You should give Linux a chance With the release of the new macbooks and the rise of web and electron apps, I truly believe Linux has a chance to finally be significant on the desktop.

I discovered I wrote a post on medium in 2017 about switching to Linux, so I moved it back to my blog: andreapivetta.com/posts/you-sh...

I think 2017 me would be pretty disappointed on how things turned out 😅

did you know there's a free version of age of empires 3 on steam

And I moved my domain from route53 to infomaniak.net

The most annoying thing is that they don't support CNAME records for the top level domain so I now have to redirect to a www. path which looks quite bad but I can survive

bunny.net - The Global Edge Platform that truly Hops Hop on bunny.net and speed up your web presence with the next-generation Content Delivery Service (CDN), Edge Storage, and Optimization Services at any scale.

I recently moved to bunny.net for my very trivial S3-like static website.

Mistral's vibe was able to one shot a script to sync my static files to it with their library, that's basically all I could test so far 😅

Mistral’s competitiveness is now as strategically vital to Europe as its oil supply

Not sure I'd call it a quirk though, using text for configs seems very much intentional to me as it's a far better UX for humans (who know what they are doing) too.

I kept windows on my thinkpad for years to play mtg arena once a month.

Turns out you can install mtg arena from steam on linux with 0 problems now

Something that I used to love One evening, over 13 years ago, I took some trivial CLI program the professor showed us that day and built an Android app out of it.

(I actually wrote about how this makes me personally feel a couple of days ago andreapivetta.com/posts/someth...)

I’m not judging these tools’ quality or side effects. They **do** make me extremely more productive, so using them is kind of mandatory.

I am talking about programming as something I did for fun that just happened to put food on the table. The 'for fun' part is gone. Soon the 'for money' as well.

I agree almost completely except in the very last sentence. I loved figuring out something hard, solving things at the limit of my abilities.

The fun is gone.

everyday i see one more story about someone else switching to linux? So I think so 😅

I gave in to the hype and installed Linux

I remember a few years ago I was listening to an inteview of Guido Van Rossum on the future of programming when he was saying that LLMs are just a tool that allows you not to have to write the boring obvious function implementations.

LOL

The first half of Shippuden is by far the best part of Naruto imo

I also think a lot of discussion moved to Github issues.

But isn't it also normal that fewer questions get asked over time simply because fewer unanswered questions exist? Even as languages / libriaries / frameworks evolve, it's often existing answeres that get updated rather than new question asked.

I've added WASI support to github.com/ziggy42/epsi..., so I can now compile my C qr code generator github.com/ziggy42/QRen... to WASM and run it in Epsilon with 0 code changes 😭
