@tbernard Thanks for your reply.

These days, I work heavily in the terminal and have customized it extensively—ironically using fish. I also self-host. And… 🫣

All the things you wrote about years ago 🤣

I’ll take a look at GNOME OS.

@tbernard

Years ago you wrote the post “Doing Things That Scale” [1]. I also read it years ago and still ended up falling into the customization trap.
Does what you wrote back then still hold true for you today? Or have you gained new insights since then?

This powerful piece by Topsy is located right outside the Swedish Medical Center (First Hill Campus) in Seattle, Washington. You can see the hospital's distinctive blue and white cross logo on the building in the background!

Street art by Topsy (topsy_paints) in Seattle, USA, painted on the corner of a gray building wall: a nurse/doctor in bright blue scrubs with a stethoscope leans down to lift a kneeling Lady Justice in a white robe, her eyes covered with a gold blindfold, holding a sword while the scales of justice hang at her side; the wider photo shows the mural in its urban setting with sidewalk, trees, and street in the background.

Tschüss lieber #39c3 👋🏻

A small comic drawing. It represents two houses, and a text.
The house on the left with a hole in its roof on a rainy day, and the character, apparently an anthropomorphic dog, can be seen through the window on the ground floor.
On the right, the same house with its hole but it's sunny outside and the character is seen hopping through the roof's hole and watches the sun.
At the bottom, there is the following text:
« Haggis has a hole in his roof. He never fixed it because on rainy days it is too wet to work. And on sunny days it doesn’t need fixing. »

@fabian Hallo liebe Mitreisenden 👋🏻

On my way to #39c3.

The XKCD All Modern Tech Infrastructure stack but modified.

On top of the modifications in the original post, there is an angry bird (Red) flying towards the tower. It takes the place of the Microsoft blob (but is still labelled "Whatever Microsoft is doing)

The remaining modifications from the original post are: 

AWS and Cloudflare hold up the left side of the stack with a medium sized platform.
Unpaid Open Source Developers hold up the right side of the stack on a tiny pillar. DNS forms two tiny pillars on either side of the stack holding up the majority.
Below them the Linux Foundation forms an entire platform holding up the entire stack.
Below that is a tiny thin pillar as the basis of everything, it represents the undersea internet cables, it is being bitten by a shark.
At about the middle of the stack a giant lever is being turned slowly pushing the entire tower over, it's labelled AI.

No technology deserves your loyalty. The idea is silly on its face. Technology choices very easily become just another way to build exclusive tribes—yes, even open technology. Resist that urge.
