I miss Adium, I used it for a bunch of protocols, and I customized the CSS/html to make it look really awesome.

I had an app called snakeskin or something to skin my Mac OS X to be dark themed.

Wow, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

Adium was awesome, that was the golden age of computing and the internet in my opinion.

With Linux and other FOSS projects surging in popularity, I dare say we’re in for another.

But, sadly, companies don’t seem too interested in making good software for that sake of it being good anymore. Now it’s all about getting you hooked on an eternal subscription.

I certainly hope so. It’s been great seeing PopOS and Linux Mint pushing the bar on what a good linux desktop experience can be.

I’d love to see Linux become a stronger competitor to macos (which is what I’ve used for almost 20 years).

Absolutely adore PopOS. I can’t wait for cosmic to be finished!
