Is anyone using Folding At Home?

This shit is fucking scary. Please stay safe. https://www.propublica.org/article/a-medical-worker-describes--terrifying-lung-failure-from-covid19-even-in-his-young-patients

Just curious. Do you use a laptop or desktop as your daily driver?

I always wonder what makes us like certain songs? How can I listen to hundreds of different ones and think "Oh yeah, this is good", "Ah that's nice", but then there's that one where you go "Oh my fucking god yes yes yes" and after you analyze it you're like "Huh this is hardly different from the other ones" yet you like it like 200 percent more?

Also if people bash Brave so much, then why is it the browser that doesn't? I have to admit I didn't do thorough research here, but it does indeed appear that way. Am confused.

I'm just wondering, if Mozilla keeps talking so much about taking your privacy seriously, that you need to stay secure and private on the internet, then why do they have settings that they could use to track you enabled by default? Don't make no sense.

I originally wanted to get a Pinebook, and I still might, but I already have this thing so...why not. And it's the MBA 2017 too. The one with the good keyboard. And SD card reader!

Finally got so tired of MacOS that I gave up and installed Linux on this MacBook Air. Meow!

Does anyone know what the general base lag is for bluetooth keyboards? I can't feel any at all, but if someone knows more about the spec than I do, I'd be curious to know.

Freaking Asterisk. 😂😂

Meow!

Bye bye small OvH vps that this instance ran on before. Hope you’ll do great things in the future.

I’m still alive. Sorta.

Oh yay! I didn't notice that Toot! had been boosting the wrong toots all this time. That could have gotten very, very awkward.

I really want to hug the person that invented and made popular the idea of transparency in headphones. This is literally perfect. Outside noise mixed with the sound from the headphones. This is a really, really big deal for me and has tons of accessibility implications. I just love it!

Meanwhile we have completely self taught open source warriors pumping out code that supports your entire infrastructure without whom you just wouldn’t exist. Are they worthless? They write code the enterprise couldn’t even dream of. Ok ok I better stop before I completely explode

Maybe the whole junior senior discrimination also kind of rubs me the wrong way. Everyone wants seniors with hundreds of years of experience. What the hell are you gonna do when they pass? Hire the... oh no! Nobody has the experience you need? Oh how tragic! Get the fuck out.

I love how I see job listings for “senior rust developer/engineer”. Huh? Possibly unpopular opinion but you might as well just Ditch the whole senior thing.

I don’t think I will ever get used to seeing temperatures spike at 80-85 on my laptop when doing anything cpu intensive. Somehow that always seemed very high to me even with the crappy cooling you can fit into the form factor of a modern laptop/ultrabook. Makes me nervous.
