Reddit still seems like a big one, unfortunately. I don't contribute any longer but I haven't been able to stop lurking.

I've noticed your username and I'd be happy to talk to you about Java, if you'd like. It's my favorite programming ecosystem.

I'm in a Discord server. I'd love for some folks in there to try out Matrix but I'm too scared to ask. Even if I wasn't there's still the issue of Matrix being too techie.

I'm a big, big fan of sci fi and I get that it's a classic. I watched it once and it bored me to death. I couldn't believe it's standard movie length; it felt like it was six hours long.

I'll watch what MKBHD has to say about it but that's about it

Oh, man, it would've been PERFECT if they sold that. I regret not going when I had the chance.

0.999... (infinite nines) and 1 are equal. They are two representations of the same number, like 0.5 and 1/2 (one half) are.

I do have a smartphone but I tend to only use it as a consumption device. I prefer to use a laptop connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse to produce stuff.

I prefer the laptop even for simple things like filling out online forms

A habit I learned from Reddit is to keep a gratitude journal. One of my daily tasks is to update it with one thing from that day that I'm grateful for. It can be a big thing; it can be a very small thing like having a tasty muffin that morning. I update it even if my day was miserable and I struggle to think of something.

I've become a lot more mindful of things I'm grateful for (so I can update the journal). When I'm grateful, I worry less about sad things like death.

Happy Linux desktop user right here!

I feel that setting up and administering Linux is still out of reach for most people. But for day to day use? Considering most of that is web browsing? It's totally there.

I'm actually kinda astonished at how polished the GNOME desktop environment is
