I use neovim for the vast majority of the programming I do but I do still have VSCode installed. Maybe I should just delete it? I opened it after I saw this post and there was a whole bunch of extension updates just sitting there.

Kinda wish GNOME builder was a bit better at being a general purpose editor. That’s just because I’m a bit of a GNOME/GTK pervert though and I would love to use a sexy looking app for dev work.

What language are you using?

It would be less disgusting if they did actually be consistent in their equation. In my experience the sort of people who equated Ukraine and Palestine when they wanted people to support Ukraine are now crying about “violence”, “disruption of peace” and “terrorists” when Palestinians decide to punch back a little.

Damn didn’t realize that JXL was such a big deal. That whole JPEG recompression actually seems pretty damn cool as well. There was some noise about GNOME starting to make use of JXL in their ecosystem too…

The immediate advantage is that you could get newer mesa in your distrobox but continue to use a stable one in the host so that it doesn’t fuck up your more important work. I switched to using containers or flatpaks for everything on my system a while ago. I have a distrobox for running odd games I get off Itch and stuff like Steam/Bottles is from flatpak. I even run Silverblue now and haven’t had any major issues for about 2 years at this point. Hell I was switching between GNOME 45 Beta and 44 Stable like it was no big deal.

Funny story. The first time I read that quote was from Call of Duty 2. I was pretty apolitical and ignorant about history. I didn’t have some blanket negative view of Stalin back then so I actually liked the quote. I didn’t think it was negative or some evil maniac giggling about how he could kill millions because it was a statistic. I thought he was lamenting the fact that the death of one ‘great’ figure would be treated as a tragedy and the deaths of millions (his countrymen) would be treated as a statistic. The Georgian poet strikes again.

Xfce has been great at giving old PCs some extra life. I’ve got some people using a Pentium E2180/2GB Ram/Hard Drive machine for some browsing with Mint Xfce. It runs great and is quite reliable. I just hope that it does eventually gain support for Wayland.

I want to read/listen to some theory. The only stuff I’ve read is ‘Principles of Communism’, ‘Wage Labour and Capital’, ‘Value, Price and Profit’ and I’m halfway through ‘The State and Revolution’. What else would you recommend I read?

Can you share some sources for this? This sounds both amazing and extremely tragic.
