Who hurt you?

greybeards dunking on you because you’re not a “real” linuxer

Oh, right. I see.

Can confirm.

androids can’t do base distro’s anymore?

I’ll be honest, I never tried. Seeing that there are projects working independently to bring Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch to Android, I’d guess no? Plus I know you can run any distro in an emulator within Android systems, but that feels more like a curiosity.

Yeah, but tech journos are so far up Big Tech’s cloaca that they can’t imagine any platform emerge without a business plan™. Couple that with their unreflected admiration for anything they’re told is The Next Thing and you have the gushing bit you quoted.

So, 15 years later we’re worse off than then? Argh.

Out of curiosity, was it “just” a plain Debian system, or did it support touch screen and phone service?

No, I use only the platforms I wouldn’t want to see get lost eventually. But I see your attempt at a rhetorical gotcha, and I want to recognise that, too.

Posting on the fediverse I sort of want to exempt those, but Bluesky can get in the sea too, yeah.

we need to ban every platform such as Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Discord

Now you’re talking.

a lot of them have anime or furry stuff as their wallpaper or profile picture, but they use linux

What you’re experiencing is sonder.

This message doesn’t say anything about the validity of your license, though. Or am I missing something?

I’m not up to date on Windows versions, but saying Win 11 has reached end of service is… unexpected?

There are several UI translation projects, one is Transifex. There is also Crowdin, but I see they have started using “AI” translations as well…

Generally, both mobile and web apps that are interested in volunteer translators will have a link to their preferred platform in their source code repository.

All the more reason to chip in as a (human) volunteer translating open source apps 🙂

I’ve used deepl, and as a “quick solution/I’m fine with the occasional error” translation service it’s definitely better than Google. As a commercial platform probably tracking more than I personally care for, trying to corner a market share —not so much.

But neither of the above are fit for translating books of any kind (except perhaps as a joke to emphasise just that). And I’m still doubtful of the “AI” models doing any better.

This weird grudge match is devolving more and more into schoolyard tactics. I’ve been wary of all the Automattic service integrations even in self hosted WP, and it’s turning out even worse than I could imagine. Not with simple enshittification, but with a complete egomaniacal tantrum.

My earnest hope is that all of the former WordPress community supporters and contributors, swivel and start investing their time and effort into WriteFreely.

I’m afraid there won’t be one replacement for WordPress, because it has so many applications. The pure blogging aspect could be substituted by Writefreely, more advanced users may go to Ghost, and I’m not sure what small business and corporate websites will turn to?

Have a downvote for the complete lack of context. What is this, why is it interesting to you?

All I see here is a lowest effort share of something that should probably just have been added to your personal reading list 🤷

I suspect that they have ulterior motives

Rather than guessing at the motives of others, let’s remember Hanlon’s razor.

Just any year, I’m not unreasonable 😂

I’m just really excited by this major version, and am impatient to get my hands on the final release…

Yeah, fingers crossed for an actual release before New Year, though.

Exactly.

I don’t have figures on how many people actually use GIMP, but I’m guessing a lot more than the number of people griping about its usability online.
