My three operating system hills:

  • Windows peaked with 2000 (design-wise) and XP (functionality-wise)
  • macOS’ separation of the application vs window concepts β€” i.e. an app has exactly one menu bar and dock icon, and is expected to be able to stay open without any windows (without needing nonsense like tray icons) β€” is much better than anything else and it sucks nobody is copying it
  • Flatpak and everything related is atrocious architecture-wise in every single way and it’s a massive condemnation of Linux (desktop)’s compatibility state that it actually solves a real problem

I declare war on this hill!

  • Peak windows was Windows 7 in both design and Function. It was pinnacle User Experience of a traditional OS before Microsoft started chasing fads, (Touchscreens in Windows 8, Cloud integration in Windows 10, and now AI bullshit in Windows 11)
  • No opinion on macOS. My only complaint is that its not linux.
  • Instead of Flatpak I would replace that with AppImages. At least with Flatpak I get some semblance of the SW Integrating with my DE and a semblance of a package manager. AppImages I feel like are like rolling the dice on how much effort the dev put into it.

Han Solo shot first. Screw any of the remakes or special editions he was a pirate and was just protecting himself from an even more dangerous pirate.

People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).

There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.

Paid refers to money. Payed is a nautical term.

I'm a fat, unsexy dude, I bought a goofy leopard-print thong to get a laugh out of my ~~life~~ wife once

It's not my favorite pair of undies by a longshot, I still prefer my usual boxer-briefs, but it's certainly not uncomfortable. Even wore it to my city's naked bike ride to bike around in.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.

Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.

  1. The big hill in my neighborhood park.

  2. Capital Hill

I don't really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.
