I’ll think about it as soon as it’s available on F-Droid.

I thought maybe it was just my imagination that it’s been really slow since Wednesday, but you can see it clearly on the charts at the bottom of the page there.

We need to overcome those obstacles, otherwise we’ll get so soft and stupid and distracted by nonsense that we willingly opt for fascism.

Get yourself a good nicotine vape rig. The kind that has a big tank so it’ll last all day and you can use whichever flavoured vape liquid you like best. Switch to that 100% of the time, right away, no exceptions. Don’t worry about how to quit vaping until you’ve gone without smoking for at least a few months.

It’ll be hard, but not nearly as bad as it is if you try to quit both smoking and nicotine at the same time.

Ailing company? Cut it to pieces, that’ll probably fix it. I’d like the idea better if I could believe there’s a chance in hell they’d choose the right 30%.

Nonsense. Everyone knows that atomic power was given by the mighty hand of God.

Having apps that do what users want but try to hide it from reviewers really highlights the absurdity of letting Apple decide what software you’re allowed to run.

Cross-country skiing is fun! I think so, anyway. Take it easy, don’t expect to be super good at it right away, et cetera, but maybe try out whichever winter sports appeal to you. What everyone else said, but also don’t forget to go outside and enjoy yourself sometimes.

That rather understates the insult that the current behaviour is to Linux users. There was not a good reason for removing the option to have it work properly, which was available for many years. The reason given was entirely nonsensical. But no, they will not accept a PR. It was a contentious issue and opinions were hardened in the flame wars that followed.

Believing people who say that sort of thing about the meaning of perfectly cromulent words like “fish”, “bird”, and “berry” is like going to the butcher shop to learn about horsemanship.

One time, I accidentally said “pngtuber” in conversation with an elderly person. I decided to flee in embarrassment rather than try to explain what it meant.

Well, he’s not wrong that it’s “super hard” to see any benefit of Denuvo for anyone other than the beneficial owners of Denuvo Software Solutions. Gamers might have a better than average ability to suspend disbelief, but that “new study” was pushing it a bit far.

In 2015 we started migrating repositories from SVN to GitHub

I feel compelled to point out, for the benefit of anyone who might be reading this without knowing about such things, that Git is not the same thing as Github. You can (and should, especially if you’re a big-time tech company with the resources to host your own repo and some respect for free software) choose to have all the convenient features of Git without going anywhere near Microsoft-owned Github.

To be fair, this was not so obvious a choice in 2015 as it is now.

This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting “hug time” instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a “full English breakfast”? We’ll tell you all about it. There’s a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn’t that cute! Here’s a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

It’s like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

I had that problem when I used whatsapp five years ago. Amazing that they still haven’t fixed it.
