I'll go to Linux as soon as I quit using applications and do nothing but fiddle around with the OS itself.
For now, I am using a number of applications. They are the ones holding me back.

A former Amazon engineer who scammed more than $12 million from two decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges in 2022 was sentenced to three years in prison in a case that the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) called the first conviction for hacking a “smart contract.” He's smarter than the average smart contract (but not smart enough, apparently)

Craptobros are dead set against any kind of regulation and authority in their spaces so they can scam each other with impunity. I think this man shouldn't have been jailed since he used the system exactly as designed.
Any peon who willingly drops money into a Ponzi scheme (and all craptocoins are Ponzi schemes) deserves to have those money ripped away.

The internet is carried around the world by hundreds of thousands of miles of slender cables that sit at the bottom of the ocean. It's not all WiFi?
Highly pretentious intro and layout of the article, but a nice look at something that I know I never think of much.

Very interesting indeed! Thanks for the read!
Quote: “The main issue for me in the industry has to do with hyperscalers coming in and saying we need to reduce costs every year,” said Wilkie, the chair of the ACMA, using the industry term for tech giants like Google and Meta. “We’d all like to have maintenance cheaper, but the cost of running a ship doesn’t actually change much from year to year. It goes up, actually. So there has been a severe lack of investment in new ships.”
They should use the term 'hyperidiots' instead of 'hyperscalers.'

When building apps that connect to APIs, we typically focus on getting the app to work. But what happens when the API is slow, returns errors, or becomes unavailable? When in doubt, add another layer of indirection

Or at least few; because I know I'll be corrected by some of you.

As any Visual Studio Code user knows, the editor's command palette is a powerful tool for getting things done quickly, without having to navigate through menus and dialogs. Who needs THOSE MENUs anyway?
OK, they haven't had THOSE MENUs for years (and they were only around for a short while anyway). But their memory lives on.

|
|
|
|
Technically, they still have THOSE MENUS; it's just that the "Apply title case styling to menu bar" option seems to be ticked by default now.
