I switched over to Proton from Gmail about 8-10 months ago and it’s been great so far. Folders and filters have been like what I was used to. The only thing I haven’t played around with much is calendar and invites.

I ended up going for the whole proton bundle since it included the vpn, storage, and custom domains (up to 10 addresses I think)

Ah makes sense.

Ukraine isn’t really using DJIs as much (if any at all) as they are custom built FPV drones.

I switched to the Affinity suite today after almost 20 years of using Adobe products. After the trial I realized that I actually enjoyed the layout of the tools and the familiarity between photoshop and illustrator. Their InDesign alternative (Publisher 2) is pretty nice too. It really helps that they’re giving 50% off right now. (Smart marketing btw)

Only thing I’m struggling with finding a replacement for is after effects. I already made the switch to DaVinci for video so motion graphics is the only hole left to fill and then I’m free from Adobe.

I had heard about the petro-dollar exit but the new digital currency they want to implement is news to me. They have quite a few central banks are involved. I wonder what this will do to US finances?

This is crazy and scary. I had no idea a system like that existed.

At my last company, we used the scaled TBD. For personal projects I do the same. It’s honestly really nice. Not having to worry about merging issues between a dev branch and main branch was probably the biggest benefit. The code base also felt more accessible to the team. Cherry-picking a particular commit that a teammate worked on that’s been merged but I needed on my feature/bug branch was also painless.

That’s for that link. I had no idea the black circle was even a screen. Neat device!

How does it work?

You specifically said installing Linux would do that. After already mentioning Linux in your parent comment. We all know what you meant by it. Trying to play it off now makes it seem even less genuine.

Yup. We hit an R3 in space weather conditions over the past 24 hours which means radio comms were impacted.

Space Weather

I’m a sucker for badly designed sites with tons of esoteric information.

I tried to find one that kind of aligned with my interest and didn’t have a crazy number of users like mastodon.social. Reading online about picking instances, the recommendation to pick a smaller instance came up numerous times.

Went with sunny.garden since it’s a creative/artsy/tech instance and it’s been great. My local feed moves at a decent pace with content I enjoy, but I could also see mostly everything else on the federated tab.

Yeah and actually posted 3 days ago explaining a bit about what’s going on.

I hadn’t thought about deploying a web version to GitHub pages. Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I think the same can be said for a lot of fields. E.g., just because someone’s an excellent architect doesn’t make them a good animator by default.

There’s also so many variations on the types of programming. Maybe a mathematician might be better suited for data science rather than frontend stuff. And even then, each person is different and has their own set of skills part from whatever their formal training is.

What I think makes good programmers is having the ability to bash your head against your desk while debugging, but still walking away at the end of the day loving the job and problem solving. Persistence and creativity go a long way in programming.

Same thing I’m doing

That it’s the OS they’ve been using daily for whatever they need to accomplish on a computer, as opposed to just using it occasionally.

I have some answers that might help but there’s a few pieces that I need to write out on something other than mobile. Will reply back in a day or so.

This is really neat. Never heard of it till now. As both an artist and developer I always felt that a decentralized and federated option for audio was the future.
