lol, wow. This makes me curious about your cable management. 😁

I grew up with Macs. It’s not that in my case. I’ve used so many desktop environments and window managers in my years, every Windows all the way from 95 until 11, ChromeOS for like 10 years, Gnome since the 2.x days until well into Gnome 3, Xfce, KDE, some more obscure ones like River, Awesome, Mango, etc, and some older ones for X11…, i3 for probably more than a decade also, Hyprland, and now my baby, Niri.

macOS has some of the worst window management of them all, worse than Windows. It’s so clunky and slow. I haven’t used a Mac in maybe 5 years, maybe it suddenly got better after ~30 or so years of my familiarity with them, but god dang. Yuck.

When you realize what else is out there, it’s awful.

Oh, hibernate. My bad. I only use suspend.

I don’t need more shows to watch, honestly. I vault have time and energy to watch my one show that I’m currently trying to finish. 😅

In what sense is it a broken mess? It’s working for me on both my desktop PC and my work laptop. I’m on Linux 7.x (Arch, so always latest release pretty much.) Maybe it isn’t working well with older kernels? Or what can be the culprit here?

Yeah, I bet. It is surely is hard to beat a system where they have full control of both the hardware and the software to be fully optimized for each other. Hard to compete with that. Too bad I dislike pretty much everything about Macs other than the battery life. 🫤️

Never too late!

Almost every single episode is worth watching IMO. There’s a little something in every episode. ⭐

Computers aren’t real.

Not a show we get in my country but I bet it’s good. 🙂

Tell me more about this ARM’s (master) race.

Strange. What can even cause that? My very new desktop PC and very old work laptop both running Arch wake from suspend just fine. 🤔

Chuckles on any hardware on Linux.

It’s the only kids show I’ll watch without the kids.

Are we twins? Came to say basically exactly this. ❤️

Reddit links though?

Heck, I’d be pulling more than that if I were a self-employed consultant rather than under a consulting firm, in our small city in northern Scandinavia.

Now I’m raking in a little below that, and I’m taking out like a third of it as actual salary and saving the rest, to avoid high taxes, and to to pay for a leased car, pension saving, extra insurance etc, before taxes. But after all that I’m probably saving $3k every month tax free, and maybe $1,5k in my bank account.

Engineering life is pretty okay. Still can’t afford a house yet though. Thanks boomers.

With 16 GB on my old work laptop, I am running Helix editor with a couple of LSPs, no AI whatsoever, and like a few tabs open with documentation and our somewhat memory unoptimized page. I sometimes have to close the tab so as not to crash the system. Memory is really abused these days.

Slack, VS Code, Firefox, Steam, Rocket League, combined with no swap file, and Linux just handing out memory allocations like they’re bank loans meant to be paid back eventually and with interest, you get a system that just halts when the memory is finished.

I’m not saying the game needs 32 GB, am I.

I’m saying I had to close all those other memory hoggers in order to keep playing. With 64 GB, I don’t.
