What Do I Use Revisited, Revisited

June 20, 2025

After last week’s series of post, I decided to revisit a post from 6 years ago, which in itself revisiting a post from 19 years ago called What Do I Use? which listed some of the software I used on a daily basis.

And, guess what? It is still pretty much the same software.
