Wish I could too. I ended up running Windows, Linux and MacOS. While gaming is getting there, tools in many many domains are still unsupported, e.g. Office, Adobe, Audio Production. No OS is perfect and running all three is the way for the

Last time I used Matrix for our internal team notifications were beyond broken and we moved to Zulip, verification and authentication were also very funky at the time, I don't dare to try it again.

I tested three pieces of hardware with different chips: T480, X670E Taichi, USB Bluetooth dongle All worked better with Windows than Linux. It may depend but I hoped at least one would be good..

I find the /usage command most interesting as it's giving you a % towards your limits and when they reset rather than having to note all of that down and guess when you'll hit them.

I did this a few months back and never looked back. Linux failed me in music production and gaming, while the latter isn't important, I have invested heavily in audio VSTs and it's unacceptable that even with Wine, they do not wor

What about other Emacs functions such as org-mode? Or did you never use them to begin with?

Kagi has been a great asset for the past year, their support team is phenomenal and responsive. The result quality is great and have seen co-workers eyeing the service because of what they've seen.

It is not just _running_ things that's the problem, authentication and authorization are massive, I've attempted to run various Audio plugins with Wine which either do not run at all or they run on a one-time basis which is not fe

The last 3 times I installed Windows 11 _and_ used an account were a nightmare as for some reason, Microsoft would disable my account for logging in during an install... I avoid Windows like the plague but it's the only place where I

Clojure was not "popular new" to be "boring" in a way, but it is boring in the sense that it works in a predictable manner, I use it for backend and data analysis, just works.

Wozniak is incredible, it saddens me that SuperMemo will probably drift into obscurity due to being closed source and the chances of seeing its source code drift away day by day, it took a few years to get anything beyond IE support after t

Unfortunately, they seem to have moved to a different vendor for payment processing in the past year or two and now I get "The product you selected is not available in your location." Lucky me I still have V1 from a few years back

A little too late for my team, we switched two weeks ago from Element to Zulip and the difference in communication is night and day. Features such as mentions, notifications and threads (topics in Zulip) are vastly more stable and consisten

I have found Clojure to be fantastic to run a backend service that requires data analysis and processing. Currently I use Clojure as the backend to power iData[1], a website filled with data visualizations and processing. My biggest project

Sadly I'm moving back to Windows by the end of the month due to the lack of audio production software, the only area where WINE, virtual machines with USB passthrough fail.. I'll still use Linux VMs for various services while my h

I have a 7950X which I run in Eco mode with air cooling and it's amazingly quiet when not under load and rips when it needs to, I don't see a reason to upgrade any time soon.

Why do you think the threaded discussion feature is awful? I find it useful to keep track of multiple running conversations with someone or have a topic discussion within say a #Help room.

Music from code is a very interesting idea, but it always struck me as a something to be done after a melody is made rather than a tool for creating music. The instantaneous translation of motion to music on an instrument is difficult if no

Before MuseScore being saved I had to run a Windows VM with Cubase/NotePerformer to get decent mock-ups. I'm waiting Debian Stable to receive a better Pipewire with the next version. Truly a phenomenal year!

Only did a cursory read and I love it already. I tried sharing my own thoughts a while back but it was a first pass kind of post, this is much more complete. I'll be digging into this later!

An article I've been writing for the past couple of weeks. I've read a lot about people switching and trying PKM systems but few writings on how the systems performed.
