Sync is great! There are a few different ways to change the font in sync:

Settings shortcut: General > Base font size

Settings shortcut: View type > Title font

Settings shortcut: View type > Description font

Does…that make all those things okay then?

Personal experience:

Argo workflows and Argocd (vs. something like Harness) - Requires a handful of customizations to get it parity, but it’s really useful out-of-the-box I think. Good ol’ Jenkins works too, I suppose.

Soon, OpenTofu - unfortunately Hashicorp is going IPO which means bad news. OpenTofu is the fork of terraform.

Podman - Docker alternative. It’s really close, especially with Podman Desktop. I had a few issues that I ran into, but there are probably workarounds.

Vscode / codium - yeah it’s Microsoft, and has tracking. But it’s popular for a reason.

Another fun quote: “Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no?”. Plenty to grab from that quote, but there are reports the indigenous people got so depressed excited to enter the kingdom of heaven they essentially did nothing for as long as they could, simply waiting to die.

Also I watched this full video, because I feel like it’s important to get full context of these things. I learned some other stuff:

• Muslims blocked the route to China, India, etc. and Muslims were at war with Spain. No particular country, just “Muslims”.
• The indigenous population ate people, and sure Europe wasn’t great but at least they didn’t EAT people. Plus, they worshiped false gods and not the GOD, so while the folks Columbus met were pretty nice the rest of them were pretty terrible. Still, he had to spread Christianity to the tribes he met too.
• Surprisingly, the tribes Columbus met were actually intelligent, and could even do stuff like copy the sounds/words Columbus made! Amazing what these primitive people could accomplish! It’s like they’re almost human.
• Everything needs context of their time. For example, slavery has been around forever so we can’t really judge from our 500 years future perspective. We also can’t use other people’s opinions on Columbus at the time because they were competitors of Columbus. Thus, any criticism of Columbus (and perhaps, anyone in history) is just people not understanding that events in the past can’t be judged from our lens of the present.

Columbus, slavery = forgiven!

There’s a good 3-part Behind the Bastards episodes on Columbus. If anyone hasn’t had a listen it’s a great overview of what Columbus really was: a bastard.

Beehaw disables downvotes - so it may be that it shows from the instance, but technically it has “zero” downvotes.

Intuit software, specifically TurboTax. This also may become obsolete to replace if the IRS will give out free software as rumored for next year, but I’m surprised nothing as intuitive ^pun ^heh or user-friendly has popped up. Maybe I need to do more research, not sure.

If you deflate the tires, doesn’t that reduce the mpg of the vehicle?
