Sunsetting the Eifueo Project
· 3 min read
For three and a half years, the Eifueo project has dutifully carried out its task of collecting and organising notes in a way that would be quick and easy to review.

In the computing world, Linux is already extremely widespread — it's near-ubiquitous on servers as well as many appliances such as smart fridges, cars, or even Mars helicopters . If you have an Android phone, you're running Linux already. So why not give it a shot on your computer, too?

Welcome to the very first Primoprod progress report! In a similar vein to quite a few open source emulation projects (such as those I follow myself using emufeed), I'll be releasing these tidbits in lieu of daily Unstagnation shorts sometimes.

It's difficult to fairly judge anything in a manner free from bias. It's even more difficult to do it for abstract and creative works such as literature or stories, as your own personal enjoyment can greatly affect how you view the work and any flaws it might have.
