I like my Linux laptop that crashes once or twice a day. I like my Mastodon account where you can't really talk to anyone about anything but webdev or Rust. I like my Lenovo tablet that sometimes switches into Japanese for no reason. I like my Steam Deck that needs unique settings fiddling per game.

I'm willing to put up with some friction and frustration from my computers and software. But what I can't ~abide~, and will twist my life into pretzels to avoid sensing from my computers and software, is *malice*.

I'm finally coming back around to this. When I became a computer toucher for money, I lost patience with having a little friction in my personal computing, but lately the major platforms have been so nakedly contemptuous that I am eager to return to something that's a little janky but actually mine.
