I mean… yes those are true? lol.

Surely an unpopular opinion lol.

Python is a great first language.

He was definitely hit from the front. Look at the layout of things.

Bring on the chunked 🤘

There’s not much to it. You just use the determinate installer. Works great.

For simple use cases… Linux can actually be a lot more hands off and just works.

It’s actually pretty great for the grandparent use case.

I’ve been with Fedora for awhile now because I like the project and how it pushes things forward. Changed to Silverblue and never returned.

Now I’m using Bluefin because I like the little tweaks on top of Silverblue. Would recommend.

Have you checked out Aurora?

Bluefin, very happy. Nice toys on top of an atomic Silverblue base. Love the concept.

Mildly vagina

Sir, this is a Lemmy’s.

In my basement as well… along with 3x the number of textbooks as this. Used to buy them used for fun.

Welcome to the former lifer student club lol.

Dammit, take my upvote.

People need programmers to make boring things. Often boring things make more money than programming stuff for science.

We need both. Programming is a tool.

You can still use either.

Python has never been a big language for app development… no idea why you would call it old school.

To answer op, Swift for iOS; Kotlin on Android.

I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

Looks great. I’ll probably wait for a flatpak and try it out.

I’ve already automated Restic with bash scripts and systemd timers but… used to use Vorta with Borg and did like having a GUI.

I do with Mobius and it’s usable. I have a Synology NAS always there at home to sync to though. (Mobius syncs 1-2 hours per day in the background but it’s dynamic and not predictable thanks to Apple).

If I didn’t syncing between iOS devices would probably not work very well.

Yes instant syncing with iOS requires you to open the app if you can’t wait. I’ll often open Mobius if I’m working back and forth to make sure it syncs instantly.

You could probably create a Tailscale vpn network (or something similar) and setup Syncthing to use the Tailscale address of your laptop.
