   i'd just like to interject for a moment.. i wonder how long it is going to take for people to realize the importance of libre software. sure, strong copyleft can be inconvenient for developers, but that inconvenience must be borne to e

   good luck? with that attitude you deserve shitty centralized systems that spy on you. decentralization and ease of use aren't contradictory anyway. remember bit torrent? used to be very popular, even among less technical users. great U

   evernote has been my go-to for journaling and note taking for the last five years or so, but i have been keeping notebooks for ages. they are where i keep my thoughts. random ideas, stream of consciousness, stories, poems, quotes, outlines,

   i don't like the scheme described in the article, but i do think that X.Y.Z is overkill. X.Y provides plenty of information and doesn't make me second guess if i should upgrade or not. Z often creates a false sense of confidence t

    [citation needed] you are positing something that you have no proof of. what we do know is that the war on drugs is damaging to society. we also know that decriminalization worked for Portugal. where is your proof? i want to be free. i do

    so, based on your suspicion you get to decide what substances I may ingest during my personal time? addiction can ruin lives, but the war on drugs only makes it worse for drug users. addicts need help, not punishment. you may or may not a

    make a distro, call it gnu/linux, problem solved.

    userspace is really easy to swap out. linux is the actual important part. what is gnu without linux? nothing. i can use suckless coreutils, llvm, and musl and still have a functional linux system. i don't need gnu for anything.

    yeah, okay. --- No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. G

    yes, but it can, and if people want it to, it should. besides, why wouldn't you want it to be a business? businesses make money, which can pay for development of new features and better support for users. sounds like a win to me.

    too much work. changing my default search engine to ddg is faster and easier. i don't even know all of the bang commands! if i followed your advice i would have a significantly inferior experience.

    this is why DDG is my default search engine. I use !g a lot because the native search is only okay at best, but there are so many handy !bang shortcuts that I can't walk away. !emoji !dict !w !gi

    i have plans, but limited time. the base system is starting to come together, but i need to do a couple more iterations before i'll be willing to move on. i should probably do some write-ups while i'm working on the stuff. base is
