Most of (what we call) Linux OSes are formally GNU/Linux. GnuCash is as close as it gets to “made for Linux”. If you don’t want an accounting-specific application, but just generic spreadsheets, check out LibreOffice.

I highly recommend GnuCash for accounting though: a fellow board member cleaned up an org’s accounting by putting it all in GnuCash, where it was a bunch of error-prone Excel sheets before. That really made it easier to keep track and to do it right.

A quick Google shows Quickbooks to be cloud-based accounting software. For FOSS accounting, GnuCash exists so you could try that (it can also run on Windows and macOS). However, it’s unlikely to have feature parity so if you like the added convenience that Quickbooks offers, see if you can use Quickbooks in a browser. Being cloud-based, they would probably build a browser version before building a Linux desktop app. If they don’t and you need to run a Windows desktop app on Linux, you can probably do this using Bottles (which uses Wine and Proton under the hood, the tech that enables the Steam Deck).

Sure, some probably do. And you can be sceptical and discuss why that’s a dangerous and undemocratic direction. Effective Altruism is a question, not an answer. In thr community, asking for and being open to critical feedback is encouraged as the main tenet of good culture.

But if you look at the amounts, most EAs donate most to helping the poorest people alive today. Because it is so obviously good, and proven to work with high certainty.

Thanks for preparing your comment for my dependency injection! I agree that refactorability of comments is preferable over prematurely optimizing for performance.

Careful, Pascal doesn’t like it when you call him a camel

That’s an honest criticism that does not intend to devalue frontend. But there’s an overlap where “over-complicate” may imply that frontend (tools) should be uncomplicated.

Having only done a few frontend projects in recent years, I see obvious value to new, more powerful CSS selectors and even things like Tailwind. I can’t read Tailwind yet, but making intuitive user interfaces that work well on all kinds of devices for all kinds of people (screen readers?) is difficult and should not be expected to be simple, IMO. But this is a matter of opinion.

The ones most qualified to deal with that issue are, obviously, experienced frontend devs and they build these things.

And semantically, logically, you are 100% correct. But there are other, subjective, emotional, layers to language. Billionaire, business magnate, and oligarch can mean the exact same thing, but they have very different emotional meanings and associated contexts.

I think the author may have a point that by spreading the “HTML is not a programming language” meme, we may be contributing to its lower subjective status.

But this thesis is, by its very nature, subjective, of course.

Well, ehm… Thank you for the feedback I guess?

I appreciate your clarification: you mean that the logic part of conditional appearance should be handled by, for example, changing a property on an HTML node, and styling that property in CSS, did I get that right?

If I may offer some feedback in return, I would recommend you work on your phrasing. Insulting people can easily lead to being ignored or having low-value interactions. Asshole. 😉

I see you too are a backend enjoyer who is tired of modern frontend development. I highly recommend reading this:

certain engineering disciplines have overlap with public safety, and should come with some qualifications to back it up.

How long until they realize software engineering has overlap with public safety too?

That’s awesome! Well you won’t need to expect WMR updates for Windows anymore, firmware or otherwise. I didn’t know WMR worked with Monado. Does it do 6 degrees of freedom tracking?

Same here, on a Reverb. The only “upgrade path” that could take me to Linux is the announced Bigscreen Beyond at about €2k for a set. Pure SteamVR means it works great on Linux. Every other headset is a sidegrade at best. Even the Valve Index doesn’t have the sheer pixels the Reverb G2 has. I neeed the pixels for flight sims

Home Assistant back in 2019…

I’m sorry, that must be it, I immediately installed oh-my-zsh after switching to zsh

There’s probably some way to add it in bash, but if you install zsh and use the default options for everything, it just works! I especially love zsh for things “just work”: not just tab completion for directories but also having completion for tools like git, docker, kubectl, etc is super easy, and you don’t need any weird magic like in Bash if you want to use an alias with the same completion

Thanks for your addition! It is working fine for me, but I may have changed the config a bit from the default, don’t remember everything. I have default tiling now and that works really well.

At the risk of analysis paralysing you… But if you have an Nvidia video card, I would start with Pop!_OS

You can always revert (i.e. undo in a new commit) the faulty commit. That will keep the history. This meme is not just about pushing straight to master, it’s about push --force which overwrites the remote branch completely, changing history.

Thanks, this is what I am using now for Home Assistant, but overall it’s a bit expensive for the power you get with a Pi4.
