you: theres no such thing as a one true distro. Everybody has their own needs :) and everybody has their own requirements :) and everybody has their own preferences :)
me: what like "i want a computer that actually works and makes sense"

the problem is i think. if a linux distro was actually good enough, it would annihilate all the other distros. and that would go against the whole point of there being distros. so theyre not allowed to make a distro thats good. they're not allowed to be like "look we're actually gonna do it this time, we're gonna make the one true linux", they'd get tomatoes thrown at them. they can only make a distro thats "okay, but then in 5 years it Goes Wrong and everybody hops to the next popular distro"
oh red dwarf series 2 feels entirely different from series 1

the people replying to this have no idea what i want back is msn messenger and macromedia flash
i didn't mean for this to blow up and with how activitypub works you'll never see this post but hey check out the stuff i do https://maple.pet
the above viral post was spurred on by not being allowed to send my friends doodles anymore, see: https://computerfairi.es/@mavica_again/113553227480258257
using computers in 2024 as someone who used to use computers in 2004 is extremely frustrating and depressing
you can already copy images, they show up in the clipboard in gboard, and you can paste them into a text box to send that image on most messaging apps already. this flow already exists. just nobody thought to make something where you can draw on it instead
the only ways i can find now to send a quick drawing to someone else on a phone is by buying into a whole another messaging app and convince others to use it too. i don't want that! literally every other messaging app i already have is already perfectly capable of sending images, it's just that the pipeline of drawing an image and uploading it through to the app is way more convoluted than it needs to be! i should be able to just draw on my screen where the keyboard is and send it as an image!
i miss the times when we did more with a 128mb RAM windows ME machine than we do today with 8gb RAM ARM microcomputers in our pockets
it's fascinating how more boring, less creative and interactive, computing has been for the past 20 years. we used to be able to do this sort of thing (send quick doodles without having to open up 2-3 separate programs) in MSN messenger for crying out loud. now we're pocketing supercomputers that can barely open up and share an image without going through contrived pipelines
next year we'll have been on hrt for a whole decade waow...

the one thing i miss from wire (messaging app) is being able to doodle things and send as messages
is there anything like that for other apps on android? maybe something that hooks into the file upload (where you can already pick "gallery" or "camera")
now that i have a phone with a stylus more than ever i want to effortlessly send doodles to discord and telegram

well this is quite possibly the most interaction i've ever had with a post. if you're able bodied and not living in poverty, please consider contributing to our gofundme to allow my partner/carer to move to the uk to live with me full time https://gofund.me/174a4791

suicide
i don't fully understand people who still believe that crying out for help actually works
i could talk about killing myself up and down all day here without a single person noticing and if it actually happens everybody (if anyone notices) will go like "oh where'd that come from. i had no idea"
i feel extremely unloved
