Just watched the latest episode of The Orville (S02E07-Deflectors.) It was good. They're doing "Star Trek" better than Star Trek is.
Especially considering how messed up Star Trek is now. https://invidio.us/watch?v=ojtX_Oz4WsU
Build the peach! Build the peach!
I'm unveiling a new APT repo for Linux-libre, called libeRTy: https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/liberty.en.html
It contains .debs of Linux-libre compiled with the PREEMPT_RT patch for those that need a realtime kernel but also want freedom. Hence libeRTy. Get it? :)
Oh ouch ouch ouch.
I was eating the ice cream too fast.
Brain freeze.
It feels like a knife stabbing in my head.
Please remain seated until the compiler has come to a complete stop.
Trump is a mean old troll, and we feed him too much.

Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
I gave the boy cat some catnip. He's rolling around in it on the floor. It's like he's saying "OMG I'm *sooooooo* high"

There are many evangelists for open source but not that many for software freedom. We're now in a time where the software freedom issues are really becoming obvious to the average person although they may not be consciously aware of them and may just think that their software is always bad and trying to trick them in one way or another or is doing things they don't want or havn't consented to.
Aw. Thank you, spider! And yours as well.
The cat meows, I meow back. This repeats until he eventually walks over and wants to me to pet him.
Sometimes the boy cat will wander into my bedroom when no one's in there and start meowing loudly. I'm not sure what's up with that. My roommate says he's summoning satanic cat spirits. Sounds about right.
I can smell the Apple pie cooking in the oven.
Merry Grav-Mass everyone! Remember: Gravitation is a well-established scientific theory, but Intelligent Falling is just religion pretending to be science.

For all LGTBQI+ people out there: if during this holidays you are feeling badly (because of family, mental health, whatever), my DM's are open.
I don't have to attend any family meetings or anything, so I'm online whenever you need me (GMT although my sleep schedule is flexible).
Boost please!
It seems impossible to use super glue without getting some of it on you.
Is it just me or does it look like the gnu is flying a space banana? https://www.gnu.org/
