  • I’m one of these people. I’m 40 yo.

    The reason is simple: they’re the ones I like the most given the constraints.

    First: There are plenty of online radios, but radios on the FM frequencies not so many, so the choice is limited. At home I wouldn’t pick them.

    Second: I must choose between either rock radio stations, modern pop music which I loathe - I do enjoy modern indie music, but that’s not what they play on the radio - or news / talk channels.

    Therefore, my pick is clear whenever limited by the choices. I like rock music, I know it’s going to be a loop of like 40 songs, but at least it doesn’t suck and it’s not reminding me of the sad status of world affairs.

    Edit: I’m European btw, so my guess is that rock music radios aren’t playing rancid country nostalgia as american ones? I honestly don’t know. The ones I listen to are pretty decent



  • Pioneers. They built something great in a time where there was nothing. We were lucky that Linus wrote his kernel and other volunteers started packaging the distros, but they had the right vision at the right time.

    I don’t think GNU is the core/biggest component of modern free software stacks anymore, but that doesn’t matter. They deserve the credit and they are one of the good guys. Always on my team.
