Mastodon FeedThe Matrix was supposed to be green-ish, but it's been made when the film industry was switching from analog to digital, so all the (re)released versions look different.
Noodle made a charming documentary about losing sanity trying to find the "correct" green:

The problem with Linux is it doesn't come preinstalled out of most stores, and even when it is, the lack of uninstallable bloat gives the system an alien feeling when Windows users try it.
Where's my McAfee frew trial? Where's the pointless stock ticker and ads on the lock screen?!
The whole Linux experience is new and just plain scary!!

Mastodon FeedI've been eagerly updating #macOS since 10.4 Tiger (which required buying a physical box of DVDs!) running betas whenever possible. Until Tahoe. I haven't touched it.
Apple has lost taste.
Not just the OS. It's Tim giving a golden turd bribe. Tasteless.
I've been unhappy about being in a walled garden, but now they can't even keep a nice garden.

Mastodon Feed"What color is your function?" is a wonderful title. It's so good, the title alone could win the Sundance Festival.
But that post is about a JavaScript-specific limitation (not applicable to other languages), and some wishful bikeshedding about syntax (which turns out to be a leaky abstraction that makes locking ambiguous, very problematic in low-level languages).
But *color* is so catchy. It's not well defined that post, but you can't have "color" in your async, whatever that is. Just can't.

Vince Gilligan is truly a master of his craft. No one manages to weave the ordinary into their work as effectively as he does. The footsteps of a determined walker. The creak of a car door. A bag of chips getting stuck in a vending machine. Gilligan makes everything so much more real and relatable with these morsels of the mundane, and I love it.
Also Pluribus is incredible and you should totally give it a try.
