FOSS appreciation post: As a Person Who Uses Linux for personal computing, it is pretty furiously triggering when I'm required to use non Linux devices to Do Things. For example when my kid needs adobe for their college classes, or when I want to simply *play an mkv file* on my MacBook at work. To most people in my life I'm an irascible crank about it, just for wanting things to, I dunno, be easy and under my control. Margaret Killjoy this week: "Computers used to make us more free but now they make us less free" seemed wrong to me until I considered how it feels to step outside Linux world.
