TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

Thank you for the link!

My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!

There’s also LiteIDE

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

It brings me joy that a bunch of my pixels is me trying to create a border between the flags, and someone else going “oh no, you don’t”. I had to give up, of course. Had a great time

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it’s a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers

Two things pop up

• I once left an alert() asking “what the fuck?”. That was mostly laughed upon, so no worry.
• I accidentally dropped the production database and replaced it by the staging one. That was not laughed upon.

This state-o-fart user-experience will transport you to the future of user experiences

I admit. This cracked me up.

I really enjoy Mojeek. It gives you results you would not get anywhere else. I see high value in that

Been using Qwant for maybe a year or so. Recently found Swisscows too. I am not sure if Qwant uses their own index. I remember that they said that they were to create their own index, but the results looks suspiciously similar to Bing. Swisscows for sure runs their own index, and I find the results to be rather good

We all have different levels of insecurity. I think it’s common to not want to hurt the feelings of the ones we love

I think this happens when there’s notifications from Slack in the notification center. For some reason it does not seem to sync. Clearing in the notification center is probably going to “fix” the badge counter

The Brother printer I bought recently was easier to install on Linux than on Mac. I think that says something. Always works too

I really like Taskito, and have been using it for quite a while. I think the widget looks very nice too, though I relied more on the notifications.

Recently switched to Microsoft To Do, simply because I realized it works more in the way I think. I make a plan for the day, and tick off the tasks I finish. Some tasks might not be finished (happens a bit too often, I admit), and those tasks will be suggested when I make a plan on the following day. The widget looks OK, not too exciting, but clean enough.
