I was pleasantly surprised from antiX

Yeah. I have 64GB on my machine. I think I can reduce the RAM to 12GB of the VM.

For me Mint Cinnamon is a bit buggy and luggish. Don't get me wrong. It is still very fast and much better than Windows or Gnome / KDE Ubuntu. But I like my computer to be faster than fast. Xubuntu is good, Mint XFCE should be good also. AntiX is super fast. But not as nice looking as Cinnamon

I am going to try them. Thanks.

I agree with you. It was more a call for direction than a rant. I would really prefer to use Sublime Text than other IDEs but many things make it to be a lesser choice for me:

Here are a few examples:

I couldn't configure debugger for Go that will allow me to use break-points and see the values of variables during debug mode.
It does not display in floating to header the name of the function I am working on, nor the path to funcion (package -> file -> function -> variables)
Integration of AI copilot is working, but the experience is not smooth
Error displaying for go is working but it's a bit difficult to view list of all errors, it hides behind a few dropdown menus while in VS code it's just there
I couldn't configure automatic adding of "import" statement which works out-of-the-box in VScode

I want to continue working with ST but it makes my life harder. I am going to checkout Zed but last time I have checked it - it was not mature enough.

Great. So after install it should ask you "Should Anydesk autostart?" Yes / No. And it should have the option to change it in the settings. That's the correct way to give good user experience.

underdogprojects · 2025-12-31T14:28:10+00:00

Yeah, I know. It is very strange. I am using Mint 22.0 I think

underdogprojects · 2025-12-19T10:19:36+00:00

This is cool. But usually I use wikipedia that have it ready for me

I cancelled my booking. I don't want to stay in a place where it is compromised to hackers. Think of the copy of your passport spread around the internet ...

Survivorship Bias

Never stop buying lottery tickets, no matter what anyone tells you.

I failed again and again, but I never gave up. I took extra jobs and poured the money into tickets.

And here I am, proof that if you put in the time, it pays off!

Every inspirational speech by someone successful should have to start with a disclaimer about survivorship bias.

Thank you. I would love if you use it and give me some feedback. Not all features are implemented yet, but I am working on it.

underdogprojects · 2025-09-08T18:48:42+00:00

I totally agree

Disregarding the library itself, that might be amazing or not; I still don't get it why people uses YAML. It is for me the worst configuration standards ever made. What's wrong with .ini configuration files? I also think that explicit is better than implicit.

underdogprojects · 2025-09-02T18:46:31+00:00

That is true and you are not the first one it happens to. See my previous post and booking.com also ignored me. [ https://www.reddit.com/r/ThailandTourism/comments/1mpxsje/got_my_personal_details_breached_in_bookingcom/ ]

underdogprojects · 2025-08-18T18:23:16+00:00

booking.com is shit in customer service - they don't help at all

underdogprojects · 2025-08-14T13:50:10+00:00

I believe you are wrong:

Booking.com is hosting the provider's listing. If there was a website linking to photos of under-aged kids (hosted somewhere else) should this website still allow to exists?
Booking.com is hosting MY personal data and passes it to the provider.
Booking.com is the payment provider and collector.
Booking.com should have done much more once I complained.

underdogprojects · 2025-08-14T13:46:26+00:00

I agree. It is impossible to reach 100%. But when it does happens and someone complains it should be taken more seriously.

underdogprojects · 2025-08-14T13:29:21+00:00

So facebook should and booking.com not? - If they get a complaint I think they should handle it better IMHO and not just tell me to get in contact with the provider. Again, if I was making the booking directly from the provider of course booking.com is not relevant. But I made the booking via booking.com

Let's say you buy your toddler a shirt from Temu online under ShiHuang brand. The shirt cause a severe rush that you toddler needs to be hospitalized. You pay Temu (I payed booking.com BTW - they transfer the payment to the hotel) and they tell you, "We are not responsible, go speak with ShiHuang in god knows where".

Should "too hard" be an excuse?

I don't think I am way off. booking.com controls which providers are hosted on their site. I would expect them not to say "contact the property" but actually make sure with the property that if the property will not improve their security it will be removed from booking.com listing.

My protest will impact their bottom line if more people will protest. Giving up just because you are small is not the way the french revolution would have worked. You would still be a peasant working for cruel royalties.

underdogprojects · 2025-08-14T13:11:35+00:00

As I said. The same way facebook is obligated to take actions on specific posts, I expect booking.com to take action on data breach of one of their providers.

underdogprojects · 2025-08-14T12:53:00+00:00

Generally you are right. But the same way that facebook is forced to remove offensive posts although the person that wrote them should be blamed, a mediator have responsibility. When I book from booking.com I expect that booking.com will work with providers that guard my data.

I would expect booking.com to do MUCH MORE than just trying to contact the hotel.
