I really wish PWAs got more adoption and more features added to safely interact with host OS...

May be poulsen treatment or immortality cruciform from Hyperion. Not sure if immortality is such a good idea though. Throughout history horrible dictatorships tend to end after the death of the despots. Imagine if these horrible people are immortal...

I wished browser standard would just adopt something close to sqlite instead of IndexedDB.

One of the iffey feelings I have reading three-body series, even though it's a pretty dark series that also highlight the dark side of humanity, is that the world superpowers were somewhat effecticely cooperative. May be if Liu Cixin wrote the book around Covid, it might be quite different.

A lot of "smart" devices are better off dumb.

Been daily driving WSL Debian for about a year on my work laptop, without systemd and display server. At first, I was really only using it for application servers that just won't run or too tedious to run on windows. But windows is just terrible for dev work that's not part of windows eco system. So I found myself slowly moving most of my dev stuff to WSL. There are still some problems though.

Off the top of my head, first is neovim and the system clipboard. I can use clip.exe but there's a problem with unicode characters. It's expecting some UTF-16 encoding or something but my bash is in UTF-8. And somehow that messes up copying some unicode characters. I have to either use iconv to convert the encoding before copying or may be change my bash encoding.

Another recent problem I had is binding WSL ports to the window host's network. WSL automatically binds the service ports to host window's localhost with the same port number, which is pretty useful. But it only binds to localhost address. If you want it to bind to other addresses, you can't configure it. You can to run some kind of a patch program someone wrote, that rebinds WSL ports the wildcard address. And it doesn't work very well if the patch program's version and your WSL's versions are not compatible.

Another minor problem is that there's some kind of a freeze that lasts for about a minute when I'm doing fzf in bash. It happens sporadically. I'm not entirely sure if the problem's with Windows Terminal or WSL. It's likely WSL. It seems to happen with other terminal emulators as well.

All in all, WSL makes having to be on windows a whole lot bearable. I'll probably end up using only rudimentary UI apps on windows and move the rest to WSL.

This is also how I got hooked to computers as a kid as well. The problem nowadays though is the internet and easy access to addictive internet services and games. Back then, you're stuck with what's on your PC and somehow have to make the most out of it.

Well, I don't know. I kept telling how games like roblox are brainwashing and conditioning him into wanting to buy in-game junks. And, he still asks robuxs for this birthday.

Moringa leaves. The tree's hardy and ecologically sustainable. The drumstick fruits and the pods are edible but the leaves are the most nutritious. It also has the highest protein among leafy greens.

In south and south east asia, we consider it medicinal. But actually, it's just nutritious. We feed them in soup form to malnourished people and nursing mothers.

Been using foot for like 4 years.

Non-IT. Which makes it harder. Just a mid size distribution business. The thing is we're from Myanmar and everyone's so used to cracked proprietory software, even big companies. Got virus? Reinstall everything.

Now we're trying to make everything legit and licensing fees are getting a bit much, especially O365. For now I'm just trying to push non-power users toward libreoffice.
