A perfect example of “give the people what they think they want, and they’ll make something entirely unusable.”

I’m not talking about a long-ago problem. I’m talking about a current install of Ubuntu.

I’m a very casual Linux user and in my experience, I’ve NEVER had a problem with a documented solution that didn’t require going down a rabbit hole of other references.

Something like this: “To get the trackpad to work with Ubuntu, make sure you’ve installed the hergelbergelXX package.” (No link, find it on your own!)

Visit the HergelBergelXX page. To install Hergelbergel on Ubuntu, you must install the framisPortistan Package Manager. (No link!)

On the FramisPortistan GitHub readme, we discover it requires the JUJU3 database system to be installed. “JUJU3 may cause conflicts with installed USB devices under Ubuntu” JUJU2, which shipped with Ubuntu, is no longer supported. Also we recommend Archie&Jughead Linux over other distributions.

And this essentially never stops.

All of this is comparatively a happy result—I actually DID post a question on linuxnoobs about getting my trackpad to work with Ubuntu… and have not had a single reply. I have no idea how to find out how to make it work.

I wish I could say this is great, but it’s an unreadable mess. Looks like EEDT.

I could have gone and made it fit

That woulda been ever so lit.

But the effort was much

And the payoff was such,

I just didn’t bother to try it.

You want to be a poet,

And sought a place to show it.

You picked a strange host

And thread for your post,

This URL would be more fit!

well… I’m not. 🍏

It’s mainly about no Nazis.

If I recall correctly, they straight up said that any program that supports their standard text presentation object will support rewrite.

How can anyone read any of this? The graphic is unreadable to me.

All of them.

Every news org. Every University. Every high school. The SPCA. Doctors Without Borders. Swing Left. Every brand that has a following: iCloud should include one with their services. Every band/performance group—I’m surprised They Might Be Giants hasn’t jumped on this.

The pie in the sky answer is “get all my friends and relations to use it.”

More realistically: I wish I could follow or friend a person here.

This has already happened many times. It’s just that those “competitors” are usually referred to as “ordinary people.”

Ran in to a lot of Nazis and Nazi-tolerant people on Hubzilla.

Peertube doesn’t make a billionaire asshole richer.

Really terrible idea to share iCloud accounts. That’s what family sharing is for.

Because easy money from a decade of low interest rates is disappearing.

TIme Machine.

Nope, because I value my time and Indigo is amazingly capable. I also have no idea at all what you mean by “more modern.”

Do you think Indigo is still only for X10?

Indigo Home automation software

HomeBridge

Time Machine

Plex Media Server

I run a Hubzilla instance on my hosting provider, but that’s probably coming down shortly. Hubzilla is weird, the community is full of grumpy old men, and engagement is low.
