Re:Iosevka is an open-source, sans-serif and slab-serif, monospace font
on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @06:15AM (#50085203)
The default font since GNOME 48 is Adwaita Sans (a modified Inter with different l's and I's) and for monospace it is Adwaita Mono (a modified Iosevka.)
I like it a lot!

I use Claude Code and one of the steps in my workflow is do a review loop until no issues are found and it never loops. So my experience is entirely different. Even if I say: fix all issues. So not only the critical issues.

Re:Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with Switch, Nintendo confirms

Although the handhelds have been backwards compatible, only the Wii and the Wii U had backwards compatibility. The SNES, N64, Gamecube and Switch did not have backwards compatibility.

Although NativeAOT sounds cool and it's better than nothing: I don't like that it comes with a bunch of limitations[1]. I would have loved this if you could just use it without any changes, but I'm very worried that at some point I used something that prevents me from getting it to work and I have to figure out which limitation I just walked into. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Saying "tech is bad" or "screens are bad" sound very narrow-minded to me. Sure, there are issues in this "Tech-Saturated World" but I don't think avoiding Tech as much as possible is the answer.
I prefer a digital balance over digital minimalism.

Redundant USB stick might be more reliable than a single USB stick. But for me a USB stick is just too unreliable.

I'm a developer. People have often come to me with Excel sheets that were really slow because it was just too much for Excel. Almost all of the times IMHO a specific solution should have been developed for it. I'm curious to see if this makes it better or actually worse.

You can add a button to your Raspberry Pi to temporarily disable all the blocking. Not the best solution but still useful to know I think.

Just checked again to make sure. Wifi 0%, Bluetooth 0%
