If you’re very bothered by the ads, instead of an adblocker you can try out an Ad-blocking DNS. Personally, I use noads.libredns.gr

This will allow them to see all your data though, so I recommend using this method with a reputable VPN.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏

Basic, but Ubuntu. It’s got snaps which are slow and generally suck, plus Canonical

Interesting, thank you for sharing. I’ll have to give it a go next time!

For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.

Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn’t know about Flatpak back then).

I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.

I think this is the perfect post to bring up XWayland.

That being said, I haven’t used it yet (so I can’t comment on whether it works flawlessly)! Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with it? I’m curious on it and don’t have my hands on a Linux machine at the moment

I also had no idea he made RSS

I can also back that up! KDE feels way faster than Gnome (and especially Cinnamon) on older computers

If you’ve never drank coffee, you should be using Windows lol

My one big gripe with Mastadon is that images take absolutely forever to load if they have even a marginal amount of pixels. I scroll art often and I’m left waiting for greater than a minute for these things to load (and I’m on a very, very fast connection).

I was, indeed, a frustrated developer. Struck at the worst possible time, too

Super glad! Could not imagine my life without Prettier

This was such a cool video. I love Sebastian Lague

Nice! One thing you may want to look into is using vscode.dev. Since VS Code is an Electron app, they can host the entire editor on this site. This effectively means you can code from that 😉

You could also try simply connecting to your normal desktop and using your phone to control it. That’s worked for me in the past

Not sure! There hasn’t been any communication between the dev and userbase for quite some time

Somehow Joey for Reddit seems to still be working???

fuck spez

I’m sick and tired of working for other people. Having to take PTO to do literally anything you want to do on a weekday is so fucked, and I’m one of the lucky people (who works PST while in EST). Corporate policies and politics truly do run rampant through every company, and I just need to keep working on products until one becomes sustainable long-term.

Feel like that’s the key to financial and physical freedom - making the next big thing, then getting it to a solid state and just doing gradual improvements. Don’t pull a spez, don’t piss people off and don’t add too many new features after a while or you’ll kill what you have. And for the love of GOD, don’t go public.

IPO’ing and going public are what kill companies with great things running for them, simply due to the “keep growing every day until the company inevitably collapses” mindset.
