I'm being paid to write Kotlin at the moment. I _still_ prefer modern Java and it's what I use for personal stuff.


Speaking as someone with terminal upgraditis, I've been satisfied with Debian testing. It's what I run now.


Sure, for quick throwaway notes or messaging apps Markdown is fine. But if I'm gonna sit down and write a proper document? I prefer handcrafting HTML.


You get exercise living your life

Something I've realized after moving to a walkable neighborhood is that you interact with your neighbors more because you run into them as you go about. Cars are isolating. Walking about builds community.

No car maintenance. No insurance. No gas.

You don't have to deal with traffic or parking

I still keep a car because it's the status quo but if I had to replace it I wouldn't


> Cars are isolating.

That’s what I want when I am trying to go somewhere.

> Walking about builds community.

I sure hope not. I walk my dog once or twice a day and avoid anyone who tries to talk to me. I’ve got enough community in other aspects of my life.


Personally, I only appreciated the value of a walkable neighborhood after I moved to one. Now I _never_ want to go back.

Cars and driving are awful


It screwed Android users over though, no?


You can disable read receipts and typing indicators without disabling RCS


You can? That didn't used to be the case on my phone at all. Glad to hear they changed that.


I use Google Messages. I assumed that was what you were using too. Messages settings - RCS chats - Send read receipts and Show typing indicators.


I love programming in Java!



Can your IDE write them for you?
