This sounds great. But I guarantee you that OpenAI is secretly running a network of sham PACs, funneling dark money to campaigns, and lobbying to make sure that this never actually happens.

I mostly run application fullscreen and switch between them. The only exception is when I'm comparing the content of two windows (in which case I tile horizontally or vertically) and file selection (floating).

When an application uses the entire screen without the window decorations needed in a regular window manager, a screen's limited real estate is in fact better used in a tiled window manager.

Tiled windows don't solve a problem. They're just a different workflow. I've used both for decades and neither is inherently faster or better. It's just what you prefer.

At any rate, don't knock it till you try it.

on all my machines. Once you get past the tiled window manager paradigm - if you've never used one before - you realize how fast and seamless it is, and it truly is the least common denominator in terms of memory usage.

I left Mint (which is really a Ubuntu derivative) years ago, and now i3 / Sway let I have the same unified desktop on all my machines, fast or slow, new or old, and they all feel perfectly usable.

I highly recommend spending the time to create a i3 or Sway config file. It's well worth the effort and it's a one-off.

And if you just want to try i3 or Sway on your existing distro, install it and simply change the Window manager for your user in the display manager: it lives totally independently of whatever your currently use, so it's risk-free.

Because Oracle makes money hand over fist and pays well. Sure everyone will be fucked if OpenAI tanks, but in that case most of the tech sector will be tanking, too, and jobs wonâ(TM)t be safe at any employer. Might as well collect a fat salary at Oracle before the shit show starts.

Vladimir Putin is making the Chinese Communist Party look like good guys. That's kind of amazing.

for the illegal tariffs to be struck down.

Because sometimes the client paying for the work wants it to be on GitHub.

If Microsoft is going to put ads in GitHub the people who upload the code should get a cut of the money. The more bugs you fix, the richer you get!

It turns out that acquihiring a twenty person company just to get a couple developers and two UX people is a bad idea. Who knew?

Kids already stopped vaping. They switched to Zyn. But that probably won't stop this company from sucking in some gullible investors who still think that blockchain is the future.

But I keep all my vaping equipment - mod, drippers and all manners of accessories - from the early teens when vaping was free, unregulated and not yet killed by Big Pharma. Hell, I still have 3 gallons of 100mg nic base in blue bottles with nitrogen in storage in the freezer from that time.

I was a big vaping enthusiast for years. It's what kept me from smoking again. I've quit smoking and vaping for years, but just in case I decide to pick up vaping again - like if I'm diagnosed with cancer again, and it's terminal this time - I keep all that good stuff from a better past.

I stopped working on my own F/OSS projects because I was making no money and the work was being distributed by companies with market caps in the billions and trillions of dollars. Why should I waste my time and money working for free to help some asshole tech bros get rich?

Mozilla has realized that AI is going to kill search and when search dies Google won't keep giving Mozilla the money it needs to stay above water. So now Mozilla is scrambling to find an AI business model that users don't hate. Goodbye Mozilla, it's been a fun couple of decades.

Investment bankers in New York are absolutely aware of how much time they spend working. They know that they slept on a cot the last two nights, have eaten delivery for their last twenty meals, and cannot remember what their friends look like. Which is why most of them quit and leave New York in two years or less. I can only imagine that the software timer is there to push the weak ones to quit sooner and not get a bonus.
