Thomas Svensson 🖖<p>...one that suites what I now know how my brain works - so that my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adhd</span></a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>autism</span></a> isn't triggered in bad ways, instead something that helps me better take advantage of the positives - the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/superpowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>superpowers</span></a> - those two also gives me.</p><p>I subscribe on many great open sorcerers on YouTube. One of them <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ThePrimeagen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePrimeagen</span></a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ThePrimeagen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/@ThePrimeagen</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> - So while slowly rebuilding my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nerdmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nerdmachine</span></a> from the terminal...</p>
Thomas Svensson 🖖<p>...myself and finding the right communities for me to get more involved in.</p><p>So began a slow process, because it was also a test about how my now better working brain would handle everything.</p><p>The plan was to reinstall the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nerdmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nerdmachine</span></a> with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> 24.04 LTS, to get a fresh canvas to rebuild from.</p><p>So the answers I was seeking was what tools, especially for coding, should I go with.</p><p>Since I don't like the way LLM's are invading GUI IDE's, those where ruled out as primary one.</p><p>I also wanted...</p>
Thomas Svensson 🖖<p>...pretty much off the communities as my struggles got worse and the fight to get help was so long and difficult.</p><p>So when the urge began to grow stronger a few months ago, it was accompanied with a lot of feelings and doubts about if I was ready to try to come back and be more actively involved again.</p><p>- Would the new me be able to better contribute this time, in also a more meaningful and healthy way for myself?</p><p>I decided to take small steps, and made my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nerdmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nerdmachine</span></a> the doorway between...</p>
Thomas Svensson 🖖<p>Currently my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nerdmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nerdmachine</span></a> uses Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and without having to compile from source: Snap seems to be the only choice to get latest stable <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>neovim</span></a> on it.</p><p>For <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/apt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>apt</span></a> - including other PPA's - I could find nothing newer than years old 0.9.5.</p><p>So snap it is!</p><p>Now to let the one-and-only <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TheVimeagen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheVimeagen</span></a> (AKA <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ThePrimeagen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePrimeagen</span></a>) get me properly started:</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/-ybCiHPWKNA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/-ybCiHPWKNA</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>This will be so much fun 🤪</p>
Thomas Svensson 🖖<p>Instead of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Chrome</span></a> I will use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Vivaldi</span></a> as secondary browser on my freshly reinstalled Linux <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nerdmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nerdmachine</span></a>.</p><p>It will be interesting to se how well that will go with my Google Workspace-account.</p><p>It is part of my mission to take back control over who can vacuum me on data for any #"%¤#%& reason.</p><p>And to decentralize back the internet from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigTech</span></a>'s proprietary ecosystems they so want to lock us into.</p><p>I still believe that is possible - That <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> is probably the only solid way to do it with.</p>
