Excellent post as usual from Troy, but use Bitwarden, not 1Password

We had to fight tooth and nail to get even a few of us able to use Ubuntu on our development machines (even though 90% of our servers are Ubuntu). The old heads in IT were like, “Uhh that open-source stuff? We use Windows for security”. Like wtf?? Lack of cognitive dissonance much? They are completely brainwashed by the old Microsoft FUD

• Hold out your arm at arm’s length
• Make a circle with your thumb and index finger
• Look through the circle at an object on the other side of the room
• Now slowly bring the circle back to your eye, such that your fingers never obscure the object, and it’s always centered in the circle

Which eye did your circle arrive at?

!That’s your dominant eye!<

Dude I was a diehard RIF user, talklittle is the GOAT. I use his app for tildes.net which is also great.

Thanks for the rec, I’ll check it out

The trade-off of Linux vs. Windows means if your game doesn’t run on Linux I won’t buy it.

If you do install Linux (I highly recommend) just know that in Steam, if you buy a game and your library page says “This game is not supported” and the install button is disabled, you just need to right-click on the game (in the left panel), go to Properties -> Compatibility, and set it to Proton Experimental (you can also play around with specific versions of Proton). 99% of my games work flawlessly (n.b. I don’t play competitive online multiplayer any more, it’s too sweaty and time-consuming for me these days). In fact I can’t think of anything that didn’t work. But check ProtonDB real quick before buying (although you can always refund if it doesn’t run).

What apps do you recommend for Android? I’m using Sync which is pretty nice, but always interested to hear other opinions

They don’t actually care about pedophiles; a lot of them are pedophiles

Yes unless you have Pro or whatever

Outlook and Teams have PWAs that are actually more performant than the desktop apps (anecdotal). They are missing some features, but for the opportunity to use Linux at work, I make it work. Have to use Ubuntu for some unknown reason, but it’s better than using Windows

They should both be high compliments imo
