varjen,

It’s weird that people don’t get more upset about ads in an OS they paid for.

varjen,

I don’t you specifically. It was more in general.

varjen,

ISO 8601 is always the correct way to format dates.

varjen,

My impression of flatpak is that it was built by someone who doesn’t like or use a terminal.

varjen,

Yes please!

What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right?

Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen.
