My assumption with most of my 1→many blogs/FOSS posts is that they do not recv too many pending 3rd party contributions. However if+when I stop being a vamp-in-my-hell, I'll likely recv many contribs, and have2check before working on my own changes. "Rich man’s problems", heh.

Dealing with gchromium/etc. enforcement of TLS/HTTPS has been a logistical hassle for many devs. Facebook chat's end2end encryption has ruined my facebook-purple/pidgin UX. I'm not sure these were/are security/"privacy"'s weakest links. shlomifish.org/philosophy/phi…

My Fedora (GNU/Linux) 42 x86-64 system boots up in a few seconds. It takes my Nokia Android phone tens of seconds. It makes me both happy and disappointed. shlomifish.org/philosophy/com…
