Now, if you are like me, you hear the words “open source” and “decentralized” and then the word “CEO” and think, wait, why does the decentralized open standard have a CEO? The whole point is that no single person or company is in charge, right? Well, welcome to the wild world of open-source governance. It’s a riot, my friends.

Humans have proven that they aren't mentally ready for an internet saturated post-truth world. Arguably, some aren't even ready for cable news in a post-truth world.

I switched (back) to Fedora. I was distro hopping, but I always come back to Fedora. :)

Edit: I switched distros and everything's working fine. :P

For some reason, I can't get my Nvidia proprietary driver to work on Wayland. It automatically switches to software rendering whenever I enable Wayland. It works perfectly on Xorg.

The one I like most is Mailbox.org. Great domain name for email. Three aliases with the basic account. Offers more privacy than the bigguns. Not a lot of storage, though. Not free, but works out to about $1 a month depending on the current exchange rate (USD vs. EUR).

Gets a big "meh" from me.
