Julia Evans has a bunch of these really handy cheatsheets. I have several saved that I reference semi-regularly.

100k/12≈8k, including taxes, after taxes idk depends where you live. My rent is the majority of my income, and I make much less than that, so the absolute amount of money I have after paying for things like rent and utilities, to spend on food, is much less too, even if we assume the same % of income going to rent. Again I’m not saying things aren’t more expensive in the US, but it is still a lot of money. You aren’t going to be struggling financially. My friends in the US make much less than that. Maybe you’d be less well-off than peers who do the same job, but I hope you realise that for a lot of people elsewhere in the world, that’d be 3 salaries already.

Yeah I was gonna say. I didn’t understand what people were complaining about, that’s loads of money to me. I know stuff’s more expensive in the US but it’s not that much more expensive that 100k isn’t an insane amount of money to live off.

Yes, I’m not an IT professional and don’t have education in anything related to computers. Has always been a hobby for me. I don’t want to do my hobbies for work because I fear it would take the fun out.

If they’re saying beginning of 2027 I’d wait, unless you need a phone sooner.

Ah ok, you mean a margherita pizza? I just didn’t know what the term referred to. I’ve not heard it called that before.

What is cheese pizza? As opposed to… pizza with no cheese? Don’t pizzas usually have cheese?

I use Zathura. Not really meant to be an epub reader (ie missing ways to change the font)—afaik it just converts it to a pdf then displays the epub using the pdf engine. But it works fine for my purposes and means I can use my preferred pdf reader for epubs too.

Oh nice, I didn’t know about the toggle.

I’m happy with Gram; it’s more aligned with what I want from an editor and from a foss tool, and it is actively maintained. But I understand if others prefer to use Zed because of the larger user base/dev team.

“Integration” was probably the wrong word to use. My understanding (I’ve never used their AI so might be wrong) is that you authenticate to Zed’s AI service with your GitHub account. I don’t believe it actually allows you to interface with GitHub from Zed. I disabled the AI toggle when I used Zed and I still had the prompt to sign in to GitHub.

Seconding the Gram recommendation (it is actively maintained and configs are nearly entirely interoperable between Zed & Gram, so if Gram gets abandoned it’d be easy to switch to Zed), though I will also point out that Zed has a single toggle for all AI features. You can just disable that and no AI. It stays disabled too, unlike with JetBrains which I found would periodically re-enable AI features I’d disabled…

I used to be a JetBrains user for a long time. I now use Gram, a really nice fork of Zed that strips out features that some users may find unsavoury (AI integration, GitHub integration). I don’t deeply care about an editor including these features, but I don’t use them, so they’re unnecessary bloat to me. Gram lets you set a base keymap to be most similar to another editor/IDE you might be used to, and this includes a JetBrains keymap, which is what I use.

If you want the whole AI integration stuff, just use upstream Zed. It’s more or less otherwise the same from an end user perspective.

You might dislike it for being too VSCode-y insofar as it’s closer to a lightweight editor than to a full IDE like JetBrains products. I would like it if it were more fully featured and felt more like a full IDE, but it works for my purposes, and it is way more responsive thanks to running natively rather than being a JVM program. It’s not a RAM hog like JetBrains IDEs either.

Ah ok, sorry I read that as correcting me and got confused. But yes, you are right, it is a fingerprint, the point is to just share as much of your fingerprint as possible with other users to make it hard to differentiate you.

My comment was about how the OP website has a line that claims that the reported timezone/language is the “truth” rather than my IP address, and I was just pointing out that that wasn’t the case.

I know that…? I’m not sure how this relates to the comment you replied to.

A small point but it assumes that your browser’s self-declared timezone is “true” to where you live. My timezone is spoofed to UTC+0; my VPN server is in a different country; and my browser language is set to en-us. I feel like if you see a user whose settings are all of the above then you can assume that none of those three data points actually describe the user, unless they coincidentally are a US English speaker or live in UTC+0, but that’d just be them coincidentally living where anti-fingerprinting browsers report you as.

I don’t really hoard them. I keep a collection of ISOs on a 16 GB Ventoy drive, but that’s not a lot.

Copying from a reply to another comment:

I picked OpenBSD over other non-Linuxes because of its focus on security. Also I think the pufferfish is cute. It wasn’t that deep of a decision for that particular laptop. I do find it quite an enjoyable OS to use, and I have anecdotally had fewer problems with it than with Linuxes, I suspect because their whole security focus also means fewer bugs.

If you’re interested in it, just try it out in a VM.

I didn’t—I like to pick up old second-hand laptops that are selling for cheap and tinker with them (install different OSes, coreboot them, etc). One of the machines I regularly use is OpenBSD, but it’s not my sole OS. My gaming machine is Linux—afaik you’re gonna have a tough time trying to play AAA games on any other (FOSS) OS, but I’ve not tried, because the laptop I run OpenBSD on is an old underpowered Thinkpad anyway.

That stew does sound rather plain. I’d add stuff like leeks and also just more vegetables of your choosing. A mirepoix, spinach, kale, peas, whatever vegetables you like. I’d also add some stock cubes. I don’t think ground meat makes very good stock, so it would benefit from stock cubes/powder. It’s just cheaper to bulk things out with vegetables and carbs.

As for making you feel full for longer, generally fat makes you feel full for longer, so you could try getting ground meat with higher % fat (sticking to your ingredients) or just adding maybe some olive oil or butter to the stew. It is extra calories which I guess might make you gain weight, but calories are energy and excess energy becomes fat (stored energy), so your two stated goals of not gaining weight and having enough energy are at odds—not irreconcilable, but it’d be a balancing act.

As an OpenBSD user I find it funny how they list OpenBSD as 0%. Like, they could’ve just omitted it.
