Debian all the way.

I will be downvoted for this, but the whole focus on marginalized people at the cost of everyone else, and not allowing any reverse-ism debates pretty much sums up the site. A gian…

I hate to say this but I feel like Dev had a nice start but went downhill fast. Nearly all articles can be boiled down to “Look at this really basic thing, and follow me on A, B an…

I use a terminal app called newsboat to subscribe to blogs and youtube channels.
