I mean, this strongly has to depend on what kind of software you are developing. I don't know a single developer who primarily uses Windows. Literally everyone around me uses Linux for development work (and a large portion of them also use Linux for their personal machines).


Of course. However if a developer isn't using Windows typically they are using a Mac.

In corpo-world. Everyone is using Windows. If they are using Linux it would be through a VM or WSL. I guarantee none of those people are using Linux at home.

So for every developer you know that is using Linux, there are many more people using Windows supplied to by their IT department.


> In corpo-world. Everyone is using Windows. If they are using Linux it would be through a VM or WSL. I guarantee none of those people are using Linux at home.

And I guarantee that you're wrong, because I work a corporate job where I have to put up with Windows and am 99% Linux at home. (The other 1% is *BSD and illumos.)


You are the minority but you can believe whatever you like.

The vast majority of developers I have worked with (and I've contracted a lot of places) know next to next to nothing about Linux. They can barely use a terminal (Powershell, CMD, Bash/Zsh) and often can't do anything outside of the IDE.

If they do use Linux. It be on a Raspberry PI that gets stuck in a drawer after a few months.

To those that keep voting me down on this. The teams and environments you work in are the outliers. I've had to accept that I am in the minority as a Linux user even amongst software professionals.


Yeah, I'm probably a minority. That doesn't mean that nobody uses linux, just that it's less common.


I never said that nobody uses Linux. I said that it was extremely uncommon even amongst developers.

[...]

> I never said that nobody uses Linux.

I'm willing to believe that this is just a misunderstanding resulting from nonliteral exaggerated language for effect, but ... yes, you did.


>Sure, there are a lot of people that use Linux indirectly e.g. deploy to a Linux box, use Docker or a VM. But if someone isn't running Windows, 9 times out of 10 they are running a Mac.

That was my original comment. It is pretty easy to that to assume that when someone says "none" in a subsequent comment they mean "almost none" following that statement.


Oil is how Russia funds their war-machine. Bombing refineries makes it harder and less sustainable to keep the war going. It's not about making civilians suffer when you literally need to pressure the enemy into stopping the war by blowing up their infrastructure.


This statement is very uninformed. Other sources are intermittent, nuclear energy is not. The problem about many countries not being able to produce fuel rods themselves is true, but the exact same applies to other energy sources. Most nations depend on very few other nations for imports of oil gas etc.

Nuclear power plants only have a high upfront cost, which is compensated by their long lifetime of 60-100 years. Other energy sources also have high upfront production costs + you need to spend additional money on infrastructure for batteries/storage.

I also don't understand your argument on military targets. A NPP is a target the sane way a solar park, wind-park, geothermal facility or whatever would be a target. And to add to that, wile they are of course not indestrctible they are extremely robustly built. You can literally fly an airplane into them and it wouldnt result in a meltdown.. I do agree on your point on decentralization, yes.


Yes. LineageOS is an insecure mess.


It's widely supported


Both of these things can be true at the same time.


You are also rocking a bunch of security vulnerabilities then, because this thing is EOL for a long time.


I have the latest LineageOS version and the 4.4 kernel will be EOL in 2027. So no.


I hope one day we can have the same thing for the helix editor.


I'd recommend just getting a piblade and mounting them...


You need secure hardware to have secure software.


Ideally, but in the absence of secure hardware secure software can fill a lot of gaps.


I wish it would have support for Zigbee so I can pair it with other open data aggregation systems like Home Assistant. AirGradient, another cool air quality monitor, for example, does not have this.


The trick with the AirGradient is to use one of the ESPHome configs available [1] instead of their crappy Arduino sketch. Then it integrates with Home Assistant perfectly.

[1] e.g. https://github.com/MallocArray/airgradient_esphome


They integrate with Home Assistant via MQTT:

Matter protocol support would also be a useful feature.

Potential integration: Run HVAC fans and/or an attic fan and/or a crawlspace fan if indoor AQI is worse than outdoor AQI

This says that Air Quality Sensor support was added to matter protocol in 2023: https://csa-iot.org/newsroom/matter-1-2-arrives-with-nine-ne... :

> Air Quality Sensors – Supported sensors can capture and report on: PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, NO2, VOC, CO, Ozone, Radon, and Formaldehyde. Furthermore, the addition of the Air Quality Cluster enables Matter devices to provide AQI information based on the device’s location

/? matter protocol Air Quality Cluster: https://www.google.com/search?q=matter+protocol+Air+Quality+...


We'll definitely look into supporting Matter in the future, as it would allow integration with the most common home automation platforms/apps out there.


FWIU Thread and Matter work better when there is a "Border Router" ('hub') in the system; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32167256#32186688


Interesting, but I wonder what does this offer that typst doesn't?
