i mean i wasnt glued to whatsapp the entire time. but like, my understanding of the social contract around setting an appointment time is that saying "i'm free any time tomorrow" is yielding control of the appointment time to the other party. saying "what time is good for you?" is returning the ball back to me. ok. a little impolite to try and outpolite me imo. it's like saying "after you" when i'm already holding the door open for you. i offer a time and two hours later they say no let's do 2 pm. like just take my politeness! it's social lubricant! theyre de-lubricating my social encounter!

I didn't even think about the kernel maintainer story when I jotted that down. I can see how the subtitle would give that impression and maybe keep people from reading.

At first, the subtitle made me think this was going to be about the Russian Linux maintainers controversy, but then it got super relatable. I did dual boot Windows and Linux, only to later wipe the Windows partition, and I bought a new phone to put Graphene OS on, and I deleted all of my social media. I'm not a proselytizer anymore, unless someone specifically asks me about Linux.
