  • Not really.

    The high volume of unoriginal Linux content is getting old, and that’s coming from somebody who uses Linux.

    Behind that, there’s very little in the way of niche communities/interests. But I suppose that’s just because the total number of users isn’t high enough for people with specific interests to reach some critical mass .

    So for me, Lemmy hasn’t been anything more than a news aggregator interspersed with the occasional funny meme.



  • New laptop for myself. I’ve spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.

    Dell XPS 13 Plus, got it fully loaded but with the least amount of storage available. Immediately upgraded the NVMe to 2T and installed Linux.

    Despite making a descent income, I’m weirdly averse to spending on myself. In any case, totally worth it, it’s been a month and I use the machine every day.









  • Systems Engineer/.Net Developer here. Currently have a super flexible hybrid setup. I work from the office 2-3 days a week. My commute is about 15 minutes when I decide to go to the office.

    I like seeing my coworkers, using the awesome conference rooms, free snacks and coffee. Change of scene keeps me focused and motivated.

    My main motivation for working where I do is that nobody gives a shit what I’m doing or where I’m working from day to day. We’re all professionals working to deliver our projects on time. How we deliver is up to us.

    If my boss told me I had to start coming to the office every day at some set time, I’d immediately start searching for a new job.
