this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

not even particularly confusing, it’s just two inexperienced users being inexperienced. it seems like it’s only confusing people that know OpenOffice and LibreOffice have OS X versions but somehow don’t know that not everyone knows what they’re doing.

you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.

i’ve never had an original thought in my life.

ideally you’d setup wireguard (or whatever) for them to use so you’re not just opening ports to the entire internet. i use jellyfin and like it a lot, but the real major issue with jellyfin is explaining to your elderly mother how to setup and use wireguard on her smart tv.

i’ve been using emacs for a while and i cannot believe i’ve never thought to check for that. sure enough, there it is. amazing.

yeah, it’s all true, lol.

it’s emacs, though.
