As many of my long-time readers may know, there is one big tech company I am not too fond of more than all (not a big fan of any of them, really). That company is, of course, Microsoft. This article won’t be about what Microsoft did to deserve that title; you can read about that…
There are a number of apps that are holdouts that are refusing to update to M1 even after solutions have basically been given to them. The worst of those apps are ones that use Electron, as Electron is slow on its own, and is somewhat as slow as running Google Chrome through x86. Today, I’ll…
So I don’t know how many of my fans follow the RSS feed and don’t join the Discord server. There’s actually no way of knowing. I can however tell from my analytical data that there is a returning audience. So, I’ve decided to write this article for all the people who either don’t pay attention…
I’ve written previously about playing Minecraft on the M1 Mac, but now I am continuing that series by showing you how to play Minecraft on Arm Windows.

That being said, you probably should have several years of Java coding under your belt before you attempt this. The Spigot…
Mojang changed the internals of the game a lot in 1.17. The most important internal change they made was that they switched the minimum required Java version to Java 16. However, because they did that, the strategy for optimizing Minecraft for M1 also changed. This tutorial will show you how to optimize Minecraft 1.17 or…
So? You’ve decided to go Open Source and you need to decide what desktop environment to go with. Well, the fact of the matter is that nothing is golden, at least for most people. Every DE has its Pros and Cons, and that’s what I’ll be discussing in this article. I will list out some…
I’ve talked before about the various problems with binary package management systems. I have praised BSD’s Ports, where a source code tree allows you to install packages from source with all their dependencies. However, I’ve never seen a binary package manager that creates more of a security problem having it than not having it. That…
You can find many charts online about writing in the Vim editor on Linux or any other OS, but none of them are straightforward. (Many just have charts, which are still useful, just not for beginning users. I encourage you to read this later if you want to know more: https://bsd.org/viref.html) This tutorial will show…
