So, your solution to "ease onboarding" is to give newcomers more work? For a platform with far less content that's already confusing them with just signing up, let alone figuring out transfering or self hosting?

I think you VASTLY overestimate how many fucks people have to give, and also how tech literate the average person is. The average person can barely figure out how to change their web browser, and most really don't care about the awful shit big companies do.

This idea of yours would drive engagement through the floor and a respectable distance into the Earth's crust.

Ease of use should be the #1 consideration when it comes to onboarding people to something.

Because I'm not allowed in the morgue anymore.

Is it "working splendidly?" They're getting almost everything they want, so clearly it's working for them.

Been using the premium version of the launcher for years, absolutely love it. Won't use anything else at this point, I'm even starting to make my own full tile images

It's more fun than that, even if you get one there's no guarantee they'll be any good!

Gotta love doctors who ignore you and give you painkillers to make you go away, and can't read the bold text on forms you pay them to fill out.

How dare you say we can't be civil?! The fucking nerve!

(very, VERY big /S)

I did, it's a buggy undercooked mess that doesn't work half the time. The app that's officially supported is missing half the features. Trying to get people to switch to it is like pulling teeth as the onboarding process in overly complicated for the average user.

Meanwhile Signal works right out of the box with very little fuss.

I prefer getting my news from cryptic symbolism in my dreams

Good plan, I already had investment in VR before I went to Linux so I'm not really wanting to scrap all of it, you know?

The only reason I still have to have Windows on a spare drive is VR. I have a Vive Cosmos and as far as I can tell there is just flat out no support for Linux.

You are absolutely correct there.

I do my best to vote for better parties man, but I am out-numbered by the stupids who think the answer to fixing problems caused by conservative governments is to elect more conservatives.

During a year where there was a transit stabbing every other week, our mayor took a trip on transit to "combat the perception that transit is unsafe." She had a full police escort... They're more concerned with optics than with actually solving problems.

In my case it's because I can't get hardware that supports it without paying a fortune for importing. The other option is ancient hardware that most likely has a cooked battery that I'd have to hunt for in a used market.

Then there's the lack of VoLTE support on a lot of models which is becoming a non-starter as carriers are taking down the 3G towers.

That's before I've even gotten to try the software which I'm not hearing great things about.

It's not popular because it's an enthusiast niche at best. Linux mobile needs more time in the oven before it's ready, by my measurement another couple of decades.
