toxic the moment you mention that you use Linux that we're just very guarded nowadays.

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.

Microsoft's drunk-sweaty-dude-pleading-with-the-last-woman-at-last-call vibes with these Windows 11 25H2 update install reminders has me accelerating my move to desktop Linux.

I don't want your CoPilot or your Recall or your AI whatever, or any features that work with it or require it, and I don't feel like rooting through the system settings or registry desperately trying to find ways to disable your new bullshit.

Just fucking no. Fuck off. Fuck you.

In the UK, due to cultural norms there is a slightly different standard for device connectivity known as "Universal Serial Double-Decker Bus" (USDDB).
Ah yes, here we go. A message from the retired US general who once served as the commanding general for US forces in Europe.

Anyone in #Android #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering have a recommendation for UI #framework with a small footprint?

I prefer something that looks okay, but has a manageable dependency tree and codebase-size such that there is some ability to feel like that the scale of what needs to be trusted is at least somewhat reasonable.
