There it is, a fresh #GNU Mes #scheme #interpreter work blog post.

This time giving more answers than questions.

Long term work is hard, dudes.

So I got a #Windows laptop from my employer (a university). I rarely use it though, as I prefer working with my own hardware.

Haven't used Windows in quite a while. My daily work horse runs #macOS and I have some #GNU/ #Linux experience.

Today I tried to install #updates on the Windows machine. I am absolutely amazed to see they still haven't figured out how to do this in 2026: The screen flickers and changes resolution, updates stop downloading at 99%, the computer freezes …

Wow, just wow. 🤭

I see that Firefox stable is now available in Mozilla's .rpm repository.

I'm glad Mozilla cares a bit more about Linux now. I wish that Thunderbird could get the same treatment as well. Thunderbird may not be as popular as Firefox, but having a mail client that also supports RSS, Usenet, CardDAV, CalDAV, tasks and multiple chat protocols like IRC, XMPP and Matrix, all in one is a blessing and it should have at least .deb and .rpm packages build by Mozilla themselves.

The Flatpak exists I guess, but Thunderbird for Desktop is, at its core, another Gecko-based browser, meaning that its sandbox is weakened without access to unprivileged user namespaces, so it's not ideal.
