Using #openbsd today means making some of the same sacrifices / accepting some of the same constraints, as being a #Linux user 20 years back. I’m generally ok with that, for my personal laptop. Work requires me to use a Mac , which I find ok, but generally a bit crippled and dumb compared to a Linux machine. If anyone ever tells you that Macs just work, give them a lollipop. Today I am still pretty convinced that Linux would be the best user environment for most software development.

The ol' tealeg (tealeg@mastodon.online)'s status on Friday, 11-Oct-2024 22:52:07 JST The ol' tealeg @shriramk I appreciate that mode of thought. Once, many years ago (the 90s), I wrote a little pre-processor so I didn't have to type "color" and "center" in HTML files when they clearly should be "colour" and "centre".

I wonder if the etymology,
of this blessed terminology,
is based in purest entomology?
Or is it rather sorts psychology,
that shaped cricket for you and me?https://github.com/RyanBrewer317/cricket_rs

Yes, #lisp is a ton of fun to program in. Once you've done it, you'll never quite be able to give up on it. -

The ol' tealeg (tealeg@mastodon.online)'s status on Sunday, 05-Nov-2023 17:48:08 JST The ol' tealeg @alfredo I think we’ve been in a constant state of flux between the convenience of the packaged experience and the control and learning opportunity of something a bit more hands on. Linux , minix and BSD offered us a way out of the proprietary OS trap, but smartphones, tablets and the cloud have robbed beginners of the easy path to understanding. Of course you can run K8s at home, but it’s not natural or obvious to do so.
