The service has been inconsistent and/or down for the last 12 hours..

Wish I could too. I ended up running Windows, Linux and MacOS. While gaming is getting there, tools in many many domains are still unsupported, e.g. Office, Adobe, Audio Production. No OS is perfect and running all three is the way for the most comprehensive experience for people with interests in multiple domains.

Last time I used Matrix for our internal team notifications were beyond broken and we moved to Zulip, verification and authentication were also very funky at the time, I don't dare to try it again.

What do you mean? There's 1 gigabit ethernet.

I tested three pieces of hardware with different chips: T480, X670E Taichi, USB Bluetooth dongle

All worked better with Windows than Linux. It may depend but I hoped at least one would be good..

> Linux works great for gaming except some anti-cheat stuff which probably won't be legal anymore anyways in Europe under the PLD.

I tried to have a gaming setup with Linux (SteamOS and Bazzite) but both failed when I tried to connect more than one Bluetooth controller and they'd be unable to distinguish them or disconnect everything after a few minutes, it was a frustrating experience.

I find the /usage command most interesting as it's giving you a % towards your limits and when they reset rather than having to note all of that down and guess when you'll hit them.

I did this a few months back and never looked back. Linux failed me in music production and gaming, while the latter isn't important, I have invested heavily in audio VSTs and it's unacceptable that even with Wine, they do not work and no virtual machines are not enough. I hope MacOS treats you well.

What about other Emacs functions such as org-mode? Or did you never use them to begin with?

Kagi has been a great asset for the past year, their support team is phenomenal and responsive. The result quality is great and have seen co-workers eyeing the service because of what they've seen.

It is not just _running_ things that's the problem, authentication and authorization are massive, I've attempted to run various Audio plugins with Wine which either do not run at all or they run on a one-time basis which is not feasible for any long term setup. Oh if only you could run them under a vm..

The last 3 times I installed Windows 11 _and_ used an account were a nightmare as for some reason, Microsoft would disable my account for logging in during an install... I avoid Windows like the plague but it's the only place where I can use my audio virtual instruments (No audio production in VMs and I don't own Apple hardware and it'd be ironic for the Windows setup to push me to get an Apple device...)

Clojure was not "popular new" to be "boring" in a way, but it is boring in the sense that it works in a predictable manner, I use it for backend and data analysis, just works.

Wozniak is incredible, it saddens me that SuperMemo will probably drift into obscurity due to being closed source and the chances of seeing its source code drift away day by day, it took a few years to get anything beyond IE support after that died.

I wish to see a FOSS incremental reading application in the very least, such an underrated concept.
