I honestly believe most systems are designed to work in theory. Shitty/greedy people are always the problem though.

The intersection is AIPAC

Part of growing up dirt-poor is making use of any hardware possible. I excel so much at that skill now thanks to all the open source projects out there (the WM, DEs, distributions, TUIs, …). I can really squeeze a lot from a tiny host & having this mentality as a dev now is some times appreciated 😄.

should check existing options first:

• Briar
• Simplex
• Tox
• Matrix and elements as frontend
• xmpp

How much did you donate to open source projects you use so far? you know life isn’t free

and doubling down by arresting any peaceful protesters opposing the genocide

You don’t have to agree with everything, but there’s a lot of truth in this diagram. Both are serving AIPAC, both don’t care about woking class, both want to collapse the US with infinite military spending,…

Andy: I am sorry I was caught

I totally agree.

I hate to admit I didn’t want anything to do with systemd because it took me forever to get somewhat familiar with some other mainstream init systems.

Then, I didn’t care for a while until I developed software that had to keep running using some sort of init system. The obvious choice was whatever the default I had (systemd) and I fell in love with the convenience of systemd (templates, timers, …). I started shipping sample systemd with the things I provide & yes, you are on your own if you use something else.
