  • Had to deal with an owl stuck in a chimney once, got a bit of advice from a chimney sweep: “Bash against the chimney to make as much noise as possible, that usually gets them to leave”. Went ahead and tried it, gave the chimney a good bashing, out went the (albeit a bit soot stained) owl, sat on the rim of chimney for a bit, giving off intense stares of disapproval, and finally flew off.




  • Your mileage may vary, but it’s still possible to install some distros without those nonsensical containerised “package managers”, or to at least remove them after installation. It unfortunately takes an increasing amount of effort, especially in distros that are actively trying to push their flavour of containerised package manager. (Totally not looking at Ubuntu and Snap)

    What is working in our favour here is the fragmentation, which will prevent, or at least slow down a too widespread adoption of those systems.



  • I prefer quality over quantity. Spammers, advertisers, “influencers”, brainless users consumers who can’t tell the difference between an “app” and a website, and other “mainstream” phenomena can stay in their corporate internet cesspits. Their absence alone makes a platform a lot more pleasant to use.
