Most operating systems these days are just micro-kernels to run the actual operating system, your browser. Most users will be perfectly happy using whatever in most cases as long as you can get one of the major browsers on it.

If they have special requirements, then you need to figure them out first.

If they want to learn how to run their own stuff, go ahead and teach them.

Do you think sister here wants to learn how to run nextcloud?

I definitely think they should help their families out. Helping them select an alternative service is helping out.

Being on the hook for endless tech support while getting blamed for everything is not helping out. It’s also not healthy for your relationship with your sibling, and it’s not a good use of family holiday time.

A partner is different. You already share a lot of infra, and since you presumably spend a lot more time together it’s not likely to impact your relationship as much unless you go full Pat & Mat do IT.

This is my most heartfelt advice: do not do hosting for family members. You will get no end of trouble.

Find her a commercial service she can trust. Or throw up your hands and go “big tech, what can you do”. But do not, under any circumstance, run her IT.

The fish is not the only one here that’s “dumb”.

Wt actual f?

He doesn’t have bash. I’m not sure I’ve seen a system this millennium with Perl but not bash.

I can’t really think of anything that’s less frustrating than sh and ticks all your boxes. You can try TCL but it’s bound to be a shit show. It was painful to use two decades ago.

Perl is a step up in terms of developer comfort, but it’s at the same time too big and too awkward to use.

Maybe a statically linked Python?

Aww, that sucks.

It’s amazing. You press one button on a new out of box Mac and you’re in a zsh!

Also, sleep and suspend just work.

Raymond is a fucking incel. His site is a collection of cringe and “yes, this entry here, officer”.

That’s not right. It’s not even wrong.

TSMC provides the cell library.

Fuck that guy and and his emerald boy man crush.

For all you Life is Strange fans out there.

I’m aware. That’s why I chose this instance. And yet.

I’m guessing the issue is that instance mods only see reports. What we’re missing is moderators that care about a community and curate it.

Moderation is community level though.

If you bubble everything up to instance admins they basically melt from the effort.

Are you joking? Lemmy is basically unmoderated, and the little moderation we have is trash.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was trying to be concise and keep in style with the OP, but I may have gone overboard there.

I consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.

There are also useful idiots.
