There's Always a Way to Improve
Self-improvement is a perpetual task or an endless process
THIS site has been very active this year (next year we expect it to be more so because efficiency keeps increasing). I didn't know it was even possible to produce stories at such a high pace, but as it turns out, it's feasible and personal life does not stop either. Going out and about gives more topics/ideas. Our output this year must have been very effective because 3 Microsoft-connected idiots have attempted to silence us (in vain, as usual; I've dealt with nonsense like this for two decades... it's typically Microsofters who lack morals and brain cells).
Our effect is typically proportional to the amount of abuse we receive. It's a universal rule of thumb.
But the improvements can be seen in other places too.
An associate said today that "R-Bloggers has greatly improved of late!" Both myself and this associate separately contacted the editor of the site, offering constructive suggestions after we had spotted Microsoft AstroTurfing sneaking through. We also sent some suggestions related to RSS feeds. As a result, more sites can be followed using feeds. This helps a great deal. We must federate.
"There have been a lot of KDE improvements lately," this associate added (independently from the above). Now that I use KDE on all my laptops (I use 4 in tandem these days) I can agree. One of them is about the exceed 400 days in uptime, the other is approaching one year, and the rest are running smoothly and don't bother my workflow, except when the machines are a bit low on RAM (they have little RAM to begin with). KDE is really that stable. In the past it wasn't trivial to go on and on for that long.
All improvements are a matter of time. Sometimes things get worse instead of improve (systemd is arguably such an example). So we need to call them out on it. Wayland seems to be another. They still keep pushing it despite is being less stable and reliable (at least for now). █
