"Eventually, everything becomes a crab"

Carcinization is an example of a phenomenon called convergent evolution, which is when different groups independently evolve the same traits. It's the same reason both bats and birds have wings. But intriguingly, the crab-like body plan has emerged many times among very closely related animals.

It seems to apply to social networks as well 😀

EndeavourOS is an Arch based distro only a lot easier to use...pretty happy with it. I have it down to that or Debian.

I have no official measurements but when I stop in occasionally, I notice it's much more responsive than it used to be :)

That's the camel's nose in the tent, eventually you wind up with an Edward Snowden type situation:

They can do their own in house testing and let that be good enough. As you say though, I don't use RHEL derivatives since they killed Centos.

I never heard of spez until this debacle...now that I have a face to go with all the scummy corporate behavior, I'm absolutely out of there...I see his face every time I go there now and it skeeves me out :P

"You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?"
