  • I recently brought over some ideas from VanillaOS over to my Arch install.

    1. Install as much as possible via flatpak
    2. Install a bunch of other stuff in distrobox (with podman backend)

    That gives me like 50% (idk fake number) of the features from VanillaOS, but I get to keep control over my system.

    Not that I ever had any problems with native pacman installs though… so… not sure how much benefit I’m really getting from doing this. I guess my pacman -Syu command runs faster now. That’s something…

    I’ve had two car break-ins.

    The first time, I couldn’t even reach a human. The machine on the phone line told me to file a police report online. It was like, name, date, what happened, upload picture, send. Never heard anything back.

    The second time, I went to the police station and—was told to file a police report online… same as last time. Nothing happened.





  • At one point in my career I cared about what I did and who I worked for I felt pride over my product and my team, and all I feel now is shame to be associated with my company, I feel disgusted with myself that I work not for my customers but for shareholder value.

    This tracks with my experience here as well.

    keep my job and not get layed off.

    For me, it seems like falling in line and kissing the ring is more important than showing ability, if you want to avoid being laid off. At a previous job, I got laid off before my very noob coworker who took months to complete PRs because I wouldn’t shut my mouth about RTO.

    a meritocracy

    Browsers I tried yesterday (on Linux):

    • Zen: neat, but the UI is too different for my taste
    • Floorp: also neat, but features I don’t use
    • Waterfox: sweet spot for me

    Librewolf and Waterfox seem pretty similar on paper. I went with Waterfox cuz idk. So far, Waterfox seems to be a drop-in replacement. I haven’t noticed any problems with websites and haven’t run into any bugs.

    One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.

    Bonus: Waterfox is available on Android! 🥳
