• Started using Mastodon and Lemmy
  • Deleted Reddit account
• Changed a lot of my apps to FOSS alternatives using NeoStore
• Got a text-based launcher (Lunar Launcher)
• Started contributing to community projects
• Set up a JellyFin server

Really am enjoying using FOSS software, even though it can be a little limiting in some ways. AAAAXY is a really fun game btw!

9/20 damnit, thought I’d be better at this
