Things that matter to me start with the letter O: Outdoors. Open source. Outer space.

I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:

The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.

The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.

AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

On this last day of 2022, I like to think about what's important to me in 2023. To bring my life into greater alignment with minimalist ideals, with a greater focus on health, nutrition, and fitness, and to read more good books. Take care of myself a little more, worry about others a little less. To do things because they're right, not because they're expected. To discover new things and new and better ways of doing things, and to reconsider my own biases along the way. To continue to grow.
Eating dry popcorn and drinking white wine while watching critically acclaimed films on Netflix with my better half is how I've been spending this week.
Well, I gave Windows 11 its due, and after a few months, I'm back to Manjaro, this time with KDE plasma. It's so much better for so many reasons, they cannot fit within one toot.

Carol of the bells a popular Christmas carol,
with music by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovyc in 1914.
The song is based on the Ukrainian folk chant "Shchedryk".
