Today I'm decommissioning my work laptop, and moving to a new machine. The 3-year leasing period is over.
The old one is an M1 Macbook Pro. While on previous occasions I really looked forward to the performance boost of a new laptop, with this one, I would have just kept using it for another 1-2 years.
The replacement is an M4 Macbook Air. According to colleagues, it's marginally nicer. But not "OMG shut up and take my money" nicer.

@stefano Cool! I hope you get the BSD on the new laptop nicely tuned up eventually.
At work, I have to use all the Microsoft 365 stuff, so that gets layered on top of the machine's MacOS. It sure doesn't make things run any faster. And then there's all the usual corporate device management + endpoint security crap.
Still, the M1 is powering through all this cruft quite admirably. Unlike the Windows machines that my colleagues use...

@signorina37 il guaio più grande è che non è confinato a X e Musk.
E' sistemico.

Went out for the first bike ride of the season yesterday. Haven't put on my helmet since the fall. Here's how much weight I lost in my face alone: you can see by the strap

There is a lot happening on the project right now, especially in the lead up to 4.6. We're also now part of the Social Web Working Group at the W3C. As usual, many moving parts to coordinate. I'm always excited to see the team's progress as we pull together our monthly update for the community.

#Console command of the day: factor
Type in "factor <number>" and you get all the #prime factors of the number.
This command is part of the #GNU #coreutils so if you’re on a GNU/#Linux system, you should already have it.

It takes a little bit more effort to make sure I get at least 2 women as facilitators each month. Inclusion takes work, and the work has always paid off, month after month and year after year.
Intentional effort goes a long way into building that community you want to surround yourself with. Especially in the tech community.

Che cosa sono adesso? Pensava, contemplandosi allo specchio. E lo specchio replicava con la brutale sincerità degli specchi: “Non sei nulla”.

Iran, lo scivolone di Trump
Quando si chiede la resa incondizionata di un paese e quella resa non arriva, la retorica della vittoria rischia di apparire ridicola.

Rumors of Tony Hoare's death may have been greatly exaggerated? Perhaps those processes continue to communicate (sequentially)
I don't really know but don't take my thread as an indicator
