   Yep, it's why I said at the start I'd imagine the default setup in Fedora with GNOME probably works fine.

   Couldn't agree more, but what's the fun in tinkering if you can't kill some time doing it?

   I think the real answer is buy a laptop that just works and don't bother with Apple devices. However it's nice to be able to re-purpose old hardware, even if it's a bit of a hill to climb :)

   Author here. Post is a bit rambling but I just wanted to document somewhere the things I encountered along the way with links to resources, to save someone having to trawl the web for it next time.

   I honestly could not care less about statistics of the redesign, although user numbers would be interesting The new design is an absolute train wreck, it loads in slowly, feels like you're constantly running through treacle to do anyt

    Few reasons, it's been 9 years since the last crewed spacecraft took off from American soil. Second reason is this is the first time the spacecraft has been built and run by a commercial company (spacex)

    I installed Fedora on my Macbook Pro 2015 a few weeks ago to try it out, mainly because of one killer app - the i3 window manager. It's been a blast, albeit not without some frustrations. The good - WiFi worked out of the box - i3 is a

    On a similar note, my blog is hosted on github pages. Due to laziness and inertia I've kinda just left it there as it just works, but the lack of control makes me uneasy. So at some point I want to move it, hosted by myself (with CDN)

    Ah, ok thanks. Well, I've just cancelled it. No turning back now!

    I subscribed to the NYT crossword app at some point in the past as I used to enjoy doing the puzzle on my commute, but I don't know how to unsubscribe now that I'm working remote. I'm from the UK and pay the sub via Paypal, i

    Been an avid beancount'er for about two years now too! I've never used the import features, the manual inputting of transactions into a text file doesn't take too long.

    I miss forums too, I really like reddit for finding interesting stuff, but the community aspect isn’t there so much. Back in the late 90s early 00s I was a member of a forum for a chain of video game stores in the UK, it was an amazing comm

    A bit disappointing the 32GB ram option is only available on the £1,799 model (which, when added, bumps the price to £2,199) Interestingly on that model the RAM is running at a higher speed (3733MHz LPDDR4X vs. 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory) I&#x27

    I guess one concern might be the author wanting to push the images to a public repo so other people can use them - which would probably get the author into a bit of trouble for distributing paid content.

    Absolutely blown away by how good Factorio is, fiendishly addictive, seemingly endless possibilities. I can see why it appeals to those with an engineering/tinkerers mindset. Also from this post I just learned that Copy/Paste is a

    I have ups and downs, I really enjoy programming when I can get my teeth into something I'm really passionate about, but there are other parts of the year where I fall into a "programmers block" and can't bring myself to

    Not sure if I added my blog late to that thread but it's not in the dataset. Granted there were a lot of URLs in that post!

    I really liked this video, it highlights that a lot of software we write is ephemeral and will one day either be retired or stop working. The frequently updating title thing is cute, it'll be interesting to see what dies first - YouTub

    We played this the other week https://skribbl.io/ and had a zoom call alongside. It's online pictionary and seemed to work very well, although admittedly the scoring does depend on people's typing speed
