I’ve felt for a decade like I’m a fool for deploying on either self-managed Linux VMs or (for small projects) free tier Heroku, and now I feel like I was accidentally doing it the smart way the whole time and didn’t know it.
…or maybe I’m still in the familiarity bias phase of learning a new tool?

Life with Visual Studio Code #VSCode
1. I learned about `code --disable-extensions. This helped pinpoint the selection issue to most probably an extension.
2. I have removed most of the extensions. I have Go, Java, Python, XML, YAML. Go is from Google, Java from Oracle, Python from MS, XML & YAML from RedHat. This is very interesting!
3. I still feel very lost in terms of shortcuts. I'm struggling to decide if I should introduce the ones I'm familiar with or continue to experience #VSCode

I just read a brief informal history of my department written in the early 1990s. It's disturbingly familiar on many points, though the "high enrolments" it refers to are obviously a phenomenon from another century.

The experience @… describes here is deeply familiar to me: advertisers keep shoving in front of me ads in which I have •negative• interest.
Does the massive adtech surveillance apparatus actually work on someone out there? Because it’s sure failing to target me. https://wandering.shop/@Violinknitter/115624133826239199

Alright, I’m a new citizen to the #US, so I ain’t the most familiar with the options.
What can I do to address the inexcusable and illegal acts my federal government took last night towards #Venezuela and #Maduro?
1. Call my representatives. Figuring that out now. (This guide is helpful to someone like me with social anxiety, I like the tips for how to format what to say: #USPol #politics #usa

The vibe is not even the sort of “excessive show of force” vibe you get when militarized law enforcement goes off the rails and starts rioting. (I live in Minneapolis. I’m quite familiar with what •that• looks like.)
This is more like…hundreds of high school gym bullies get all hopped up on Red Bull and decided to take daddy’s SUV on a joy ride to randomly kidnap the first brown person they can corner…but only if nobody’s watching.
