7 year old has written a wish list for Christmas already. It includes "a non laggy PC", "a mouse (not the pet kind)" and "anything I imagine comes true and I can enable and disable it".

My 4 year old has asked to stop aging and in fact he would like to be younger.

Glad to be raising ambitious kids.

@freemo Is there any kind of “status” page for qoto.org that is independent of the mastodon instance? Or somewhere that lists known issues?

I’m experiencing significantly degraded performance and I feel like it would be good to have a place to go to find out if this is scheduled maintenance, a DDoS attack, or something else.

@freemo That is actually a myth. I have played a lot of Minecraft recently and the actual rule is that if you fall into water you won’t be hurt at all, no matter how shallow the water.

If you are working at high heights, it is best to keep a bucket of water on you in case you fall.

Hmm.. So #fedora also ships a crippled thing that is not #python when you dnf install python3.

I was hoping that that was a reasonable alternative to Debian/Ubuntu ☹
