KiCad. It’s an electronics design tool on par with commercial options in the industry, which cost a ton of money. Ever since the UI facelift it got a few years ago, it has become my go-to option. They are even working on integrating circuit simulation and finite element analysis, which is just crazy.

Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

Lemmy is one of the healthiest fediverse communities. It’s starting to get to the point where it can emulate the hours of infinite scrolling people do on reddit. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.

It being free is only barely enough incentive to use it. If they ever have effective anti-adblock and force users to watch five ads before every video, I’m gone. I will never give any money to a monopolistic company if I don’t have to.

Stock gnome feels a bit slow to me, but I love using it with custom keybinds for launching applications. Making good use of workspaces and multiple monitors makes it even better.

Compare the legacy Wikipedia design with the new one. Limiting the line width makes it so much easier to read, cause you don’t loose your place as often when you jump to the next line. This is especially infuriating to me, cause some languages still use the old design. I always loathe using German Wikipedia cause of this.

I agree that it can be bad when lines are excessively short, or when designers make no adjustments for desktop browsers.

Flat UIs with a few shadows in the right places can look geat

That’s not mobile first, it’s mobile only. Pretty much half of my web design course was the professor ranting about designs that don’t adapt to the device they are being viewed on, and how to do that right.

Single page apps are cool when they are done right, but such a huge hindrance when navigation is based on buttons and js.

I can drive manual, but I hate it. I don’t want to worry about releasing the clutch just right to avoid jerk, so I bought an electric car. Certainly was expensive, but it’s infinitely more smooth than a manual transmission could ever be. 23 year old, living in Germany.
