A new fursuit. Current one is almost 15 years old, has been to dozens of conventions with hours and hours of running around like an idiot.
Fursuiting for me is a hugely important form of self expression and escapism, I absolutely love it.
I have an EV and a truck with a manual. I love them both.
Every time I swap back to my EV I'm shocked (no pun intended) by how immediate the response from the accelerator is. There's no delay for air to flow, revs to build, nothing.. Just instant, push you back into the seat torque.
That being said, I also fully expect my Toyota to outlast my Tesla lol
Not really.
The high volume of unoriginal Linux content is getting old, and that's coming from somebody who uses Linux.
Behind that, there's very little in the way of niche communities/interests. But I suppose that's just because the total number of users isn't high enough for people with specific interests to reach some critical mass .
So for me, Lemmy hasn't been anything more than a news aggregator interspersed with the occasional funny meme.
New laptop for myself. I've spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.
Dell XPS 13 Plus, got it fully loaded but with the least amount of storage available. Immediately upgraded the NVMe to 2T and installed Linux.
Despite making a descent income, I'm weirdly averse to spending on myself. In any case, totally worth it, it's been a month and I use the machine every day.

Doing this is a hot take, but "clean architecture" is a joke.
My company is obsessed with it.
Oh they were very friendly. Actually in the middle of walking toward me and another person in that pic <3
This handsome boy was hanging around a wedding yesterday
Northeast US here. Fairly healthy competition in my area, the fiber at my home is about $50/mo
Systems Engineer/.Net Developer here. Currently have a super flexible hybrid setup. I work from the office 2-3 days a week. My commute is about 15 minutes when I decide to go to the office.
I like seeing my coworkers, using the awesome conference rooms, free snacks and coffee. Change of scene keeps me focused and motivated.
My main motivation for working where I do is that nobody gives a shit what I'm doing or where I'm working from day to day. We're all professionals working to deliver our projects on time. How we deliver is up to us.
If my boss told me I had to start coming to the office every day at some set time, I'd immediately start searching for a new job.
Yep. When RIF died, Reddit was dead to me. I refuse to give the owners of Reddit the satisfaction of me switching to their app.
I'm also slowly pushing myself from Twitter to Mastodon. Hoping more of the accounts I follow on Twitter make the switch too.
I was there and did a ton of fursuiting!
