So much so, so naturally so, that you brought it up so, makes me wonder about what strife witnessed.

Hrmm… How far back can I roll this? Can I get my money back for the windoze-tax on machines I bought in the winXP era? :D

So the situation [there] is:

• free software’s principles are preserved for users of free software based operating system,

• but if you use a proprietary operating system, you have to report your age to the pedovores… ? ? ? !

How rusty must the nail under them get before they move away? User lock-in got them trapped tight?

How long before we cease feeding the dragon tyrant?

come to devuan

come to antix

Glad to upvote that. lol

Humans can eat it too. Remarkable nutrient profile, high in protein, omega3 and b12, for a plant. Probably best to cook and drain out as much of the oxalates as possible though. I’m getting notions of duckweed & cottage cheese.

I’ve been meaning to do [something like] this for a while. Bought the stuff… yet to get around to it. Maybe seeing this shall inspire making a start. Thanks. :)

Looking forward to updates in a little while, on how it’s going.

Which of the at least 4 places you posted this do you want replied to? n_n

… Actually, I got nuthin. No distro-specific problems at all are standing out to me as worth mentioning.

Well, the expression does come from an age where it was more commonplace that the artisan, the workman, the technician, would be making their own tools. Takes on new poetic meaning, in this age and economy.

“A poor workman blames his tools”

this is fine, in that first glance, and then you think about it for a moment…

so much more going on in the maths, in what’s presented, and beyond,

utterly confounding the point it sets out to make.

studies show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software

&

burning out sooner,

suffocating high pace churn,

debugging bad code.

I am so glad I switched.

Better to face the horror.

If ignorance is bliss, give me agony.

19 years ago.

Just remembered this piece, answering a similar question, “what woke you up?”

I didn’t leave normal.

Normal had already left me.

Leaving me rendered a radical.

Radically in favour of [me, and ideally, each and all] saving, freeing, provisioning each and all, so we can go on exploring space, both inner and outer, together, forever, in peace.

Every NewNormal™, moved the “normal” goalposts further from this simple principle of the best for each and all.

Now it seems radical to suggest catching up to our lost couple centuries, provisioning each and all with free energy, and all the other suppressed emancipatory technologies as much as they want.

Yeah, depends.

How much do you load on your workhorse and how fast do you need it to run?

Intentional trolling by abusing cunningham’s law?

magnets and copper wire?

and a slip ring.

and maybe a sand battery?

or maybe a corkscrew to lift water, as a secondary store of power potential, that could then be toggled on to flow in low wind to keep a turbine going.
