Yesterday I made an appreciation post. This morning it was gone. Not sure if snac decided to do a thing on its own or if I accidentally pressed the delete post button when trying to turn off the alarm on my phone this morning or whatever, but here it is again, slightly expanded and modified. No “AI” was used in the crafting of this message:

Finally Friday! Well, now Saturday!

I’ve been boosting and posting some negative content lately, and I really don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, so I’ve decided to focus more on stuff I like. So here it goes:

I really really like #OpenBSD, #Slackware and #9front. They do what I want from them, never complain and never break on me. If they break, I can easily find information on how to fix them, or a member of the community will come to my aid.

I really like #herbstluftwm. Cool sounding name, easy to customize and handles my windows really well. What more could I ask for in a window manager?

I really like #zathura. Easy to customize and blends well with my color themes.

I really like #mpv. It does what it’s supposed to do.

I also really like #anonradio and #hackerpublicradio (#hpr). Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Also, @[email protected] : Thanks for constant content.

An honorable mention to #wife, #kids, and #cat. I enjoy your company.
