Fandom sucks. Here are two tools you will find useful:

• Indie Wiki Buddy - This automatically redirects you away from Fandom and to an external wiki (e.g. Minecraft Wiki, Tardis Wiki, etc.)
• Breezewiki - This is a private and sans-bullshit frontend for Fandom, written in Racket and created by Cadence Ember (they are also the creator of CloudTube, Bibliogram, and the YouTube Annotation Archive, among other contributions). Indie Wiki Buddy can redirect to Breezewiki if an indie equivalent doesn’t exist.

You laugh now, but when they figure out they have to hold them forwards it’s over. /j

Remember when your car wasn’t also a PC?

This meme gets decidedly more evil every time I see it.

Tox is interesting, though potentially less secure than Briar as they rolled their own encryption and have not been audited (afaik).

Or glue. Glue would be hilarious.

Where is this? Asking for a friend.

(Actually, though, where is it?)

I was watching Jam the other day, and that honestly seemed better and more rational than reality. South Park has been a documentary for a long time.

Yeetus foetus

GuixSD wasn’t an option on Tiermaker, but I have used it. I personally found it hardier than NixOS, but the libre-only package selection was quite restrictive and the lack of the non-free iwlwifi driver prevented me from installing it on any of my boxes other than my 2007 MacBook. I know this is the point, but it’s still annoying.

Like 9front and Haiku, I hope to daily-drive it someday; but at the moment it is sadly quite unsuitable for my hardware, workflow, and use-case.

For me, it’s the combination of its American base, its lack of disk encryption in the installer, the fact that I’ve never managed to get a usable installation, and the fact that Mageia (another Mandriva derivative) and Salix (a Slackware-based distro with a similar UX) are objectively better.

If you are happy with PCLOS, however, godspeed.

I used to run it on my Raspberry Pi 5 without complaint.

Some stuff did take a while to compile, but the trick is to do other things — like make some tea, go for a walk, or watch TV — instead of staring at the terminal the whole time (I am 100% serious; this is not sarcasm).

Idk, autism?

I want to like NixOS. I love the idea of declarative system configuration, but I always found NixOS quite easy to break. It also didn’t seem to like Eduroam much.

Well, I began in 2019, but I distrohopped a lot.

Here’s mine:

• Note 1: This tierlist only includes distros I’ve tried.
• Note 2: Slackware would rank higher now; I made this about month ago.
• Note 3: The “noob” tier doesn’t mean the distro is bad. If it weren’t there, Mint would rank higher.

The beginning‽ They’ve been up to shit like this for years!
