“Code is not an infinitely reproducible machine that requires no labor inputs to operate. Rather, it is a brittle machine that requires increasingly heroic measures to keep it in good working order, and which eventually does "wear out" (in the sense of needing a top-to-bottom refactoring).”

@pluralisticCory Doctorow, pluralistic.net/2026/01/06/100

The myth that "old code doesn't rust" persists because it justifies moving fast, breaking things, and leaving it for someone else to clean up the mess.

:resonyance:
「『MisskeyというSNSがある』とchatGPTが把握してる」という意味で
「Misskey(Fediverse)内の投稿を把握してる」という意味ではないです…!震えなくても大丈夫…(だと思う)

HOW TO MOVE FROM WINDOWS TO LINUX:

0. Extract your Windows license key with Produkey nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_k You may need it later.

1. Pick a distro. Doesn't really matter, but see comments for 1000 suggestions and misleadingly excess complications and twiddles that nobody asked for. (Linux evangelists are the greatest drag on Linux adoption.)

Ubuntu and Mint are common starters. I use Xubuntu. Again, really doesn't matter.

The one thing I *do* suggest is: you pick one with a live USB. That way you can start the computer in your chosen distro and check all your hardware works before committing. Vital if you have any weird stuff. But almost all hardware just works these days. (Also, you can try various desktops to see what you like the look of.)

Nvidia is very unhelpful to Linux, so don't be surprised at issues. AMD is actively helpful and supportive, so if you have an AMD laptop or an AMD video card you should be very happy.

2. Install your distro that works.

3. Many programs will have Linux versions. If so, sweet! If not, a lot of the substitutes are excellent (e.g. LibreOffice).

4. Most Windows software works under Wine. If you use Steam, just install that for Windows games from Steam (it has its own separate version of Wine included).

5. Windows stuff that refuses to work under Linux? Set up VirtualBox and install Windows 10/11 using the product key you extracted in step 0. That way you can use That One Fucking App without having to use Windows the rest of the time.

6. The apps you need for real work are firmly Windows-only? YMMV of course, but I would set up a bad screen (Windows) for that work stuff and a good screen (Linux) for the rest of stuff. Separate work and play laptops are good mental hygiene in any case.

本のサイズで読む事を前提として描いてるからか、スマホとかで見ると小さすぎて見づらい漫画だな…こういうのどうするのがいいんだろうなー、まあ細かく見たいって人はPCとかタブレットから見てくれるかなあ

そういえばフェディバードに画像あげると結構な圧縮がかかって、ぼやっとする分余計見にくくなっちゃうんだけど、これって使ってるアプリによって違うとかはないよねえ…?普段はtootle使ってるんだけど(評判は良くないアプリだけどめちゃくちゃ簡素で見やすいんだよね…スタンプ使えないし見えないのが難点なのでスタンプだけブラウザ版、ほかはtootleでやってる)
