An interesting material it is.

So that church that I heard was using its non-profit status to create an untaxable 32 billion dollar investment portfolio that got exposed for using 13 shell companies to hide the holdings from the public was a Mormon one! Who could have guessed!
So like, when was the last time someone said they needed to handle the “enemy within”?
Oh wait
I remember this from history class!
4·2 months ago- Idiot proofing
- Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
- Idiot proofing
- Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
- Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people
I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.
Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I’m sure everyone knows by now.
Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That’s for a reason.
The opposite is true as well! Some people literally can’t read white text on a black background.
Including both light and dark mode is a matter of accessibility!
Ooookkay,

Wow, who could have guessed

Alleged and mostly bullshit from the Telegram founder it seems.
Wasn’t there some controversy about Signal’s creation being supported by the US government to provide private communications for anti-us-enemy organisation or something? I’m sure I remember it correctly…
Windows update would always start doing stuff whenever I turned on my PC and would slow it down to a laggy crawl until it finished. This increased the pressing the power button to doing what I need to do time to 15 minutes.
I knew that Linux updates worked differently so I tried it out. And I was right. Oh so right
Trans people should start their own religion and then claim bigots are violating their right to freedom of religion or whatever

We have color and okayish refresh rates now!
The biggest problem with Linux (other than the whole “most people give up the second they see a terminal” thing) is software availability, which will hopefully improve as Linux gains market share.
If only libreoffice had an app for mobile platforms…
Being unable to open the documents I wrote on my computer without using some kind of crappy ad filled third-party app is annoying.
Wow, the emerald mine heir that wants to go to mars is getting support from the ex-KGB agent with a penchant for poisoning. I honestly don’t know why I expected anything different
