My current favorite music to code to is Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, music for an (I think) imaginary UK planned city in the 1970s. I'm not good at describing it, but it's like ‘70s electronica, tinged with a bit of melancholy. The latest album, Your Community Hub, is my favorite. https://warrington-runcorn-cis.bandcamp.com/music

I have a few #ubuntu systems but there too the extra helpfulness on top of what #debian provides seems to confuse me more than it helps me and I sometimes run into bugs that I just don’t come across on #debian
Lately I am very impressed with the stability and reproducable nature of #NixOS though sometimes it takes a day or two before a critical software update for some package gets updated.
Oh and of course I also use things like #rasbian and #alpine but not too often.
And then there are #xcp-ng and #proxmox and #ovirt which provide special distributions.
Do you want me to continue on what I use on tablets and mobile phones?

Remember people, being politicially incorrect is good for your health with all of the following benefits:

* No constant stress about what you say
* All of the most toxic and judgemental people will hate you enough to not be around you.
* The people who want to be around you will be fun, good, non-toxic people
* You dont have to deal with constant drama over nonsense
* You live a live of quality, not quantity.

tips for being more #positive about your work!

❌ “I can’t fix this bug no matter what I try”
✔ “I am an avant-garde software artist”

❌ “my code won’t compile”
✔ “this is an abstract piece”

❌ “I never get around to implementing any of the features I want”
✔ “I consider myself a minimalist“

❌ “sorry I forget to document my code…”
✔ “my art is about the journey, not the destination”

❌ “I have never finished a project”
✔ “I prefer to leave the ending open to interpretation”

❌ “sorry, this software is not compatible with ( )”
✔ “here I have chosen to make a political statement against ( )”

❌ “this memory leak causes the program to crash”
✔ “this program symbolizes the transience of mortality and reminds us all what is important in life”

I opened one of my cookbooks for the first time in a long time and found this old flyer for a Tech Workers Coalition event at Omni Commons in 2018. Time is weird

Linear time is a convenient illusion

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.

It’s interesting that the biggest communication challenge facing Mastodon communities is explaining that it’s basically a protocol and a network of independent, interconnected servers, which is what the Web, e-mail, even DNS and most of the fundamental services we use on the internet are, and always were.
It just illustrates just how much ‘Big Tech’ proprietary social media platforms swallowed up and walled off, if it’s now difficult to explain what the internet actually is!
