Hey! As a Odoo dev, it’s really cool to see Odoo mentioned here. I was thinking the same thing regarding its similarities. I’ve always regarded Odoo as the “batteries included” ERP framework. Here in Australia, Odoo is finally starting to h

The comments on the wider internet reminds me of the 90s and 2000s when bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Silverchair were being ridiculed for smashing up their instruments on stage. We’ve come full circle.

I’m a dev lead who is a rusted on Linux user, I’ve always hated that ScreenStudio is Mac only since it’s a great product. Any plans for Linux support? I would love the ability to dem stuff and have it actually look pretty.

This is a fair call, and normally I would run my laptop into the ground, but my HP Elite Book has this habit of thinking it’s still charging when it’s not. The only way around this is to let it drain to 0% battery and all would be good for

I disagree with the sentiment of this article (I don’t remember Microsoft having anything to do with Gnome 3 being…uh…Gnome 3) although I thank it for it unintentionally introducing me to tiling window managers. I’ve been using i3 for over

It’s been a treat watching the progression of Oxide over the past 2 years or so. I really hope they make a solid dent in the market. As an aside, if you haven’t already, I’d recommend the Oxide and friends podcast.

My work laptop just rolled over 3 years which means it’s new laptop time. After spending some time convincing the higher ups at work, I have a new Framework 13 coming my way (and not HP whateverbook). I don’t think I’ve been this excited fo

Unlike a live usb, Qemu is (mostly?) hardware agnostic. The abstraction means you could run a VM image on a x86 based ThinkPad or an ARM based Mac.

I’ve been really enjoying this year’s batch ccc video's. I hope some decent English translations start to crop up for the non-English presentations. The Breaking Train DRM presentation was fantastic!

When I was living in Thailand, during the weekends I volunteered for an organisation that would make carts using PVC pipes for dogs who could not walk. Those PVC pipes are crazy resilient!

I love this so much! For anyone asking why, the simple answer is: because they can! Hats off to you, Sir. I wonder if this person works in IT? I’m a dev lead, I do silly amounts of hours and when I actually have a decent amount of free free

I’m a long time Debian user but I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole that is NixOS. I’m still ways away from moving my entire dev environment to NixOS, but I definitely see it’s appeal.

Congrats mate! I’ve been following your work on SerenityOS since the 3rd or 4th video, and it’s been amazing to see the progression from then to now! You’ve definitely inspired me out of a few burnout humps over the years.

What a great read. Can anyone recommend any further reading that delves into this period of iPhone development? I vaguely remember reading a similar post some time ago, although regarding iOS development during that period.
