Summer is waning.
The need for blood is constant.
Our thirst grows daily.

Curse
---------
When I umasked the gods, they were not happy. That I recognized them as what they are: Petty thiefs, adulterers, murderers.
They cursed me to see. Because I was then so happy to know, I'd now see through everything, see every weave and pattern others wouldn't see. That would teach me.
And it taught me.
I am living at the fringes. Warning, always warning. Always the doomsayer. Seeing black where others see white. Seeing doom, where others see opportunity.
I am a stealer of opportunities, equally despised everywhere.
Nobody wants to hear. About climate change. About the fires to come. About the city being razed. About this wooden horse on the beach.

I have been thinking a bit, just now, why people who complain about the effort they have to put in --- to for example to self-host any service or to migrate to Linux --- annoy me so.
I think it's two factors.
One is totally my "fault" and that is that it works pretty well for me as it is and I am used to the "pain". My painless solution would also not look like anything the complainers would call painless (for example: "The command line, what horror")
The second is, that I fundamentally don't agree with the goal that "tech" (as they often call it) needs to be packaged in a friction-less way for the use to apply[1]. Because no friction means that you have the possibility to use it without having to learn anything.
Many people might argue that this is not necessarily a bad thing, but consider the following examples:
Reading is a very important cultural technique. You have to learn it to be able to exercise the power. There is no way around and it's part of the culture changing features of written language.
On the other side consider Windows, which is practically the epitome of "user doesn't need to know". What happens here is, that the power flowing from it mostly stays in other peoples hand (see the whole contemporary "it will update to Windows 11 and buy a new PC or it gets the hose again" experience makes apparent, but that's definitely not all).
So, if people complain about nerds, Linux bros or Foss bros --- usually without any evidence what actually happened, they are just venting their (hurt ....?) feelings --- that's to me typically a cause for blocking them without any interaction. We are so fundamentally different in outlook, that any contact won't make sense.
I want to be be empowered by being free from obvious / non-replaceable dependencies from big corporations.
They want to be free from having to deal with Linux/FOSS when using it.
There is no common ground.
I am bit more tolerant with people boosting these complaints, but since this typically means they are agreeing, if they do this a lot, they will be unfollowed. I just feel offended by baseless moaning about bro-ness in my timeline and this is a very clean way to get rid of it.
[1] I call this software suppositories for obvious reasons ...
