EU, do your thing

shady Hah

Neat

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Having access to all those things by writing a few descriptive words and a great help system (looking at you, linux commands) is awesome.

Yes. Any yet you will never use a single of those screws in your life. But just in case…

This is great news. The old site really went to shit the last few years, especially on mobile, with ads using >50% of the screen.

I used Evernote, Simplenote and various other ones and settled for Clickup for now, unless it gets enshittificated, too.

It mainly markets as a productivity app with todo lists, but also has a great document and note management system builtin.

Well, compared to books which have public archives that pretty much receive one print of each book in existance, all of those dumps come from private people. Even those emulators are created by hobbyists.

And then there are the always-online / drm ridden games that are unplayable again.

Movies have the same issues. Lots of old movies have been lost to time, only the most popular ones have been preserved. Yet again, mostly by private collectors.

As a mostly windows user, I’ve tried a few times, using various distributions. When buying my last pc and installing a popular linux distribution, it did not recognise my network card at all. Researching online told me I had to compile the drivers myself, since my distri did not have any shipped with it yet. …which is pretty hard, having no internet access because of the network card not working. To be fair, that was ~8 years ago.

For non-tech users, I feel like some parts are still pretty hard to diagnose. If an issue arises you mostly have to touch the command line and I can understand people being scared of it, having to edit plain text files, or type and enter commands that aren’t descriptive, much less finding the right command by guessing. It certainly improved, with GUIs being available for most stuff, but if you want something specific, is still feels pretty rough on the edges sometimes, from the eyes of a normal user.

If you mostly need your basic apps, like browser, some office apps or a music player it works great, though.

Both a cool concept and great artstyle. Love it!
