Maybe we genuinely should start. It seems like it burns a lot of folks.

Some vendors have lousy Linux support.

But then, MacOS on Dell hardware, and Windows on MacBook also both require extensive CLI. iOS on Samsung gets pretty weird.

Lemmy and Mastodon share content, now.

This new nerd Internet is weird, but it’s weird in cool ways.

That’s metal as fuck. Rock on.
