Yous in Scotland is great to wind up Proper English speakers. If they whinge they get a y’all

Great to see OpenAPI being even more embraced. It truly is fantastic for multi-team engineering

The Dune universe lacks computers, which is why spice is so valuable - does that count? Still has plenty of machines, but they aren’t the story

Looks ready for actual use now, rather than tinkering with. Package management was my biggest gripe (URLs are literally what it used before). I would like to see TS as the first class citizen however, with JS being deprecated essentially.

Reads as the sun, but it isn’t explicit

Nah, just back to Gopher and 5k baud. As an aside: Gemini is pretty awesome

What would you replace it with? There are lessons to be learnt from the web, but to “fix” it is much harder

openSUSE worth a consideration. More frequent releases than debian, but still pretty conservative

Did you bite the bullet and go and print something the next day?

This deserves an hour of reading. My first pass is a criticism too sadly. Addition is too trivial, and every example is pure - this needs a rubber meets the road example to really spell out the benefits.
