Gumus@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.English953·2 months agoI know there’s a lot of hate for Microsoft on Lemmy, but WSL is one of the best parts of Windows. It’s really powerful and well integrated to Windows. Since I still can’t leave for pure Linux install, I’m glad for WSL.

Gumus@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst experience you've had reading a book?1·1 year agoWhat would be the impact on everyday life if a nuclear EMP destroyed all electronics in our lives instantly? First there are a lot of dead from car / plane crashes, then most patients in hospitals, then many due to running out of water and food. And what’s left of the society then collapses into barbarism, violence and fighting for resources.
It’s possible something like this would happen should the nuclear weapons of today be used. The book is hard to stomach, but everyone should be aware of the possibility and be at least knowledgeable in survival without modern technology (if not outright stocked up in a doomsday vault).
Gumus@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst experience you've had reading a book?4·1 year agoOne Second After - W. R. Forstchen
Please everyone, read this book. It’s sad, disgusting and heavy, but it’s probably a documentary for events that may happen one day. It’s very well researched and the plausibility and realism make it even scarier. It hasn’t turned me into a prepper, but in part motivated me to make our house as self-sufficient as possible. Also it made me aware of small useful things in my surroundings that I used to be blind to.
Gumus@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some of the best purchases of your life?1·1 year agoStanding desk (electric, not crank operated) + tiny under-desk stationary bike. Sitting the whole day working/gaming and still getting to do some physical activity is great.
3D printer (I’ve got Prusa MK4+MMU3). It’s an amazing versatile utility, great skill to have, and a fun hobby. Don’t buy cheap chinese clones, it’s not worth the hassle.
Gumus@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?72·1 year agoI took up online tutoring and teaching programming for kids. It has great benefits:
- It’s an hour or so after work, it has a fixed schedule so it forces me to clock out
- it makes me focus hard so I completely forget about work
- it pays for itself (not my corporate day-job rate, but I’m not doing it for free)
- I can try out languages and tech I’d normally wouldn’t be able to in my day job, or I’d have to invest my free time for a side project
- I have a background in teaching… I like it, it’s fun and refreshing
- I’ve helped many kids jump start their interest in programming even in families that know nothing about tech at all. I’ve helped a few of them to get accepted to the school they wanted to and pursue a career in programming
All in all, teaching after work makes for a great hobby and a strong barrier for my day job so I don’t find myself working late anymore.
Gumus@lemmy.worldto Antiwork@slrpnk.net•quiet quitting is great and all, but have you tried chaotic working?English8·1 year agoThe term ‘Quiet quitting’ in this context is not about quitting your job without complaining.
Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary.

Gumus@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft to end its Android apps on Windows 11 subsystem in 2025English1·1 year agoWhy not use winget or chocolatey instead? They allow for auto updates and have much wider library. Winget can even pull from msstore if necessary. There’s even a convenient WingetUI that consolidates them and others (winget, choco, scoop, npm, .net, pip, etc.) to a single app manager.

It was a Bored Ape event "ApeFest’ in November. They used harmful UV bulbs instead of regular black light for decoration.
