Yeah. Has not aged well.

He’s our newly appointed FBI Director.

I’m in a similar situation. Not to make the switch harder on you, but someone here posted a page with a bunch of reviews of email providers, calling out things like cost, privacy practices, and cooperation with the federal government. Here’s their entry on mailbox.org. You might want to read through some of them while you’re still in the free trial.

That pic looks very much like the corner of a memory validation lab I worked in at one point. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if someone who’s really into server hardware had a home setup like that.

I couldn’t tell you when it started, but it’s definitely a thing now, which is why projects like noTunes exist

I’m using a new M3 MBP at work and it literally brought my compile time from 20+ minutes on a pretty beefy Windows machine down to about 6 minutes. Based on that alone, it’s hard to imagine using anything else for serious dev work at this point.

Having said that, there’s a lot of goofy Apple fuckery going on too. Multi-monitor support is limited to two displays, so if you want more than that you’re stuck with an expensive third-party dock and DisplayLink drivers, which cause color artifacting in high motion like you’d expect from a heavily compressed video, which leads to eye strain. Mouse support is terrible without a third party app to fix the goofy scroll wheel acceleration curve they’ve built in, and even buying first-party peripherals doesn’t solve it. I need a third party app just to prevent Mac OS from opening iTunes every time I connect a Bluetooth headset… So many little dumb things to deal with.

FFXI for me. It’s a lot better post Steam Deck, but last time I set it up on Linux (maybe a year ago) a lot of the visual mods that are registry-based weren’t working properly, the font rendering was awful, and certain addons and plugins just didn’t work (guildwork in particular since it launches a background exe, others related to showing/hiding certain UI elements.) It runs, but it’s far from comfortable. Might be good enough in a VM and I’ll probably try again next time I resubscribe.

I started putting mine in a binder with clear sleeves, roughly sorted by theme.

I recently bought one of those hundred packs from Amazon for like $6 and picked about 30 to keep. Still indecisive about which ones to use, and most of those 30 will probably go in the sticker binder. The rest are in a bag that I’ll probably drop in one of those little library boxes for someone else to sift through… or hold onto for like a year and then throw away.

A language is only as enjoyable as the hellish legacy projects that you’ll actually spend your time maintaining.

I tried turning that on but it only applies to California residents.

CopenHill deserves a mention, although it would be nice if it were more of a blueprint for industrial architecture going forward, rather than a wonder unique to one progressive European country.

Honestly, it just looks like a content blocker dropped some ads from the grid and there are either leftover containers or some CSS that’s expecting elements to be in a specific order.
