Okay folks. Big confession time.

I am seriously considering moving to Win10 with a PopOS VM.

Why?

Because everything is literally faster. Boot. Wake from sleep. Acess to full HD Prime Video (the only subscription I have). Faster app startups.

Yes, somehow, even a bloated OS runs pretty fast. Maybe the hardware is tweaked for Windows - or the other way around, and we can blame the vendors all day long... but it runs fast. Simple.

I'm totally conflicted about this because I *love* FOSS.

Me: *spends days perfecting a resume. Readable, clear, concise, and complete*

Recruiters: Hmm. Let me just invite them to my company's job opening without even reading their profile and figuring out if they fit. Haha, who has 5 minutes?

Me: Oooo. New notification! *gets excited*
*checks job description and promptly closes tab*

Hmm, wanted to revoke my old #GPG keys - created 3 years ago - at least one of which exists on a #keyserver.

Cannot remember the passphrase to even one! I know I have very elaborate hints written on a piece of paper, but I also don't have the physical paper with me, because reasons.

Oh, it's just not enabled, but is available as an option in the system settings.

And unlike #GNOME, I can set the first day of the week through a UI, no need to rebuild locales or log out, then back in!

How do I get this working?

No two finger horizontal scroll out of the box on Cinnamon. What?!

Hmm... just installed Linux Mint in search for a *very* fast desktop. Will see how it fares over a few days and if it's worth the switch from GNOME based Pop OS.

I love GNOME's workflow, just not a huge fan of the speed it offers, even on very good hardware like mine.

In the end, I may still choose Pop just for the sake of stability.

This is why I am often second guessing my usage of what would be considered... obscure services in my country. They can be taken down any time.

This is easy to bypass - what happens when it's something critical that I need but there's no chance of access?

How common is this?! Would love it if this becomes a thing on #Android as well.

@vicorva Hi, I stumbled upon you via @tuturto 's toots. I wanted to check your website out, but it appears to be down. Could you please take a look?

When viewing personal websites, do you enjoy elaborate home pages or prefer succinct ones?

Yay! I have added support for mention-of #webmentions on my site! :D

It was so simple to extend it from how I handle a webmention reply. Structured data from an API + structured development = win. :)

I am not officially participating in #100DaysToOffload as I was sure from the get go I didn't want to put the pressure of putting something out every day, or every few days, on myself.

However, seeing other people publish posts and respond to mine definitely keeps me going too! 😄

So many draft #blog posts!

For July, I have decided to focus on getting 2 to 3 of these drafts ready and published.

Three months ago, I had thought I would quickly reach a point where I wouldn't have anything to write about.
