I love this sort of thing:

Notes on Personal Computing

It can feel a bit as though I've "given in" for not wanting to build/customize its foundation, but I'm lazily fine with whatever Linux a modern Chromebook provides. I mean, I'm sure I'm forgetting things I've installed therein that I'm not remembering regularly leaning on in this moment, but within that minimal environment do I feel I need nothing more than vim and Lua to be happy and/or productive.

Just wanted to mention that I read your notes there and found them interesting, and largely aligned with how I feel about computers too.

I'm slowly losing patience with Firefox, I genuinely think they now exist just to keep Google out of the monopoly spotlight. They track you, overpay their CEOs and are not loyal to either their core devs nor their main fanbase.

My current browser is still Firefox, but I've been experimenting with ungoogled-chromium and even considering Brave. On my mobile I already use bromite as my default, and it's improved general useability
