Twitter's open source rival BlueSky is now open for all. It is based on the AT Protocol. And It's FOSS is already on this new platform. We got to try new things, right?

Speaking of new things, there is a new Rust-based terminal that is generating quite a buzz in various coding communities on the web. It is called Warp and it brings IDE-styled editor to the terminal.

It is not open source and it is not available to everyone on Linux yet. However, I have got my hands it and soon I'll be checking if it's really worth all the hype. Afterwards, I'll share my experience with you, hopefully next week. If interested, you can check out its other promised features from its website below.

Today I take the next step in my journey to replace Windows with Solus Linux

Begin Rant: Recently, I have been very unhappy with the direction Microsoft has been taking as a corporation, and with Windows. As a corporation, I’m seeing shades of the Microsoft of old emerging. I find their all-in attitude toward AI, and their penchant to integrate it into all the apps they include with their OS, very disturbing. As far as I’m concerned, AI is a two-sided sword. On the positive side, it offers the potential to be a great boon to humanity. On the other hand, it poses an equ…
