Thank you.

This is the endgame, isn’t it? Just a matter of time.

At least the number of times I have to use the Clean Java Language Workspace in VS Code has declined recently. I mean, I still have to, just not as often.

LO is fine for most uses though working back and forth with Office users can be problematic. Two things that I like about are: it offers a database module, which Office for the Mac doesn’t have, and it can open a lot of older file formats that newer apps can’t.

Hey, now. Seven bits per character were good enough for Granddad, they should be good enough for you.

What’s the way forward for Chromium-based browsers? I use Edge instead of Chrome for my work (Firefox for everything else) to keep data out of Google’s clutches since we use so many Google services. Since I use uBlock Origin on both I’m concerned Edge will follow the leader and take it away.

I’m not seeing either image as overly pixelated. I’m on Firefox/MacOS.

I was developing 30 years ago and I love what’s available today. Nostalgia is fine, as far as it goes, but things change and sometimes for the better. This is one of those cases.

I’m not a doctor but he certainly seems neurodivergent based on his writing. It’s hard to imagine him ever changing in some significant way and being “rehabilitated” enough to be allowed back into society, hence the “some evidence”. It’s might be best he remains in jail rather than be paroled.

He did mention the murder of his wife and said he would detail his regret to anyone who asked. The rest of the letter describes the “social mistakes” in dealing with co-workers and the Linux community. He even asks that those co-workers’ names be added to the credits and his negative comments about them be deleted. There’s no forgiving what he did to his wife but there’s at least some evidence he’s changed since that happened.

I looked at Joplin and Obsidian for the kind of notetaking I do and settled on Obsidian. To be honest, both have more features than I use. I like Obsidian because it’s based on Markdown, so you’re not tied to some oddball file format. But you should try them out and see which one fits your work style.

I didn’t take me more than a day to learn (I don’t understand) React.

You have no tasks, there’s nothing to manage. I’d say you’re done for the day.

I’ve been a Mac guy since 1985 but I’ve always had additional machines running other OSes (including Windows). My first Linux experience was with Yggdrasil, which my small company was trying out. We never got it to boot. After that, it was early Red Hat, which I ran for years until the hardware I was using died. After that, it was various versions of Ubuntu on machines at work. Now I’ve got a couple of Raspberry Pis running Raspian.
