Hi! 👋 I'm Jan (John). I study 💻 IT and I'm a big enthusiast in this field. I also do graphic design and 🎞️ animation. Location: 🇨🇿 Czech Republic - 🍺 Pilsen 🌐 https://jap.li 🐈 https://jap.li/github 💵 https://jap.li/patreon 🫵💖

I decided separate my blog and portfolio into 2 sites and 2 CMS systems. My main site still runs on my favorite #kirbycms and my blog now runs on very lightweight CMS called "W". Main reason is that I wanted a extremely simple way to make posts. I will soon publish a post explaining it in detail.

I finally figured out the power of @vivaldi.com workspaces. They are persistent and they keep any media in them playing even when not selected. Basically imagine like you have 4 browser windows but they are all in one window instead of 4 and you can freely switch between them. I must recommend them.

Image of Vivaldi Workspace menu with one workspace is playing video in the background.

I hate that in Windows, I have to boot into safe mode just to delete a corrupted browser profile, because for some reason I don't own a folder that's in my own AppData folder.

I would like to point out the immense effort the animation and engine teams behind Project DIVA put into the animation engine. It really makes you wonder how much was spent developing the actual rhythm game compared to the real-time rendering engine that powers the background animations.

Adobe making a great example that using proprietary software anywhere in your development is a massive liability, even if you fork over buckets of money. Why should people invest time and money learning your software if you just do this with no recourse.

Having a great time while LinkedIn is baiting me to buy Premium. It's kinda scary that this is the platform of choice for companies. It honestly feels like Pay To Win but for your carrier.

The greatest thing about Linux is that you can make it look exactly how you want it. Loved windows xp? Make it look like that! Or are you perhaps a mac user? No problem! 😄🐧 Linux is no longer hard to use, you don't even need to touch the terminal these days. Try it it's free! No install needed.

People who love Open-Source willingly chose to use worse or more complicated products to prove that Open-Source is better than close-source. And I'm one of them.
