usually mint is focused on because it's a simple enough ui for those new to linux. it doesn't mean other distros are forgotten. it's usually just for those not familiar with linux or coming from a different OS.

another will pop up in it's place. these anti-piracy groups are fighting against something that can't be stopped.
good lord, I could not do that job. that is so messed up.
is that a teeny tiny little orb weaver? 🥺🤏
Staying in their tube. 💅
Hey! you might be interested to learn there is an entire type of embroidery that uses precious metal pieces called Goldwork.
spools of precious metals that have been wound into very tight springs are used as embroidery or cut into small pieces and sewn on to make beautiful complex patterns.
and garments made this way even take on a different appearance as they oxidize over time!
no need for machining parts! just time, patience and a decent thimble.
holy crap. i went in with an open mind and it just got worse and worse as I kept reading.
i hope whatever AI firm commissioned this propaganda at least paid well.
weirdly my first thought just now was "wouldn't it be cool if we could federate this somehow". have a single (or a handful) of secure communication protocol(s) so that users could just choose the app with the UI they liked best and be done with it.
...then I realized I just essentially invented matrix and that already exists. lol. but yeah the issue is getting everyone to the same place.
its impossible to get some people to move from a platform they've used for over a decade in most cases.
nope I fully understand it. completely. and when they removed it, they removed my need for their app. as suddenly I went from being able to message everyone, to being able to message just 2 people.
it no longer fits my needs. so it isn't used by me or by both of the people that were leftover after the sms turn off. as they had the same reaction I did.
so that's that, I suppose.
it does make sense, actually. as they had that function when the app was first around. why do you think they have you sign up with a phone number in the first place?
also, it's not on me to solve every technical hurdle you make up. if you want to learn more about Spam Prevention methods, I can point you to some resources if you're truly interested.
I'm sorry that not everyone thinks Signal is a god app worthy of worship. its a message app, and its not the only one. it does stuff some people don't like. including me.
no we are all on different platforms. half are on android and half are on apple which is irritating. so sadly the sms is our best tool to hit everyone at the same time with any urgency.
everything about this is just so heartbreaking. and equally infuriating.
