Scrath

The code snippets are the worst part. God forbid I ever have to update them because I have to manually indent every line in them correctly

Oh yes definitely. I currently have to write the technical documentation for a project I am working on in MS Word because that's the format my supervisor wants (since everyone in the organisation already has word installed by default and knows how to use it at least somewhat). Probably a quarter of the time I spend writing is lost to fighting the formatting in word. I managed to have stuff happen that my coworkers have never seen word do before like taking the content of all my textfields (which I use for pasting code snippets) and having it duplicated inside each textfield...

I wished I could use LaTeX for it but I understand the argument that some people after me may have to work on the project who don't know LaTeX.

I'm gonna upvote the git + plain markdown solution simply because it is a very basic solution that does not depend on a lot of specific software in case you want to switch in the future. I had a look at obsidian in the past but discarded that idea because it required a license for commercial use back then which it seems they either changed or I misread the terms at the time.

Still I am a fan of going as low-tech as possible with note formats so that I can easily hand down my notes to whoever comes after me and they won't need a special program to open anything.

Quarto looks nice and would be something I would look into if I did more data heavy work. As it is I only write technical notes and documentation for software for which plain markdown is perfectly suitable.

I talked to Microsoft Copilot 3 times for work related reasons because I couldn't find something in documentation. I was lied to 3 times. It either made stuff up about how the thing I asked about works or even invented entirely new configuration settings

I have no idea about the SOCKS5 part but protonvpn supports port forwarding at least.

Not OP but I'm also running GrapheneOS. After some initial difficulty I had with one of my banking apps I got everything to work just fine.

What does not work unfortunately is paying via google wallet or revolut.

Only 55k? Isn't that peanuts for most companies?

I didn't look to much at the data but I think csv might actually be an appropriate format for this?

Nice simple plaintext and very easy to parse into a datastructure for analysing/using it in python or similar

Honestly I would say it might go the other way with laptops disappearing and being replaced with tablets.

The operating systems and software on tablets is getting ever more capable even for productivity stuff. Add to that newer generations growing up while using mostly smartphones and maybe sometimes a computer and I believe if having to decide they would choose a tablet over a laptop. In general the line between laptops and tablets is getting a bit blurry with windows based tablet PC's and tablets that come with a keyboard cover.

Who's the character on the 3rd spot?

I'm not honestly. As far as I know SteamOS is based on arch which should give it a massive boost in comparison to other linux distros just from the number of Steam Decks

I don't know. If I were to wake up in the afternoon I would probably feel like I'm wasting most of my day
