Yeah sounds awesome to me too tbh. My mood brightens whenever I see snow and I don't find that low sunlight levels affect me at all.

However apparently between 1-10% of people are affected by seaonal affective disorder so those people may want to avoid Finland during the winter months

Phone: great for mindlessly scrolling or the odd comment.

Laptop: for actually getting anything done.

I'd use a desktop but sometimes I have to work from cafes or something so I prefer just using a laptop all the time rather than two machines

Hyphen or semicolon or full-stop here, not comma.

On a macbook? You can't plug a normal keyboard in without a USB hub because there's no USB-A port

What? Stack overflow is still very relevant. I don't even know what bubble you're in if you think it isn't.

Honestly confused by your comment.

American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years

What the fuck is this bullshit. This is the opposite of what has happened.

These things look beautiful though

How can it not be true though? Terminal shines when you chain together more than one operation.

Imagine doing this in a GUI: list the files in a large directory, ignore the ones with underscores in them, find the biggest file, read the last 1000 lines from it and count the number of lines containing a particular string.

Thats a couple of pretty straightforward commands in a terminal, could take 30s for an experienced terminal user. Or the same task could take many minutes of manual effort stuffing round with multiple GUI applications.

I'm certain that I do tasks like that (ad hoc ones, not worth writing dedicated software for) tens of times in a typical work day. And I have no idea how GUI users can be even remotely productive.
