So far I've found #Hubzilla channels are the most user friendly and similar to Facebook Groups.

I don't care about federation between different social media platforms, that will just add noise. I only want federation between servers of the same social media platforms.
Okay, I've found the federated alternative for Fb groups, already available right now, is #Friendica forums. Not as slick and easy as Fb groups but given time it might get there.
What is the federated equivalent of Facebook Groups? That is a virtual social group where like minded people can discuss some specific topic and share media about it. #ActivityPub
I'd started to move to #Linux. Having to use the CLI sometimes is fun, (sort of nostalgia for DOS 3.3).
Web browsing, emails, graphics, media player, office applications, text editor, file manager all work fine.
Until I struggled to get OCR, especially a screenshot reader working.
I'm still on Windows where ABBYY FineReader just works. Every boot I skip the option for #Kubuntu.

Alright frens, I have another dumb post about C stuff.
It seems like every C program I come across uses a very simple key=value way of handling files for the end user, and yet there isn't a C library that they all use in order to make config parsing extremely breezy? Why??
I get that these formats are easy to implement from scratch, but what ever happened to DRY?

this is a great article! "why you hate contemporary architecture" https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/10/why-you-hate-contemporary-architecture
i kept nodding and going "yeah! wow it's not just me! i'm not alone in hating these things!" ... except the part about skyscrapers, i still think tall buildings are cool and can be done well.
(i think i saw this posted here a few weeks ago, but it takes me a while to get through the longreads)
Look at what's happened to the unmoderated Usenet newsgroups, they're almost entirely spam these days.
To have a #MediaWiki #wiki without the admin headache or cost of the extra infrastructure required to run it properly then use #Miraheze, free, without adverts, wiki hosting.
Disclaimer: I have no ties to Miraheze except for being a satisfied user of the service they provide. After a few years of the hassle of maintaining the wiki PHP/MySQL myself.
Really I'd like to use #Thunderbird but trivial problems prevent me from doing so. For example not allowing me to simply drag and drop emails between folders.
Interests mainly: electronic innards, wiki tweaking, history of technology, flea markets ...
