mastodon 4.7.3A meticulous developer who happens to do a lot infrastructure and platform engineering.
Started to use #SystemManager from #numtide and I'm SO with this. 😎
I don't run #nixos. Yes. I still prefer #ubuntu or #popos. I like the distros and usually deviate their base to be anything anyhow. 😏
But that does not mean I like missing declaration magic. System manager lets me still do all the crazy things I normally do. Plus I get some guard on my system settings. 😅
Absolutely incredible work by #DeltaChat for the latest release.
As more authoritarian society becomes, the need these tools. Privacy and true decentralization are a must, not an optionality. 🫠
So with #Ubuntu 26.04 around the corner, I been prepping to use besides #popos. Nothing wrong with #cosmic, but the new #gnome 50 release hits all my buttons. 😅
... Except tiling. I remembered there was a post years ago about better tiling in gnome called #mosaic. Cue in #MosaicWM by @CleoMenezesJr@floss.social . Absolutely outstanding work in making window management better.
I think I may found the way. 😎

Ok, this is unexpected. #Framework 13 pro with #LPCAMM2 ram! Even #Linux first marketing. 🤯
Granted, you should not buy anything with ram or CPU or disk drives until the ai bubble pops. 😅 Still exciting to see.
#GNOME 50 release is packed with changes.
May seem trivial, but the parental controls is something I was really looking forward to. Especially with younger kids. Older ones will find a way around. 😅 But the younger ones are where this really helps. Especially with putting a timer. They don't understand time without it. ⌛
We live on the weirdest of timelines.
One where #Microsoft Linux distribution is fully accessible, instead of in a small sub-space called "Azure". 😅
All these quality of life improvements in #ghostty. 😍 Congrats to the whole team for 1.3.
The native notification on command finish! I've had a #fishshell plugin for I don't know how many years for this... I'm going to need to test this magic. 😎
#canonical #notary is such an elegant solution to #TLS expiration. 😅
Handling distributed TLS expiration is not exactly a solved problem. So many incidents due to it. Even with notary just being an intermediary, worlds better than managing it all. 🫠
Like I needed any more reason to dislike #GitHub. 🫠https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-github-copilot-interaction-data-usage-policy/
I haven't been tracking, but #JavaScript #Temporal date time library is GA. 😍
It's a must have!
I can remember many failures in js world attributed to date usage. So much pain... Made me hate js almost instantly when I learned of date. 😅
Now safari is left to fix. 🫠
One of the main reasons I want to use #ubuntu 26.04 is for the #framework desktop. 😅 All that #amd #rocm package handling. 😇
I didn't need more reasons for the release. 😁
I totally get #Mozilla point. But I also remember when we had too many web engines and none followed a standard. 🫠
We do need competition. But competition that continues to work together on web standards.

I been waiting for the release of #multigres. A #postgres sharding and connection pooling solution by #supabase. This is low key amazing tech. So many places where it will fit. Predominantly on #cockroachdb market value. 😁
I gotten to learn enough on #graphql to know that implementing involves figuring out your own way to the loose spec. So having a community share for figured out specs is the right move. At least get some conformity in this space. 😅
#Devenv 2 is out and it is impressive! 😁 Great work team. Going to ride through in some personal projects to test out.
I been moving to flake parts all my things, but still. Would like these dev shell benefits. 😎

I've been slowly moving to #zswap. Though now, quite quickly thanks to this article. 😅 Especially when using #NVMe, the advantage is quite apparent. 😉

You know you doing something wrong in digital rights, when the @eff@mastodon.social leaves your platform because of how bad your platform is in digital rights. 🫠
The #canonical #craft ecosystem is interesting. Learning from #nix to produce a concise artifacts.
What makes it different is targets are based on which craft you use. Like if you want an app, then #snapcraft is likely it. But #debcraft is a new one to target debs directly. Or say #imagecraft which creates an os image.
In nix you target all the things with the same language. But I think this approach of target based tooling makes sense as well. 😅
Oh god, I'm a web dev now. 🤣
One of the promising things that has happened with ai agents is that we #CLI now. 😅 #DNSimple product is already well worth it. Now with the CLI, it just makes sense. Not everything needs the api. And these CLI tools make things easier for auth in general. 😎

Another brilliant release of #DuckDB! Pager, PEG for search and insights by default. I need no other analytical tool now. 😅
So the #thunderbird team at #Mozilla created a new ai agent tool called #thunderbolt. 😵💫 Did not see that coming. 😅
My question is more of how does it impact the new thunderbird pro effort the same team is trying to release. 🤔
#TypeScript 6 feels like #php 6.
Not in the forever development. It's out now! But more in being a placeholder, until 7 is released. And 7 is definitely the excitement. #golang base with actual logic that makes sense. 😅
