Rails, the whole ecosystem around it and Ruby. Webdev tooling in general.<p>The Linux/macos tools. Things like iterm, fzf, git.<p>Just scratching the surface here - I feel it’s brilliance and generosity all the way down. A lot to be grateful for.
I am more thankful for Free Software (preserving user freedoms) than for Open Source Software (free labour for corporations, screw users), but when it comes to OSS I suppose I am most thankful for SBCL.
uBlock Origin, hands down. Non-shitty, non-corporate adblocker that both works out of the box <i>and</i> offers great customization options? Amazing! UBlock Origin Lite is the best Manifest V3 compatible adblocker, and it's <i>okay</i> (when someone's sharing their screen on Zoom and I see how many ads there are, I'm surprised), but it's not as good.<p>I was debating between various other things (Firefox? Linux? LibreOffice? VLC media player?) but quite frankly I'm not as thankful for any of them.
