I can't really think of a tech company that does not hate its users. Yes of course there's Framework, but I mean large tech companies. It's all glued shut, proprietary, planned obsolescence, AI slop-ified, privacy invasive an

What's the point of E2E on a chatroom/channel/"""server""" that anyone can join? Yes, I'm making (another) argument in favour of IRC. IRC has optional client-server encryption, and you can s

You don't become a mechanic without fixing broken down cars. So in that sense, the shittier the car, the better. My Linux story is similar. In retrospect I learned it on hard mode, because Gentoo was the first distro I used (as in real
