- To throw something or someone out of a window
It comes from wikitionary.
Defenestration, the word with 6 meanings and 4 of them are the same.

Defenestration: How high ranking Russian officials are retired when they are no longer useful.
I did that last week. Now I'm on omarchy. It's quite handy. I even switched to neovim for my daily writing and coding. Loving the keyboard-focussed control.
Isn't omarchy created by a fascist, racist, transphobic pos?
I've heard that, but I'm not actively seeking out the cult of personality. He's made a good product though. He's also very active in the project and very active in the spotlight. His hunger for fame does not bode well for the allegations against him. It's usually those people who are the worst.
But still, it's a good product. He might be an asshole,but I don'think he will become an Elon musk kind of asshole. But if he does, it'll be easy enough to abandon omarchy en masse.
Well well well, if it isn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop wink wink.
a better one *
