@lunr @gnome agreed. I currently have Debian 13 on GNOME on my thinkpad and its such a neat experience. However I'm planning to switch to MacOS soon but will still keep Linux for x64 stuff.

@gnome GNOME's Modern UI. Looks amazing. Always my go to DE on Linux. Looks better than Win 11 too

@werdahias same here. Brain's bustling with ideas but zero time to implement them :(

@praveen @prav will do

Day 3 of peak unproductivity due to a sprained leg. I've barely moved out my bed and the bone fluid doesnt seem to go away. If I don't recover by Dec 12, I have to go to MDC Navi Mumbai in a wheelchair :(

(2/2) for a challenge I decided to go all in on C by writing software in C (yes in 2025) and it turned out to be an amazing experience to my No-LLM rule. I ended up writing 2 really good software projects without using LLMs in C in the past 6 months and honestly I like C because there’s no package manager that makes things easy for you. You’re your own god, you’re given a compiler and you can build whatever you want with it. Such is the power of C.

(1/2) I often forget how good I’m at writing code even without LLMs. If anything LLMs make my code 100x worse. Back in 2022 when GPT first came out, I gave into the trap of letting LLMs fix my code and it turned out that I learned nothing from those projects. It wasn’t until 2024 when I completely banned usage of LLMs in my development side of things that I actually realised how I can write code a lot better that’s well documented and perfect. Been writing software since 2020 btw.

@werdahias GitHub has become too mainstream these days but I’m glad codeberg is catching up

Law of Studying Engineering: The closer you get to graduation, the less you care about your grades and finals.

@fkamiah17 Don't know who came up with the lyrics but they did a really good job. Amazing work!

@billchenchina sadly StreetComplete isn’t on iOS yet…. Currently using Go Map!! to add data on my phone and the OSM website when I’m on pc

Remote mapping on OSM is honestly a good time-killer hobby.

Finally finished making the presentation for my talk at MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai. It's about 50 slides and took me 2 weeks to make. The challenging part is to actually cover all of those 50 slides in 30 minutes.

@disaster2life The fuck? I have to give TOEFL next year and just noticed that it costs 18K INR :|

Thanks to @contrapunctus , I unlocked a new addiction: OpenStreetMap mapping

@badrihippo LLMs in a nutshell. A technology nobody asked for

@vaidik_ @praveen @prav yeah those issues are the reason why I moved from Monal to Siskin. Wouldn't mind moving back if these issues get fixed.

@praveen @vaidik_ @prav they closed it as they said it'll be fixed in an upcoming UI rewrite. Let's hope it does
