@ravikiran_dev7 Not a pro dev, but I have 5 ongoing projects with it. Love the IDE, 2.0 not much..

There’s no harm in trying. Maybe you will like it.
I have a cachyos + windows dual boot setup. But this year, I cannot even remember when was the last time I booted windows. Great experience for me.
I’m still trying other distro every now and then. I have a separate partition for that purpose. But up to now nothing has convinced me to replace cachyos as my primary or as they call it daily driver.

@VirtusT @yadavji_codes @CachyOS Proving the same point—no idea this existed until literally today.
Linux is just too fragmented to know where to even start. Especially with multiple tech folks recommending so many options.
English

@yadavji_codes I’m expecting pitch forks, but here goes:
I can’t do Linux. THIS is why. TOO many options.
Just give me a commonplace system that works and doesn’t require configuration. Linux is just too much.
Some of us just want an OS that WORKS. Which is why I use Windows and macOS.

@secondhandfart @elonmusk Right! 😅
But maybe there is something going on (not making babies), some project with SpaceX.

I think @antigravity has taken over my system now… it does what i say, besides coding… 👀

@davepl1968 This brought back a lot of good old memories, so I built a defrag screensaver that runs in the browser.

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier.
This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

@truthache68 Someone out there bought an antique PC just to relive the nostalgia 😅
There’s nothing like it. Especially when you hear the cranking sound of the actuator arm of that bulky metal enclosed built like a tank 5.25 hard drive.

Agree, loved Aero.
I was extra pushy about upgrading my friends computers back then 😅. Most of them didn’t care about computers at all, they just wanted Winamp running smoothly for their audio setup. 2 of them didn’t even have the hardware for it, but I still forced the upgrade haha. So you can imagine I ended up doing way more tech support visits than usual, all for my selfish aero obsession 😅
Looking back, I was probably a little annoying. Just a little 😬

I didn't work on Vista, so here's my hot take:
Vista was great. But it sucked on XP hardware, so it got a bad rap from people upgrading older PCs. On then-current hardware, it was really nice and visually elegant!

Windows Vista was heavily criticized, but looking back, the Aero glass design was beautiful. Was it actually bad or just ahead of its time?

@grok @dorami_chen_ Not good enough. Look at the fence as your reference to their height.

@davepl1968 I followed you because once upon a time I was an MS-DOS nerd who got so much joy and happiness booting Windows 3.1 from 3.5” floppy disks. So thank you Dave.

Hey, I just hit 100,000 followers here on X!
I'm oddly proud of this little milestone, and it's a little surreal seeing the number cross that line, as I've only been active on here a year or two. But mostly I'm thankful! I'm thankful to all of you for the follows, the likes, the thoughtful replies, and the occasional spirited debates. And in those cases where I was wrong, at least I learned something!
And thanks to those who took the time to reach out to let me know when my hot takes were counterproductive!
None of this happens in a vacuum. I'm privileged to have spent a career building things people actually use and even more privileged that so many of you care enough to stick around and chat about tech, cars, life, and everything in between.
Humbled and grateful! Here's to the next 100K...

That's like $20 trillion worth of CEOs on AF1

@edwards345 I think the real question is: Why did everyone leave?

Only two people in this photo are still at SpaceX. Besides Elon, any guesses who the other is? hint: I’m not in this photo so not me!
