  1. @ctietze brother printers. They didn’t get enshitified for years and #justwork - can highly recommend

    Was experimenting with Debian on my iBook around that time, but switched to Mac OS X as it was supposed to #justwork .

    Spent two entire weeks on an important document using Apple Pages.

    And because of a fundamental bug with no workarounds, in the end I could not export to PDF or print or do anything useful with it.

    That was the day I began to learn how to use LaTeX…

  3. @caseyliss @callin @Gildarts syncthing is a great dropbox alternative. you don't need a central server for it to work, but it does kind of help. i would guess it would #justWork with tailscale.

  4. It seems to "just happen" in some #projects. `poetry install` should set up executable scripts in the venv's bin dir for them - but it just doesn't do it. And no matter how high you crank the verbosity, it will not emit a single #diagnostic to tell you *why* it isn't doing it. At one point I thought it only happened with projects using src-layout - but I'm not so sure about that now.

    Documentation? Of course there's no mention of it. It should Just Work.

  5. Don’t buy HP inkjet printers. Save up then buy a lower priced Brother Laser printer. They’re reliable, the toner lasts for ages, and they #justwork arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/0

    I've never had occasion to peek under the hood of #djbdns; it Just Worked and that was enough for me. So I'm a little surprised by that design.

    I would have thought the key would be `<domain>-<recordtype>`, at least.

    Fascinating.

  7. It's 2023 and every second app on #Linux has to be manually told to respect the #HiDPI resolution of my #Thinkpad. Why can't this #JustWork ?

  8. @jgoerzen I mean I despise Apple on so many levels, but also use their technology in large part because the ecosystem they've built allows me to do a lot more than I could do without it (there are systems that exist but few of them #JustWork, which is what they're good at)...
