   Personally, I would like an Amazon-only version of the store. I don't want to deal with third parties.

    I will forever be grateful for Bram's contribution to the world of free software and to humanity. I hope he will be remembered for a long time.

    I stopped at a dispensary while visiting Illinois and they were only accepting cash there. I assumed that the banking and taxes were the reason why.

    Joey Hess. The first time I heard his name, it was an article for Linux Journal, which was about managing your home directory in CVS. He went up to create Git-Annex, which I understand works well.

    Thanks to Reddit, I now use the Reddit mobile site instead of Apollo. It sucks in comparison.

    When a new MacOS release comes out, one of the first things I look for is adds and changes to the command line tools. Sadly they are not the things that most people care about on a new release.

    I'm not saying that I think this should be the default, as I know many people love it, but I would like the option to buy a Thinkpad without the TrackPoint. I am just not a fan of it.

    I pretty much love all of the free-unix but dislike them for graphical use. I have generally stuck with Windows or MacOS for general desktop usage. I've considered a combination setup of a terminal system for my unix needs and a tablet
