Noxious

No one ever said that this was a complete list of all shitty countries in the world.

Not sure why so many people are downvoting

Countries I like in no particular order: Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, New Zealand

There are many open WriteFreely instances: https://writefreely.org/instances

Write.as is kinda the flagship instance

I used to prefer Plume because it’s written in Rust, but, well, it seems like it isn’t maintained right now, so WriteFreely is currently the better option

Frigate is pretty nice. If you need a simpler setup, go with Rpisurv, it’s made for a Raspberry Pi, and very easy to setup and use.

I don’t like the left-right political spectrum. It’s not particularly good for explaining a more complicated political stance (e.g. like yours or mine). I see centrists as those who don’t really have any opinion, not people who agree with some left-wing and some right-wing ideas. I would definitely describe myself as a leftist, because I agree with almost all basic leftist concepts, but there are other ones that I strongly disagree with. But I’m definitely nowhere near the political right wing, as even though I might agree with a few right-wing concepts, I absolutely despise of their fundamental ideas. But unfortunately I see various centrist parties in different countries that shift further and further to the right, because right-wing populists are gaining momentum and coming up with dumber and dumber, radical ideas.

That’s just my personal opinion, but centrists are often enablers of right-wing extremists/fascists. Since they don’t really have their own opinion and political stance, they just kinda take the average of the left and the right-wing. This starts to become a big problem, when the right suddenly radicalizes, and the centrists now also move further to the right.

Pixels are nice because of their hardware secure element and great Verified boot support, even with a custom OS. And those new Pixel 9’s are really fire 🔥

WriteFreely and Plume are based on ActivityPub and can be followed from the Fediverse (in addition to RSS of course)

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell my boss for the last 6 months…

Torvalds actually hates GitHub

I’d say Nix requires some experience, so if you are new to Linux, definitely go with Flatpak. I believe Flatpak also provides stronger sandboxing.
