  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat

vi, lynx, mutt, and of course X11 > wayland

though also controversially, I'll take systemD over sysVinit

My distaste for systemd has been replaced by my distaste for netplan.

[–] HrBingR@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I quite like systemd and netplan. Though the latter I can live without.
