Getting some replies about Telegram vs, Signal.

@NanoRaptor the death of OPN to Leenode was a hard blow, but we persevere, OFTC has sufficient talk
@paninid all downhill after Nicea, eh?
Happy 31st birthday, #Debian!
It was not my first distribution, but it was definitely my go-to distro after all those years in my #freesoftware adventure. Here's for 31 more!
@tetrislife It was more of social/economic, in the large, question.
you see people used to do efforts together, to create useful things.. and I feel that now we're all bored by bad jobs, and trying to use our bodies aimlessly.
