Among those limitless git guis I started trying out sourcegit and it seems pretty good. To date magit is the only other one I’ve tried, and it’s also really good.
For both our sakes, I hope we can find something that works for us. I don’t need to be on my productivity grind 24/7. I don’t desire that at all. But I really don’t like the feeling of completely misspent time. I want the balance of doing what I want to do AND totally relaxing (physically+mentally) when I feel it’s time to relax
I've never seen a distro take more than 2gb RAM ootb (ubuntu gnome and kde are probably the "heavy" contenders), excluding precached files. In either case, Windows or Linux, you lose big time the moment you launch a web browser.
I love the thought of productivity being measured as more and more LoC accepted month over month. This month it was 250k, but maybe next month it will be 350! Soon their OpenAI API front end will have more LoC than the Linux Kernel!!
They do love to get together. Sometimes publicly like at Davos to meet at the WEF. Sometimes they like to meet more secretively like at Bohemian Grove. Sometimes they all just know and pay a guy named Jeffrey Epstein.
So it kind of is a cabal. It’s the cabal of people that pay and blackmail each other for favors. And if you’re not quite in the club then you do the legal version of it called lobbying.
The macbook pro is the perfect laptop except for the Linux hill that I must die on. Every time I look at other offerings, they all fail just like Nate is saying in some regard. Screen. Speakers. Keyboard. Touchpad. Thermals. Battery life. The MBP is truly best-in-class hardware. But I just want to use Linux...
What kind of place do you go to to find these things? Sometimes I get really lucky (see my post history about my wonderful new printer), but if I could increase my odds that would be cool.
Dude. I thought That was bad. Just now I went to arstechnica to view one article and I did the same thing to "support" the site. It was 36MB in one minute.
Just yesterday I was on a news website. I wanted to support it and the author of the piece so I opened a clean session of firefox. No extensions or blocking of any kind.
The "initial" payload (i.e. after I lost patience approximately 30s after initial page load and decided to call a number) was 14.79MB transferred. But the traffic never stopped. In the network view you could see the browser continually running ad auctions and about every 15s the ads on the page would cycle. The combination of auctions and ads on my screen kept that tab fully occupied at 25-40% of my CPU. Firefox self-reported the tab as taking over 400MB of RAM.
This was so egregious that I had to run one simple test. I set my DNS on my desktop to my PiHole and re-ran my experiment.
Initial payload went from almost 14.79 -> 4.00MB (much of which was fonts and oversized images to preview other articles). And the page took 1/4 the RAM and almost no CPU anymore.
Does this analysis hold for luxury goods? A Switch 2 is not a necessary purchase, and alternatives to it (games and game consoles) can be found for extremely cheap.
I also think Nintendo has even more strong competition today than it used to with the rise of cellphones and app stores. I'd argue those mobile games tend to be crap, but that's a separate concern from how accessible they are...
Have fun!
