It's an ActivityPub browser, arguably ๐Ÿ˜…

  • Code in VSCodium
  • Code in Kate to keep thing fresh
  • Code in Nvim because I still need to learn it
  • Cry while debbuging a React app because the error messages aren't very good
  • Wish I were working with Svelte or had enough backend experience to switch to being a backend dev
  • Play with terminal configs and shell scripting to distract myself from my woes
  • Rinse and repeat.

Aside from the (not so much) jokes, give VSCodium a try, it's to VSCode what Chromium is to Chrome, and works just as well.

I'll assume here you're talking about eating outside your main meals, and you're mainly eating for that dopamine reward.

Usually low calorie snacks (fruits, veggies, etc) are a good choice, but even eating too much of them can be detrimental. Best alternative IMO is finding something that distracts you from continuously eating. Preferably some activity that requires your attention and needs your hands active (so just watching a video isn't gonna work in this case: it's easy to continue eating while watching something).

In my case, I'd start doodling and fiddling with Lego blocks or something.

Cute logo, although it sounds like it's related to FireFox somehow.

Holy hell naw, mate. I'm about the same age as the 1st person cited in the article, and what she does is beyond creepy. Screw that shit. If you need to know where someone is, just ask them, ffs

I'd rather someone's first choice about Linux was which DE to use. This plays a way bigger part in first impressions.

~~The obvious choice is KDE, ofc~~

That's not a career ruining issue tbh, if someone "finds out" and the conversation isn't favourable you can just pass it as "it was a phase of mine". I used to do art for small games and commissioned paintings and signed some stuff with a pseudonym similar to this one before, no one ever minded it.

Most professional contacts couldn't care less about random internet comments though, especially in the artistic industry. I'd be more worried if you were to work in a law firm or some IT defense contractor. And if a business that shouldn't be this serious does such a thorough background check and finds issue with political views, it's probably a red flag.

Ooohhh that's new to me, definitely a cool possibility. One more app to host on my wishlist

Some fetishes are best kept hidden.

Do our upvotes and comments function as "likes" and comments on the peertube instance? I just started following The Linux Experiment and it'd be nice to comment from here.

That definition does sound clearer in regards to usage, I agree.

The way I labelled my "social circles" are because I'm focusing more on the distinction between people I know IRL but aren't necessarily on the same political communities I frequent, and those communities. But for most people the labels you suggest make more sense indeed.

My best advice would be to mainly separate your work identity (accounts, apps, devices, pseudonyms, etc) from your personal identity.

Ideally a person could have 3 "profiles" for interacting:

  • a work one, where you should be as "mainstream" as possible while trying to not favour the bourgies
  • a personal one, for family, friends etc, where you can be yourself but tempering some views that they might not be ready to understand
  • a political one, where you can freely study, talk about and try to push forward the kind of society you strive for.

I don't do that perfectly, since at some point I mixed my personal and political "profiles" for a while, but I do that compartmentalisation to better help me deal with different kinds of folks and avoid some privacy risks. I work with all kinds of people, but the only colleagues I expose to communist discourse and ideas are the ones I know for a fact are already lefties. Has been working fine. People can know I'm a leftist, but not everyone needs to know I'm a communist.
