 absolutely fucking cooked

i bought some amazon streaming device, and once i realised the nature of connectivity for ios devices had to return it instantly. So tiresome. 

the ux that awaits us in the land of open networks is so fucking glorious

 Can't get it to work when running ProtonVPN (even if both devices are on the same VPN server)

 I just spent the last hour debugging a Linux user / permissions problem.

On the one hand, maybe I wouldn't have to deal with this on a closed system.

On the other, as soon as I finished, I was so grateful for Linux. I was grateful for the fact that I know that there is nothing in this computer that I can't change or need permission to access or edit.

Where would we be without Linux? It's really the base we are all working on.

Love open. Love Linux.
