Bugs in package chromium -- Debian Bug report logs https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=chromium

I can confirm that Chromium remains very crashy in Debian Buster on my HP Envy 15 laptop

Nope. Xorg or Wayland, Chromium is still crashy AF in Debian Stable.

Doing a test: Maybe the Chromium crashes I have been experiencing in Debian Stable are due to Wayland. I'm in an Xorg session now. We'll see what happens.

I just changed the name of a variable I use about 50 times in one program

The same day I tweet how Debian is better/faster/stronger than MacOS and also better than Windows 10, I spend some time using the new Windows Terminal with Git and Ruby, and it all goes very well

My mid-2011 27-inch iMac is a very nice machine with Debian 10. GNOME is great on a 9-year-old computer.

Still enjoying @replit. It takes the friction out of coding.

While I've been testing Hey.com email, I'm probably going to stick with @TutanotaTeam because at €12 per year (about $13.50), the value is too good. https://tutanota.com/pricing

I'm trying the Workspace Isolated Dash GNOME Shell Extension. Will this solve my problem where I'm in one workspace and when I open a file, it opens in a different workspace because I already have the app open there? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/887/workspace-isolated-dash/

True suburban story: After weed-whacking for 30 or 40 minutes, boy are my armms tired. The weed whacker is heavy AF.

Recode's Land of the Giants podcast featuring @DelRey seems like the best podcast ever. Now all I have to do is listen to it. Not driving has put quite the dent in my podcast listening, meaning I've stopped doing it. https://pod.link/landofthegiants

One thing I didn't anticipate: In WSL, adding software and updating via apt is a bit creaky. While adding my Ruby development environment (including gcc and make), I had a couple of freezes and errors. I made it work, but "real" Linux is faster and easier.

I've been getting my Windows 10 development and journalism production environment together. The thinking is that if I have to be in Windows, I'll be able to make it work.

So I've been testing the Hey.com and Tutanota email services. One thing I learned is that Gmail isn't SO terrible — except for THE SPYING (under the guise of advertising). I suspect Google is doing a whole lot with your data.

Why do Apple fans think its a hardship for one of the WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE COMPANIES to "afford" to run its app store. Look at this ZDNet article that thinks Apple should maybe CHARGE DEVELOPERS MORE just for the privilege of making apps for Apple devices. https://www.zdnet.com/article/should-apple-raise-its-99-developer-program-fee-or-scrap-it-entirely/
