    perfectly happy.

    before, my windows machine was a weird amalgamation of developer machine and gaming rig.

    I was already developing in Linux with WSL because fuck microslop’s absolutely shitty developer environment.

    now I’ve completely separated the two uses for my computer.

    I use bazzite for gaming, since I don’t really want to change anything.

    I use cachyos for development because it’s pretty easy to configure and is arch based.

    I picked both of those distros because I didn’t feel like trying so hard to get my Nvidia GPU to play nice.

    Just recently switched my Dad to bazzite so he can play games without windows eating up all of his RAM

    I’ve used a zima board and zimaOS.

    very straightforward and easy to use, very similar apple aesthetic too. I can setup a raid array with just a few clicks immediately after installing.

    you don’t need the zima board to use zimaOS if you already have some hardware laying around.

    zimaOS comes with a docker app store where you can spin up immich, or any other dockerized service, like jellyfin, next cloud, etc. I’m sure seafile is in there too

    I feel like this was more recent, but it could be that I read it recently. Theres an official response from proton regarding this incident if you want to learn more about the situation.

    One benefit of using proton is because your emails live in Switzerland and your data is subject to their laws around data privacy. From what I know, that doesn’t protect you from criminal investigation, but it does protect your data from non government agency requests and data brokers.

    The climate activist I’m referring to was squatting in high rises as protest, which is against the law in france. France used interpol to communicate with the swiss government in order to get more information about their suspect. The official response from proton covers more about this incident, and I think it’s likely they had no idea what this climate activist was doing.

    Privacy unfortunately does not mean youre free to commit crimes, or even that your personal info is safe from police inquiry. That is anonymity, not privacy.

    Although I don’t agree with protons decision to remove wording around logging IPs in their terms of service, it’s disingenuous to think that proton is somehow complicit and is “tracking down activists”. From my perspective, they were following the law, as messed up as the law is.

    I don’t agree with this at all. syntax highlighting is more useful when looking at small chunks of code. I only need to know the difference between the two words next to each other, or if I properly closed a string definition.

    I should memorize my theme colors? give me a break. the only one I need to know is which one is a string, the rest are “code”

    I wouldn’t vehemently disagree with this so much if the article didn’t make so many assumptions, and was in a more conversational tone. “Getting it wrong” sounds pompous, but if you just talked about how YOU used syntax highlighting, I wouldn’t care so much
