The vitriol the "Clean Code" cult has against comments is unbelievable...

Linux?

It's so nice to be excited about my OS again. I remember as a kid, I used to be really excited about Windows updates. People were cynical about Microsoft even back then, but I remained loyal to Windows for years.

Only last year did I finally move to Linux as my OS (although I still use Windows for gaming). Since then every following Linux news is always exciting. New versions of distros, desktop environments and software always bring interesting improvements.

Meanwhile on the Windows side, most noticeable updates just bring more ads, tracking, forced Edge recommendations and forced logins. Ironically the last Windows feature I remember being genuinely excited for was WSL 2.

We did it Lemmy!

You are now required to use the command line just to think.

Who would ock Firefox?

The thing I dislike most about Atlassian products is that each of them has a completely different formatting engine and markup syntax. You'd think they'd be consistent but noooo

Don't try to turn Gnome into something it wasn't designed to be.

Don't tell me what to do. We all have our own preferences, that's the beauty of Linux.

Personally, I have tried many different desktop environments with various customizations. I still think that GNOME + Extensions is the most beautiful and productive desktop experience for me.

Even despite the obvious flaws of GNOME, I still find it easier to customize and configure to my personal preferences than other desktop environments.

It's not sleeping I'm worried about, it's not waking up.

Video game price have significant differences across regions though, even when you take cost of living into account. Some of these regional price differences are ridiculous.

You're the guy 1984 was talking about...

Working from home has killed PC gaming for me. I have no desire to sit at my desk after a full work day.
