cwm(1), st(1), SF Mono and my light colorscheme[0].

The battery life is comparable. At least, nothing noticeably different.

Couple of reasons. For one, I think I'd prefer if the devs of my OS
actually used it themselves, and didn't develop on macOS. I also don't
like FreeBSD's Code of Conduct. OpenBSD on the other hand -- the devs
actually dogfood that stuff. I also like their focus on security and
simplicity.

Scuttlebutt is doing some interesting stuff, but I found their entire
product a little too confusing. So I download the app but I don't see
anything? What? I need to add a server to fetch peerlists from? Where do
I find these servers?

Still a long way to go from a UX perspective.

Interesting approach! I solved it by fixing up my Prosody config to
point to the correct VirtualHost (had to set it to icyphox.sh).

Yes, I am aware of this but I don't particularly enjoy running GUI tools
for simple tasks like music. Moreover, I have my cmus configured just
how I like it, and don't intend on switching. Thanks, though. ;)

As much as I agree with the idea behind the license, I don't think it's
meant /for/ a license and is better suited as a CoC, as Eli has rightly
said.

But yes, the new trend of politicizing software is extremely bothersome,
especially because most of it tends to be relevant mostly in the United
States and people from other countries really couldn't care less. This
is not to say that the problems the US has don't exist -- but you don't
see $BIGTECH putting up banners for say, issues that India has or
Singapore has (despite the company having presence in those countries).

scdoc doesn't build on OpenBSD. Its Makefile appears to be incompatible
with BSD make:

    make: don't know how to make src/%.c (prerequisite of: .build/%.o)
    Stop in /home/icy/leet/scdoc

At least, that's what I think anyway.

Hard agree on ksh. I currently use it on OpenBSD! In fact, the reason I
switched was how sluggish bash was. The difference in speed is night and
day. I do miss some bashisms though...
