  Yo, you just reaffirmed my idea that I thought was too wild! I have to replace this old phone of mine soon cause the battery’s dying, but I guess this thing will have to stay up for a bit, or much, longer.

  Please don’t remind me. Had a colleague with a senior title who just vibecoded on our CI pipeline and it ended up blocking deployments for half a day.

  AFAIK, the author isn’t anti-proprietary. His goal with the newsletter is to share news that relates to self-hosting, which isn’t limited to FOSS, which is something he mentioned in one of his recent newsletters (it’s a common criticism he gets apparently). And there’s the reality where the vast majority of the source for selfhosted software are hosted on Github.

  Back in university, it was an iPad mini 5, using Notability. Notability has enshittified badly though.

  These days (I’m no longer in university so I do write a lot less), I write on a Kobo.

  It does. I vastly prefer writing notes by hand than typing em. But my handwriting sucks when I have to write quickly, and I also don’t like lugging around giant stacks of paper. And so I settled on a digital writing pad, and just do the work to type my notes later. Acts as revision too.
