Beware, though, that not all of them are really connected. For instance, beehaw recently defederated from lemmy.world and shitjustworks.

I would also add that yes, in general one shouldn’t overthink which instance to sign up on, because you can still mostly view content from all other instances. However, you might take a few mins just to check the rules and philosophy of the instances. It’s basically like assigning yourself to a Harry Potter house. In the end you’ll all end up interacting in hogwarts, but being a slytherin can mean something different than being a griffindor

Yeah, I get that. I feel vs code is in this super weird limbo of a wannabe user friendly editor, but really not. And you have to deal with json configurations and whatnot. Honestly, for me jetbrains ides are the best full blown ides out there (even though I’m personally using neovim at the moment). I do believe though that vs code has its perks, such as being completely multiplatform and very popular on the web (that is, you can easily find solutions for your problems).

Yes exactly. I believe OP is talking about the former, but what he really wants is the latter

I’ve been using an Asus vivobook with an oled screen for the past two months. It works perfectly fine, imo especially on Wayland with the proper scaling setting. The only thing you should be aware of is that some apps still rely exclusively on X, and those will look blurry

Well, there are many things to consider here. First off, let me say I really appreciate your “battle” for open science: I think that’s what we should fight for, and I totally support that (I’m a PhD in computer science, but done with research). I don’t think that the fact that you don’t use FOSS makes your battle for open science any less legitimate, that is still super valid and you shouldn’t feel hypocrite. That said, it is true that Apple does not support or contribute to open source at all (I believe CUPS is one of the few open source things Apple did, correct me if I’m wrong here).

Nonetheless, I totally understand the coziness of having such an integrated environment between all your devices: this is not gonna happen on Linux, or at least not at that level. I do believe that the Linux desktop experience has become much more user friendly (imo much more than Windows for instance), and there are also cool integration options such as KDE connect, but that’s probably not as good and cool as Apple integration.

Committing to open source can be a time-consuming decision, and most people that advocates for FOSS still use or give their data to non-FOSS software (such as Google, Facebook etc.). So, my advice would be to embrace as much as you want of the open philosophy: you’re already “fighting” for open science, maybe you can start using some open source software (maybe your email client? your pdf reader?). Little by little you’ll judge by yourself what and how much you want to commit to the FOSS philosophy :)
