mccI like my Linux laptop that crashes once or twice a day. I like my Mastodon account where you can't really talk to anyone about anything but webdev or Rust. I like my Lenovo tablet that sometimes switches into Japanese for no reason. I like my Steam Deck that needs unique settings fiddling per game. I'm willing to put up with some friction & frustration from my computers & software. But what I can't ~abide~, and will twist my life into pretzels to avoid from my computers & software, is *malice*.
zrb@mcc my friends all wonder why I was willing to put up with the relentless fiddling to get games to run all these years (it's much better now, thanks Valve!)
The reason is because it was only when I had set up a daily driver that wasn't Windows, that I felt like I truly owned my computer. I was no longer fighting the OS to do what I wanted; I finally had the freedom to make it my own.
