Life's an array of arrays. 101010 exactly.
Philosophy & Programming. I love coding, comic-books (and no-comic books), films and (dark and loud mostly) music. I suck at all of this. <3

array, to random

It's curious how, after I began programming, I stopped tweaking and, generally speaking, caring too much about my DE/WM configuration. I used to play with themes, icon sets, configs and stuff as much as I could. Now I just play with the code I write and/or work with, and use a pretty barebones Sway config and/or vanilla Gnome at home, and Windows at work (not my choice, though). "Does the job and stays out of your way" is more than enough for me now. :)

A little rant about why I stopped distro hopping :linux:

@jhx You are always a voice of reason and well manners, see, it mustn't be that difficult to be coherent, respectful and polite... Any community would actually be perfect if this were the rule, no exception. :)

@jhx Yup. I say to myself I don't actually mind the elitists and -generally speaking- trolls, but then I have often seen myself justifying, for example, why I use Ubuntu, or why I like Java or PHP, which are usually targets for some "superior" minds. This is why I posted this: https://fosstodon.org/@array/112360125565817471 ;)

@jhx Same. I've lost count of how many times I've been recommended to switch to the Jetbrains IDEs whenever I mentioned I use Eclipse (at home, and now at $dayJob, just as the whole dev team). I love Eclipse, same as I'm pretty convinced of the quality, even maybe superiority, of the Jetbrains (proprietary) IDEs. But I don't have any interest in pushing my choices on anyone's throat. I share my own choices out of pure joy, but each person find joy in different things and that's OK. :)

@jhx I still remember the unending load times with those C64 cassettes... But I would totally understand, and retrocomputing is actually a thing, which sure sparks joy on their enthusiasts, so nothing wrong with that, on the contrary! :)

I've been digging in the rabbit hole for a couple of days, and I've already found some already familiar -and quite annoying- bits similar to the ones you can find in tech (programming, sysadmining, hardware and software choices...) For example, variations on the unsolicited advice "You shouldn't [buy/use] $stuff, that's garbage, use $betterStuff instead". Human nature is what it is and it just switches context I guess. :P

@fedops Amen. XD I'll take my first weekend with the ride in a solitary place where I can familiarize myself with it, and as you said, practice braking, cornering and stuff. And I don't have any necessity of going fast, but of going safe. It's not just me I'm responsible for, and I just want to move from A to B, "B" not being either a hospital nor a morgue. :P

That said, I remember riding a bike as fun. So I'll try to have my bit of fun, too. Just playing it safe. :)
