Hey lain. Thanksgiving just passed, so let's be thankful. What's done software your thankful for? For me it's django, notepad++, terminator, and just Python on general.

Wouldn't this thread be better suited to /tech/? Polite sage.

>>14496 I think he was referring to software we use for development, not tech in general so yeah, this would be appropriate here For me, I am thankful for: urxvt tmux vim zsh

I'm thankful for a heck of a lot of software, but just recently I'm most thankful for Vim + YCM, GCC, Clang and Freeglut.

>>14504 seriously, it's cool to soykaf on windows these days but I'll bet the vast majority of people here would not be nearly as interested in computers if it wasn't for some version of windows they messed about with as a kid. also win 98 has the best boot sound in history. Probably just nostalgia on my part but it just takes you back to when a computer really was a magic box that could do anything. https://youtu.be/tajDxBaPBBM

>>14494 Thankful for the Linux kernel, and the GNU userspace, corelibs, and utils. I am also thankful for the x windows system, although I hope that I can replace you with wayland soon. >>14511 even more proof that gcc gets people laid.

GNU/Linux and free software. Seriously though, I'm really thankful for all FOSS projects, doing the lord's work. I wanna git gud enough at programming and start contributing too.

For Rockbox, which helped me to revive a box of six old dead iPods I found at a secondhand shop rockbox.org also many thanks to herbstluftwm for showing me a new side of manual tiling WMs, emacs for helping me finish Prog.102 finals in record time with a great grade and waste the rest of the alloted time playing snake, and nethack for when I got tired of playing emacs snake

Spacemacs for showing me that GUI can be cool and taking me out of console cowboying. Ardour for being great. I want a music player to be thanful of. And FOSS in general. All's good for programming, every FOSS program is a bunch of code you can learn from reading and changing it. >>14505 You can set your distro to play that sound on startup, or maybe a random one from all windows releases' startup sounds.
