Always used Linux or OSX for dev work, but with fallback Windows box at home for PC gaming. No longer: Steam & Proton on Linux are amazing, every game I have tried so far (including Jedi: Survivor and Cyberpunk 2077) runs well. Valve might well be the greatest thing to happen to Linux this decade. โค

"Your health records will be on the block chain."
"Everyone will live in the Metaverse."
"All art will be NFTs."
"Generative AI will replace the need for humans."

- Not part of the bigtech/cloud operators

Pingdom was my go-to for a long time but they seem to be sinking into the private equity graveyard. ๐Ÿ˜ข

YouTube video by Angela Collier billionaires want you to know they could have done physics

Come for the funny realization that publicity-seeking billionaires all want you to think they could've done physics โ€“ stay for the vicious take-down of Ayn Rand. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Angela is great.
