Ubuntu because it requires the least amount of hack fixes to get working.

And snap has vastly simplified software installation.

That’s rather optimistic. I’m pretty sure it’s daily. Although, perhaps it’s only once a month that it gets upvoted

I used to see this a lot with Facebook. Every time they altered the design people would kick up a fuss and I never understood why, the new design always looked far better.

Nowadays of course I don’t use Facebook but will occasionally have to sign in to look up the details of a business or something. The design has of course changed and I can’t find a damn thing on it. So I’m finally on board with the masses.

But they aren’t getting forced to change accounts. Their service continues just under another provider.

People who use the default email their ISP gives them don’t like change. The new service will probably have a different login screen and that’s going to upset aunty Ethel and uncle ron. And then a different colour background. It’s the worst thing that anyone could ever do to them

That’s what I was questioning. Why do do the work but then not make it accessible?

It’s a similar thought to this topic: https://lemmy.world/post/3179113

I’ll rephrase. Why require an editor? The most common viewers of SVG do not support layers

Why not export them rather than requiring people to install Inkscape just to view the files?

Ah, MO;KR

I’m so tempted to now question what VPN stands for 😆. Although I suspect more people would recognise the acronym than the full name

MYD? Have you just invented an acronym because a search reveals zero relevant answers as to what it could possibly mean.

Using acronyms, especially obscure ones only serves to exclude people.

“qualified voter system” sounds all too much like karma that’s readily gamed with repost bots creating a worse experience for everyone.

Deluge and sploosh

Trans-missionary?

I’m struggling to thinking of what would be the obvious one?

You must mean ie7, surely?

I was developing for ie6 back in 2010 and I considered those to be dark, dark times. I can’t believe it hung on for another 3 years?

We should think about starting a GoFundMe to get the author the mental health support they so clearly need

Damn, You weren’t kidding. the article would be comical if it weren’t so worrying for his mental state.

C# is a superb language, it’s a shame it’s not used more often for open source projects.

The only argument people seem to have against it is that it’s maintained by Microsoft - which apparently is the worst thing imagineable. The reality is the Microsoft of today is very different to people’s pre-conceived image. They’ve done a fantastic job with C# and .NET.

.NET has the best documentation of any language I’ve worked with, it makes life so much easier.

You should consider who your audience is, are they all CLI experts familiar with the difference in syntax? That seems unlikely.

I’d always write documentation in a way that’s accessible to most users. The difference between $ and # syntax is highly esoteric.

sudo on the other hand is familiar to almost everyone. It’s one of the first things mentioned in beginners guides.

I wouldn’t even prefix your commands with $ as an experienced user is quite likely to include that when copying the command.

A lot of people are citing the arch wiki as a standard that uses # but isn’t the entire meme around arch that its a notably complex system?

Can’t you just select the text without the sudo prefix…?
