Can’t imagine applying to work for an ad company in the first place.

Long train trips and subway rides are pretty ideal. Mainly since they get rid of that nagging sense of whatever other things I “could be doing” in those moments (going to the gym, practicing an instrument etc)

Ubuntu at home (with sway), and unfortunately macOS for work (with its badly-broken and nonsensical window management)

Couldn’t live without white noise apps (at least when traveling). Easy Noise is solid too

Don’t think anything can actually replace the power and expressiveness of keyboards and text interfaces- that’s always going to be the bottom layer for a productive setup (i.e., you need to actually be able to write code, write shell scripts etc to control your machine, etc).

Guess what I really want is just some kind of Unix machine that hums along 24/7 in the background, with many different paradigms for interacting with it when you don’t have (or want) a standard keyboard and display. Putting a display over my face feels like a giant leap in the wrong direction

The world is a slightly better place without him in it.

I’d vote for Windows 2000, but the point stands. All it needed (in hindsight) was virtual desktops

No question, removing swappable batteries was pretty brazenly consumer-hostile.

One of the main reasons I’m 100% on board with stuff like the Pinephone, at least in theory (just wish Linux phones were actually ready to be used as phones… maybe in another couple of years).

I think more regional / city instances would be great. Seems like a natural way to consolidate activity around local content, meetups, activism, etc etc while also staying totally connected to everything else

I’ve been voting with my wallet on this one for years- no headphone jack, no purchase
