I solved "tool Y is great... but it's mac-only" by only having macs around 😬

@fasterthanlime Yeah, the whole concept of having a home lab or a windows machine at home just does not compute for me.

I don’t have time to care for and feed more machines than my MacBook(s) let alone the time to use them.

So if you were looking for a distributed message bus to get a bunch of Rust servers talking, you could do worse than NATS jetstream, right?

@fasterthanlime That or potentially Red Panda.

I often think about "computer bad" and similar defeatism — so much is fixable via training, customization + just not buying garbage (which requires money, money solves a lot of problems!).

I'll never understand folks complaining about something they have the means to fix.

@fasterthanlime Getting a Mac (i.e. non-garbage) and then touching grass are very much recommended when it comes to computing.

Open source is a lot more fun if your core computing usage does not depend on it.

Ok gang, say you're stuck on a plane for 20 hours, what YouTube video do you take with you?

@fasterthanlime A course on maths probably. Topos Institute’s seven sketches in compositionality is very nice (Slovak and Fong are so chill): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhgq-BqyZ7i5ZZd6wGv4WE9JNtAbUDNAp&si=VLsb6-x4T6Octwt7
