+1 to JetBrains.
I started using them like 8 years ago and have never looked back. My dad introduced them to me when I was doing some homework on a family trip and my laptop was dead. After that, I used them for every class in college, then used them at a job where they didn’t provide an IDE but I had the subscription.
Even when I’m not developing at home consistently, it’s just so much better to have it than not.
The PWA app works decent, but, unless I did something wrong, it would open links in itself instead of my main Firefox window which wasn’t what I’d want normally.
I still use it, but it’s definitely not as nice as I’d want it to be.
Definitely one of those things that’s minor and I can look past though.

Hey, some of us are trying to do a huge server migration before we switch so that we can make sure all of our stuff is backed up properly.
I can’t wait to go back, especially since proton is so much better.
Hopefully my Nvidia card doesn’t suck too bad.
Sure, and there’s also an extension to install a web page as an app similar to Chrome. The point is that, out of the box, it lacks some features that I enjoy. Extensions are great and I use plenty of them, but that doesn’t mean that Firefox has those features, it just has extensions that have them.
Firefox is great, don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely preferring it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have all the features that I wanted up front.
I wasn’t a fan of Firefox either and personally lived using edge. When the whole web integrity thing started happening, I felt like I should switch to Firefox and haven’t looked back.
I still have some complaints, like you can’t install sites native app which I used a lot. I don’t think tab groups have been implemented yet, which isn’t a huge deal but very useful. And there were a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head. In the end I value my privacy a bit more so I’ve decided Firefox is worth it.
Plus mobile ad blocking is a god send.
And that’s absolutely a fair point. That’s why I mentioned wrongful convictions in my comment originally. I know there was a story about a guy in Oklahoma who has been on death row for something like 20 years but then evidence came out that he was innocent. I’m not even sure they released him from prison but they finally removed his death sentence.
Horrible situation, and that’s where I think we need reform in general because clearly our justice system has failed us in many ways.
My only counter is for situations like Timothy McVeigh, the home grown terrorist who bombed the Murrah building in OKC and killed 168 people and injured over 600, many of them being children due to parking his truck close to the daycare. It’s reactionary, sure, but a man like that committed an atrocity that was proven, he admitted to it, said he was justified in it, and ultimately was put to death for it. To me, that is justice for his crimes, but it’s also a very extreme example since most people aren’t home grown terrorists.
Again, I’m not saying I’m an expert or that I’m even right, hence why I even commented in the first place because I want other views. I do think that the death penalty should be used extremely rarely if it’s used at all, but I do still feel that there are some crimes in which the penalty is death. How do we ensure that we get it right though? That’s where you have a point and maybe we can’t so we shouldn’t.
This is super interesting. Thanks for that! I knew that there were more legal costs but I wasn’t aware that the overall costs were significantly higher. Obviously they want to make sure that someone on death row is guilty which takes more time, evidence, etc, so this does make sense.
I’ll have to continue reading but from a brief overview, this is very interesting. Thanks!
The reason I disagree with this is that if we truly decide to “lock someone away for life”, it will ultimately cost us, the taxpayers, tons of money as someone is kept fed, educated, healthy, etc. I’m not against any of those things for the average Americans, but if someone is just going to spend the rest of their life in prison, they’re going to spend the rest of their life costing money.
That said, does it make the death penalty the answer? I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer, I’m not a legal expert, I’m not an expert in anything. What I do know is that there are crimes that most people would probably say they’re okay with the death penalty, and crimes that people say they’re definitely not okay with it. I generally lean more towards the death penalty in some cases, but I also know that they fight and appeal for years and cost even more money. I also know that many innocent people have been put on death row, and that’s not okay. I think Texas uses it a bit liberally and that’s not okay.
Again, I’m not an expert, but “locking him up for life” is just gonna cost more than he may be worth.
It’s just not super black and white, in my opinion. But I’d love to be corrected and hear opposing views.
In Pathfinder 1e, it mentions that high charisma can mean an attractive person. We know this can be true because my bard had a 36 cha (PF1e is broken lmao) and we all know it wasn’t his personality.
Big iron on his hiiiiiip
Interesting. I might have to get Jellyfin set up and run them simultaneously for a bit. Like I said my favorite Plex thing is Plexamp because it’s so clean and simple and I’d rather use a dedicated app for music instead of the main app.
I do like that it’s FOSS though, so that’s pretty great.
Is jellyfin that much better? I’ve seen people throw it around a lot and I’ve yet to try it. The big thing I like about Plex is Plexamp as a music app and it seems like Jellyfin lacks that for the time being.
I’m starting to switch over to Proton. I haven’t paid for it yet but my plan is to start paying and potentially grab usernames on other sites so I can have a consistent email across any site I decide to use.
I haven’t seen the last like 4 Marvel movies because they no longer interest me. I have been enjoying most of the shows, but it’s a bit less of a commitment to say “oh I’ll watch one of these episodes every now and then” instead of going to a theater and spending 3-4 hours there.
So yeah, I think most people are getting burned out. The latest movies haven’t been very good from what I’ve heard, the stories aren’t as fun, the new characters aren’t carrying as well as the old guard. Basically the same issue with Star Wars where the movies suck but the shows have been either really good or really bad.
Not my favorite. He’s got a couple solid songs but the rest isn’t my jam. My style is more Death in the death metal genre, or Metallica in thrash.
I love death and thrash metal a lot. I can occasionally write some really solid riffs that I feel are representative of what I like normally.
However…
My best work is the simple acoustic stuff I write when I’m bored and don’t feel like plugging an amp in. I don’t even like the kind of music it ends up falling into normally, but I guess I can write it.
The last time I pirated a game was for Freelancer. Couldn’t buy it anywhere except a CD and there was no guarantee it would work so I pirated it, it wasn’t what I expected, so I removed it.
I also downloaded a Halo CE crack for PC but I owned the physical disk and just used it to play with friends at a LAN party.
Otherwise there’s no reason to pirate anything gaming related, short of protest or something.
TV, movies and music are so hard to find. Lots of people will tell me “no just use Spotify”. No. Go try to listen to Turn the Page by Bob Seger, and not a live version. The only versions Spotify has are the live and the Metallica versions. Try to find Whitesnake’s Deep Purple cover album. I used to never pirate music because I could buy the few albums they didn’t have and upload them to Google music. Now, there’s no option for that. I’d rather have a smaller library with the music I want than a massive one that’s missing my favorites,
I think a drive like that is pretty much perfect. If their current usage is low enough that it’s still well above a consumer drive, then it would probably work.
Guess I can grab a couple of those and slot them in so I can start my server migration.
The first page of my resume covers my technical skills, a summary of myself, and my most recent jobs.
When you go past that, it gets to older jobs that are still relevant, then into school, then to side projects, volunteer, etc. basically, if you liked the first page, the rest of it gives them more about who I am.
I think at this point it’s either 3 or 4 pages and every time I’ve gotten a job it’s been one where they asked me about the hobbies on the bottom of the last page, which meant they liked what they saw and liked my interview well enough.
When I update it for my next search, I’ll take my first internship off because it’s no longer relevant, but most everything else is.
