classic linux thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, is i was looking up what music players had good visualisations, like the milkdrop kind we all remember. one was a standalone app that could respond to any audio on the computer. cool! so i hit up my package manager. but i noticed something. the installation seemed to require the removal of a few packages and replacement with some other ones. it wanted to remove the audio subsystem on my computer?? and change it to a different one?

amiga continues to be the most impenetrable computer platform with linux at a very close second
the thing that bothers me about this is how aminet is the mecca of amiga software everybody tells you have to get everything from but none of the (commercial in 1993) software there is cracked or pre-registered, you need to make an account in eab abime to get those, so everybody is just refusing to say the quiet part out loud and sweeping it all under the rug
Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says *WELL ACKTUALLY*??
I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now
