The best defense is to be informed. Unfortunately for me I am too informed
and drift too much with the ebb and flow. I should approach it more like the
stock market and look more at long term trends than daily blips. However,
the long term is not so rosy either. When I started with Ubuntu is was OTB
GNOME with a bit of theming. Now it is radically different and some of that
is the proprietary things that worry me. Maybe it is better to just have a
short memory. What was I just writing about?
