haha trying to go through some gawdawful checklist of command-line gibberish to get #FFXIV installed on this Linux box and of course it's already going wrong and there's nothing in the checklist to explain how to recover from errors

ah yes, that good ol' internet researcher problem: Everything's Fucking Paywalled
I wish I knew the least bit about the colloquial terms for various types of electronic music
salt about fediverse community
(I'll be blunt, I feel little sense of community on the fediverse. oh it's there, but it's only if you fit a certain profile. being SERIOUS about anything is social death. but I ain't good at cute shitposts)
(this will be another question that I will have to ask three or four times before getting even one answer)

feels to me like most sewing stuff out there is either about making tiny low-effort changes or making stuff from scratch, but most of what i do is kind of in the middle - really involved resize work or like, making something new out of an old garment by more or less tearing it apart
so what IS the least horrifying way to get an #Android app running? the official SDL is a complete nightmare and I don't wanna touch it
Unity, maybe?
Windows file sharing remains unusable. I still can't connect to my Android phone in a way that lets me see its file system; the most I can do is manually send files from my phone to my computer. connecting to the household printer seems as unattainable as walking to the Moon
why am I doing this to myself
bleh in general I _am_ at the point that I ALWAYS reach with a Linux installation where enough different things aren't working properly that I'm wondering "why the heck aren't I running Windows, again?"

Reminder:
Strikes and protests are inconvenient and loud and costly and a bit of an imposition on the rest of us
This is on purpose
It's *supposed* to be this way
If you are inconvenienced, it's working
Support the workers anyway
(needless to say trying to online search for info on this just yields a mess. the default result for searching for "how do I do X on Linux" is always a mess. usually you get links to unanswered forum questions)
Kara (and the rest of us) hardly ever get answers to technical questions on the fediverse without asking multiple times and I dunno if that's the fediverse to blame or if it's because it's _us_ asking
I'd complain about how if I'd asked this on Twitter I'd have gotten some kinda answer by now but, nah, nobody on Twitter would have bothered
so, asking again
does *anyone* know first hand about getting #ffxiv to run on Linux? is it a WINE thing? is there a client?

gab, a racist plattform and the fediverse
#gab, a social network that is some sort of recruiting plattform for racists and alike seems to plan joining the #fediverse.

We do not want you here!
We will not federate with you!
You will continue to remain an isolated plattform aslong you remain a racist piece of shit.

uh how do you get #FFXIV running on Linux anyway? this is theoretically possible yeah?
taking a chance on a cheap-ass (like, three hundred dollar) spectrophotometer from an online vendor >_>
