  • No it's not. Tell them to learn to switch or lose access. It's your server, do what you want.

  • How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog

  • Others are debating the point about the doc itself, so I won't go there, but just because you enjoyed doing it, doesn't mean others do, or have the time.

    I happen to write really detailed documentation, because I like to, I like the formality of it. However, as I stated in my other comment my complaint is about the assumptions made in the blog post. Specifically:

    I just felt like if we rewrote the blog post as a “What a writer who’s never learned to program’s code looks like to a developer” it would make no sense, so why should we accept it in it’s current form?

  • Agreed, maybe this writer could step in and volunteer their time instead of writing satire complaining about it.

  • Oh man, this I do hate. If you have terminology in your app, that is not a standard, please, please define it.

  • I think you're spot on, and this is the reason I put "controversial" in front of it. I just felt like if we rewrote the blog post as a "What a writer who's never learned to program's code looks like to a developer" it would make no sense, so why should we accept it in it's current form?

  • The article is by what appears to be a career writer who implies that developers should be doing their job, too. Not to mention this is mostly in unpaid FOSS. The author's method is tone deaf.

    As for your response, while factually true, to your example: Lemmy users don't care that you use Linux. Lemmy users care that you're the type of person who will educate yourself enough to learn Linux.

    Growth through learning, and part of that learning is figuring out the holes and filling them in. Heck, once Lemmy gets past that stage, we (and all those who took the plunge) will probably all move on to somewhere else.

  • Controversial, but: Skill issue.

    I do a lot of FOSS work. I dont write docs for everyone most of the timr. I write docs for those already educated on most of the items. This still applies, and is accessible to anyone:

    If you don't know the word, look it up in the dictionary.

    I don't want to downplay frustrations, I know those are real, but most people writing these things aren't paid.

    Note: If a Dev complains their idea isn't adopted and the docs suck, that's another story.

    Edit: And the article seems to be by a career writer, so it makes sense from their perspective, but some more expansive thinking on their part about how a developer isn't staffed to do their job, too, would be helpful.

  • Debian is just Ubuntu before they add Snap.

    Or, remove snap from Ubuntu:

     
        
# Remove snap
        if [ -n "$(which snap 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
                SNAPS=$(snap list |awk '{print $1}' |grep -v Name)
                for SNAP in ${SNAPS} do; snap remove ${SNAP}; done
                sudo systemctl stop snapd
                sudo systemctl stop snapd.socket
                sudo systemctl disable snapd
                sudo systemctl mask snapd
                sudo apt purge snapd -y
                sudo apt-mark hold snapd
                sudo cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref

                rm -rf ~/snap

                sudo rm -rf /var/lib/snapd

  • YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save any page into a single HTML file.

  • You can also use it to save directly to Karakeep if you are behind a locked site and Karakeep can't archive it for you.

  • Which stage are you at?

    Jump

  • After a while, you start to realize Ubuntu (or insert any Debian-based distro) is great because of it's wide usage, and it mostly just works.

    But then, you realize Snaps slow things down, or some other piece is annoying. Most of the time, these are things added on top of Debian.

    So then you realize you can just run Debian, and pick and choose the parts you want from other distros.
