I'm actually Latino and I don't hate Latinx. I feel it comes from a good place and I also feel genderless language is important.

I do have a smartphone but I tend to only use it as a consumption device. I prefer to use a laptop connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse to produce stuff.

I prefer the laptop even for simple things like filling out online forms

A habit I learned from Reddit is to keep a gratitude journal. One of my daily tasks is to update it with one thing from that day that I'm grateful for. It can be a big thing; it can be a very small thing like having a tasty muffin that morning. I update it even if my day was miserable and I struggle to think of something.

I've become a lot more mindful of things I'm grateful for (so I can update the journal). When I'm grateful, I worry less about sad things like death.

I learned dependency injection as I went along in my engineering career and I've become a huge fan of it. And yeah, I strongly prefer to do it "manually" without relying on a framework.

I push hard for it in code reviews

This is me. And speaking as someone who tends to love his writing otherwise. It took me several tries to get through Foundation and once I finally finished it I was left with zero desire to read any other books in that series.

For me it was the UI. Replies to comments on Lemmy are offset by, like, a single pixel. They're more obvious here. Yup, that was the biggest thing for me.

Happy Linux desktop user right here!

I feel that setting up and administering Linux is still out of reach for most people. But for day to day use? Considering most of that is web browsing? It's totally there.

I'm actually kinda astonished at how polished the GNOME desktop environment is
