It's New Year's Eve, and I'm writing a blog post that I have to publish by midnight.

Here's the best thing I've written this year. It's about parenthood.

In retrospect I'm probably not the target audience for this book, but it might be interesting to someone who doesn't know anything about open source.

Sometimes I wonder if I should switch back to Linux but then I see shit like this which reminds me of the day to day experience.

I remember having to run scripts whenever I plugged in my headphones to fix some audio driver issues, etc.
wayland is giving me issues with my nvidia gpu and i can’t use x11 because of my monitor setup

ableton is not working anymore because the specific version of wine that i need to use stopped working and i can seem to fix it without rebuilding

and i am having some audio issues

It would be great if this app could detect when I’ve already seen an image and then stop showing it in the discover feed.

I think I’ve seen Camus’ winter quote more than twenty times and now I’m seeing that graph how Bluesky has overtaken Threads in the number of users over and over again.

“Health lies in action, and so it graces youth. To be busy is the secret of grace, and half the secret of content. Let us ask the gods not for possessions, but for things to do; happiness is in making things rather than in consuming them.” — Will Durant

Thankfully, there’s no revenue sharing program here which heavily incentivizes that garbage.
one of the best things about being here so far is the lack of engagement farming memes. at least on my timeline anyway 😁 lets keep it that way
