I've seen some things; is there such a thing as computer related PTSD? Transitioning to "just a user".

I love that feeling you get when you finish tuning your Linux desktop box with everything optimized and "just so" and nothing left to mess with or install. Colours, wallpaper, apps, hardware acceleration, menus, widgets/plasmoids, filesystems backed up, etc.
Oh, that's just me?
Never mind. Carry on.

All our systems hosted at Linode are suspended at the moment due to some billing issue, including gitlab. We are working with them to get it resolved.

in practice i think it does not really concern #AlpineLinux
the intent of this law is clearly to go after operating systems with app stores

It concerns #AlpineLinux the same as it concerns every other Linux-based operating system that has a package management utility that talks to a public WWW site.
As I said at https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116156019252249071 and as @RunxiYu has also said, the statute as written covers all such systems. (It's an Act now, by the way, not a Bill.) Alpine Linux has a covered application store.
Here, for example, is what 'publicly available internet website' apk as the 'software application' uses to 'facilitate the download' of the third-party rustc 'application' from the 'store' in Alpine Linux on the aforementioned #mainframes used by the aforementioned naughty 16-year-olds in #California:
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.23/main/s390x/
Yes, #CaliforniaLaw as written is this expansive. Yes, the legislators did not even consider how the BSDs and Linux-based operating systems work. None of the objectors apparently even mentioned how these work.

One full week under the keel running Alpine Linux on my primary workstation. Even set root on a ZFS mirror - simple to setup. First experience with rEFInd as well - I like it.
Sharp and snappy, just like the way I like my cars! Ha!
No new revelations compared to the first few weeks on the test workstation... I'm still tweaking some things for personalization as it happens but all good.
The Alpine repos are full of good stuff and are current/up2date in a practical manner.
The only flatpaks I've had to run are Waterfox, Signal Desktop and messing around with the new CoMaps Linux version (this exists - happy! happy! joy! joy!).
I'm going to migrate my Debian Bookworm servers to Alpine when I get around to the upgrades. I'll keep clients on Debian for the foreseeable future.
I'm not sure why I'm so excited about Alpine, it just feels like a breathe of fresh air! Modern and simple. Enjoying it.
