    Yeah, it’s a lot to pay for a keyboard that might not work out for you. That’s why I suggest the Logitech.

    I’d prefer one without the numpad, personally like the old Microsoft Sculpt, but for some reason MS refuses to update that keyboard to a more modern, lower latency wireless tech.

    I’m currently flirting with some of the mechanical options like the Moonlander, but haven’t yet pulled the trigger on that one.

    As for the mouse, seriously the vertical mouse made a HUGE difference for me. More than the keyboard honestly.

    On the off chance you’re actually serious.

    The thing I was pointing out is that you have a union. Unions are actively and aggressively busted by US companies. Almost every US state has “at-will” employment laws that mean you can be laid off at any time for pretty much any reason at the drop of a hat.

    All of a sudden that 400K or whatever you were expecting to make this year turned into $0. You no longer have health insurance. Those RSUs you had vesting this year are gone (and those RSUs made up a big chunk of your compensation - that’s how people get into the 300-400K+ a year numbers).

    The highs can be high, but the lows are very low.

    Bluesky is still in beta. It’s intentionally not open to the general public because federation hasn’t yet been opened up and they only have one instance running.

    The nice thing about Bluesky’s architecture (over ActivityPub) is the fact your content and identity is portable. So you can move over to a different instance as they start to come online.

    I think the important takeaway from articles like this is the fundamental misunderstanding of decentralized social protocols. It shouldn’t be on one central authority how things are moderated globally. These kinds of articles kind of prove the point.

    Buy the cheapest MacBook model you can find with an M-series chip and as much RAM as you can stomach the cost for.

    I’d say 8gb is barrrrre minimum for doing app development. You’ll want 16gb.

    Listen, I’m the last person you’d expect to recommend a Mac. I am an Android guy. No other Apple products in my place.

    …but I’ve owned every top end model from pretty much every relevant PC manufacturer just trying to find something as reliable, hassle free, and well built as my work Mac and it just doesn’t exist.

    The MacBooks are just in a whole other class. The battery life, the standby time, the speed of those M1/2 chips, runs cool and quiet.

    I’m neutral on MacOS. It tends to stay out of my way. I don’t use any of the Apple apps. It is usually stable as hell. My work MBP currently has an up time of 68 days without a reboot, and the only reason it rebooted last time was for security patches.

    Build quality is unmatched, screen is great, trackpad is still a generation ahead of anything else, keyboard is great.

    I accept my fate, Fediverse. Roast away
