It's not so much committing early, but pushing early. You don't want to push early, then rebase your commits, and then force-push to a repository other developers are using too.

But as I've learned from all of the responses in this thread, there are many ways of avoiding this 🙂

I use mpv on macOS and haven't had any trouble to speak of. But you might have installed VLC from the App Store, which is a common mistake—unless you're installing Apple's own software, you probably shouldn't use the App Store. It usually only carries inferior versions of the software to comply with Apple's terms, haha.

I very rarely use Microsoft Office nowadays, but once it's installed, it's (mostly) fine? I've heard from a coworker that there are some significant missing features in some software in that suite. I just remember struggling to find the page to download the Setup.exe file. I went to the exact same page in Microsoft Edge and a download button that wasn't there in any other browser suddenly appeared! Maddening! This was a 5 or 10-license verison, I think.

Judging by the big © Microsoft 2022 logo in the bottom right, I'd say you're right.

I guess this is one of those things I'm not going to appreciate until I need it, but none of that sounds more appealing to me over Docker Compose. I'm not sure how debuggers, etc,. would even apply to the server or why you would need to use a cloud server rather than running the services locally for a development environment. My guess is this would be a lot more useful for Windows users who don't have as easy access to the right dependencies?

Huh, fair enough. I guess I'm still not using git to its full potential. What I do now is SSH into my desktop from my laptop and work on it there. It's easy because I use Neovim.

This is quite interesting. Is the devcontainer spec tightly coupled to VS Code, or is it something that other IDEs do/can support?

Well, to be honest, I have a Docker Compose setup I use with Neovim anyway so I don't know what the benefits are of devcontainer compared to that.

Another good point. I forgot Adobe is targeting the mobile market as well. However, I doubt Adobe wants to ship a webapp as an official product for mobile devices. Steve Jobs might have wanted to only support webapps on iOS in the beginning, but we're at a point where most users won't accept anything but an app as a first-class experience. It could make sense as a beta product though.

And it's not necessarily that Safari is the only browser available on iOS/iPadOS, but that Webkit is the only browser engine supported, so Google Chrome/Firefox/Brave and others are using Webkit while changing the appearance and some features of the browser. Minor nitpick.

Personally, I'm all for Adobe going to the web with their products. It means I don't need to keep a Windows or macOS computer around to get some of my work done. I do wish Photoshop Web wasn't a completely buggy mess which is impossible to do any real work with. I don't mind if they don't support Firefox, although I would prefer they did.

Thank you for sharing this! It was just the thing I needed to get a project setup. Toolbox couldn't pull the version of Fedora I needed to use for whatever reason, but Distrobox works great and has a much wider selection of distributions.

I don't see any need for them! I like the defaults. I only change the keyboard shortcuts, and I usually don't even autostart anything. I tend to still install GNOME Tweaks so I can turn on Focus on Hover, move the Close button to the left side of the window, but I don't need an extension for any of that. I don't know what I would even use an extension for!

I use GNOME without any extensions, so there's no benefit for me 🙃

I mean, technically I use AppIndicators, but I tend to just turn off system trays for all software I can. Steam is probably the only exception.

I'll keep that in mind. The main thing is changing keyboard shortcuts—I like most of the defaults in GNOME. In theory, this should actually be easier to port over to new computers than Sway, because I only need to import one configuration dump.

I mean, I probably could have written a Makefile or something for my dotfiles repository but I'm lazy...

I added a new section for a basic Bottles setup: https://wiki.comfysnug.space/doku.php?id=visualnovel:winedistros#using_bottles_as_a_wine_manager

There's still a lot I don't know, but there's definitely some cool stuff in Bottles and I'm glad I can finally use it, haha. Thanks for your help!
