In the age of "agentic software development" I feel it's important to understand that every time you create a new public repository and commit code, you're actually adding two things to the OSS world. Code, obviously, but just as importantly, **expectation**. People will eventually stumble upon your code and think, hey that looks useful! Only to find out quickly that it is not maintained, untested and not written by a capable developer. That's wasted time for everyone.

Routing people! Is any of the OSS router ingestion tooling already adapted to work with Overture road data? I know @migurski@mastodon.social worked on adapting planetiler, just wondering if similar efforts going on for Valhalla, OTP, Graphhopper, OSRM? #OSM #OpenStreetMap #routing

A week into CachyOS / Plasma land - it's been a really good experience.

BUT

It breaks down where there's applications you don't want but need. In my case, examples are Notion and MS Teams that I need for work collab. Neither exist on Linux as native apps. Both have web apps and electron wrapper "apps" that are flaky and slow.

So where modern linux shines is really when you don't need to make these compromises and you have full agency over what applications you use.

If you're checking news websites multiple times per day and want a quieter life, I recommend @kagihq@mastodon.social news at https://news.kagi.com Updated once daily, configurable sections and content. They have a mobile app too.
