GNU nano.

I don’t know why I bothered using Vim, Neovim, Micro, mg, and JOE for so long, when nano was always there (though not necessarily OOTB), configurable with all of the features I used in the other editors, and has never broken as long as I’ve been using it.

The only editor I may leave it for would be Emacs, and that would be more for the extension scripts and an excuse to learn ELisp than anything else.

Hey, pick the gay back up. It’s LGBTQ+ Wrath Month now.

Welcome to autism, more like.

Geese are cute

I’ve also found that using OpenVPN instead of WireGuard Just Works™.

IVPN, probably.

Markus Allard initiated heavy debate in 2025 by claiming that Sweden is “the land for/belongs to the Swedes” and that the Örebro party favors a large scale remigration policy. He also criticized the Sweden Democrats for, according to him, allowing too many immigrants into the country under their watch as confidence and supply to the Kristersson cabinet.

In 2026 ÖP party leader Markus Allard sparked controversy on several occasions. In a debate hosted by Studio3 with Liberal member of parliament Martin Melin, Allard asked: “why won’t the Liberals push for deporting 100 000 social welfare-Somalis?” and in the same debate said that “Sweden belongs to the Swedes. We have to make sure that we take care of our own damn people and we must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense.”

In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that “They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish.”

It is good to consider this, but Örebropartiet are quite racist.

Took the words right out of my keyboard

I haven’t run Arch in a few months, but I used to use CachyOS and Artix.

In the case of CachyOS, the repos have a few packages from the AUR pre-compiled, and linux-cachyos-hardened is a fantastic kernel flavour.

Artix, meanwhile, lets me use runit instead of systemd.

I also like the idea of Linux-libre, for which I would probably use Hyperbola (if not Guix). However, the only machine I own with a compatible WiFi chipset is a 32-bit MacBook from the 2000s, which I haven’t seen since 2024.

The preconfigured desktop and software is irrelevant to me. I have my own DE recipes and workflows that I can replicate across most Linux distros and BSDs.

Skill issue

Excellent timing! I just set up my aggregator today. It’s mostly just news, though.

Clients I use:

• Read You (Android)
• NewsBoat
• sfeed (not yet installed; I may write my own wrapper or helper script to use a GReader or Fever API, assuming I get my VPS back up)

Not my best pour, and I bought the wrong Monster, but I did it!

Tastes pretty gross at first, but it gets better!

Just about the only thing a Chromebook is good for, tbh

Do you add the Guinness or the Monster first?

You never know. Societies both real and ficticious can often get along just fine with some seemingly obvious gaps in their knowledge.

Many cultures have no concept of zero, and many have no concept of left and right (direction is absolute, so north, east, south, west, etc.).

As for fiction, take Steven Universe. The Diamond Authority managed to exist for millennia and conquer numerous planets without ever inventing the wheel, instead using flight, teleportation (via warp pads), and palanquins (which have legs).

You could try Chawan. That’s quite good.

You also have the usual selection of Links2 (text mode), Lynx, and w3m; but most modern websites will not work very well (if at all).
