I’ve been on Fedora Gnome but wonder if I’d like Plasma. I know that I can try it on a USB stick and I’ve also read that other people have made sure to install their operating system and their files on different partitions to make distro switching easier.

Yeah, last June. I switched from an M1 Air to a 13”, 7640U.

I’m running Fedora. Other than some h265 and heic codec/file format issues, (I’ve had to convert videos and photos to more open codec/format), it’s been a great machine.

I miss the battery life of the M1 but I enjoy the comfort of knowing I can upgrade storage or fix anything I want when needed.

Other than personal web browsing, I do web development and tinkering with music creation (Bitwig).

I don’t think I’ll ever buy another Apple machine. I want to use devices that are repairable, support those companies, and use software that is open source or multi-platform without continuing subscriptions.

Now that I’m personally invested in Linux, I’d like to contribute to desktop app projects that are open source since now, I am also a user.

I have gradually been moving my digital life away from Google and Apple/iCloud.

Sounds like I should upgrade to the $100 subscription in support on Anthropic.

Dark Money has nothing to do with being able to consolidate power, gerrymander, and reduce the system to a two-party system whose members seem to be mostly under the influence of their own desire for gain? Which brings us back to the money…

That’s hilarious. Maybe there’ll be an episode in some show a decade from now, inspired by this.

Four years is enough time to figure this out, but I still wonder whether it will actually be enough time for Los Angeles to figure this out.

Why not start today on making Los Angeles less car dependent and more mass transit oriented?

Kanban: See tasks that need to be done, do them and drag them to done.

“Scrum”, has turned into a ridiculous mess of meetings and estimation when we’re always bad at estimating. Then there’s the attachment to the “two-week” sprint and velocity blah blah blah.

It’s usually always frustrating.

I prefer Kanban.

This sounds like wonderful! Maybe one day I can have a few of these “babies” that I can lovingly raise, providing joy to both the dev and the customer.

I’ve worked with React, plenty of years. I haven’t had to touch it in months and don’t want to.

Seeing JSX and reading about all the complexity in this post makes me hope I’ll never use React again.

BTW I do like JavaScript.
