Disappoint is a sober word here. I am actually pissed at the casual arrogance of Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical.

I'm actually baffled that this would come as a surprise to people. Canonical has been like this for a long time and you'd have to have blinders on to not see it. They are hell-bent on doing things their way and ignoring the wider Linux community and even their users. That is, of course, their prerogative and to some degree I even welcome their attempts at differentiating their distro from others. As a user though you should be aware of their history and the apparent direction they're heading.

I just wish they'd stop stalling and went all-in on snaps already, since that's pretty obviously where they're headed.

The last time I remember Firefox having serious memory leaks they called it Firebird. Guess I've been lucky. Or in a comfortable ignorant haze.

Derf Backder's Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio is a really good and thorough telling of that massacre in comic book form. I got emotional when the shooting started. Definitely recommended reading.

Oh hey, I remember that screen. I have seen it many times. Many, many times. Oh God, so many times.

Oh man, finally got around to watching it thanks to your recommendation and I was thoroughly entertained. Had a big dumb grin on my face through most of it. Thanks for that!

Back in the day when I was running Gentoo, in the long long ago, Firefox was one of the few things I installed as a binary, since compiling it took hours. Compiling it every time there was an update would have driven me crazy. From what I gather this is still true for most users. Yeah, go for the Flatpak if at all possible.

Super Mario Bros. I like the movie, but I can definitely see why people don't.

Dear Americans: Psychotic doesn't mean what you think it means. Stop using it please.

I'm going to be a bit cheeky and say Pulp by Charles Bukowski.

I hate that Tales of Maj'Eyal is my favorite Open Source game. I hate that a new expansion is coming out soon and I will instantly buy it and play it and hate myself. Check it out!

OpenTTD and Widelands are also pretty cool.
