{ I can recommend Devuan, I've been using it as my main OS for several years. ~drummyfish } { I can recommend Devuan, I've been using it as my main OS for several years. NOTE: some people told me Devuan is impure because it's still kinda bloated and recommends bloated stuff like Firefox etc., they recommended e.g. Dragora and Hyperbola -- this is absolutely true, **basically nothing ideal exists at the moment**, and any software recommendation always comes with the danger of it becoming shit over time, always keep that in mind; really recommending any software at this point comes down to discussing what's least shit, what [suckles the least](suckless.md) and also putting a a lot of weight on subjective factors. Also distros don't matter basically, they are all shit, just choose something that doesn't stand too much in the way of your creation and accept that it sucks. If you are skilled you can set up a much better Unix than Debian, Debian is a recommendation for a user who wants a good balance between "close to LRS" and "[just werks](just_werks.md)"; if you are skilled enough to set up a close to ideal system you probably don't need my recommendation on a distro, you can find it yourself. ~drummyfish }

Google raised to the top thanks to its [search engine](search_engine.md) launched in the 90s. It soon got a **monopoly on the Internet search** and started pushing ads.

# Kiwifarms
Kiwifarms is a website accessible at https://kiwifarms.net whose address is highly [censored](censorship.md), known for mostly harmless funmaking of online people (usually autists and schizos, see e.g. [Sonichu](sonichu.md)). It's a center of a lot of "anti cyber bullying" hysteria and drama. We just want to leave the link to the site here as it's being censored everywhere.

His work is pretty based, in many ways aligned with [LRS](lrs.md), he contributed a great deal to minimalist technology. Unfortunately in some ways he also seems pretty retarded: he uses [facebook](facebook.md), [twitter](twitter.md) and [github](github.md) and also mentions "personal pronouns" on his twitter xD Pretty disappointing TBH. This would make Viznut a [type A fail](fail_ab.md). His work is pretty based, in many ways aligned with [LRS](lrs.md), he contributed a great deal to minimalist technology.
