Me too, running a 16 inch M1 Pro. So glad I went for 32GB as that'll add to the longevity. Providing no hardware failures I can see at least another 4-5 years. It's been running silky smooth up to now even with the Golden Gate update.

do you have any recommendations?

Try Fn+Control+F2

I personally wouldn't but I have a leaning towards foss tools where possible, currently using godot, blender and gimp, my gamedev holy trinity.

Godot is good enough for a lot of 3d games especially if you have stylised art that doesn't need the highest fidelity rendering.

If I was trying to make a high production, high realism, commercial 3d game I would probably look at Unreal engine over Unity because I think the former is better but also Unity have shown they're willing test the limits of money extraction from their licensees, Unreal so far haven't pulled any similar nonsense as far as I'm aware.

Apparently you can change your country via a VPN and pay whatever it costs in that country. Try India or Brazil.

I've heard the term "Ultra processed foods" used for twinkie like foods.

Looks like havenweb can be self hosted and posthaven doesn’t offer that.

Is there a similar tool that a non-security expert could use on the Mac?

KeePassXC supports TOTP so you could have it on your desktop in an encrypted database.

I, very fortunately, landed a small NGO as my first dev job out of boot camp. We're a team of 3 with full autonomy over how we structure ourselves and the tools we use. Also, the bureaucracy is little to none.

Based on what I've read here, other sites, friends and colleagues, I should have changed jobs at least a couple of times by now but I've been here almost 4 years now and don't regret it. If you've found a place that you find fulfilling then I don't think I need to follow conventional advice. The downsides are less exposure to different project types and not working with a bigger team of experienced devs. I need to compensate for this by putting in extra effort on my side but I still think I've made the right choice for now.

I think if I ended up in a commercial dev job, I would have started looking at other options as well. It makes a real difference when you see you work being used for a greater good.

While you're considering other options, maybe also consider joining a smaller dev team where you have more autonomy and less red tape.

Macs are Unix computers.

lwn?
