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.

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

It sure does not. Not for me, anyway. I still see upvoted posts.

Or maybe the server isn’t registering my upvotes?

Yes please! I’m not visually challenged, and I can barely tell the differences.

Sounds like you’re with the oppressors.

Seems weird to me they’re de-federating from world but not from the very problematic ml.

Yeah, I want both.

Sadly, it seems that on desktop you have to OPEN the post, you can’t just expand it if there’s an image.

Let’s see. Here’s Tank Man.

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.
