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.
Edgelord was the wrong word choice, sorry. I mean argumentative jerks that pick fights over absolutely anything.
Don’t sleep on the actual edgelords either. I got a guy in my replies right now screeching how women in politics are the real fascism because of identity politics.
But the jerks are the real issue.
Only up to a certain extent. The point of federation is that the shit gets spread around the instances.
Also, we have evolved “free speech” kind of ethos that only allows the most egregious of norm violations to be moderated.
This is place is forever lost to the edgelords.
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.
We’re a bunch of assholes in a more or less unmoderated space. Of course discussion sucks.
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.
This sounds like the kind of thing people say who can’t help themselves.
Like resolutions about never drinking again. Or how you really stopped smoking this time, pinky swear. Or how you’re definitely going to lose twenty pounds this year and hit the gym twice a week.
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.
That’s not right. It’s not even wrong.
TSMC provides the cell library.
Be that as it may, your ad hoc definition in your first comment was spurious and finds no basis in English language Marxist literature.
Are you the only person using that definition?
Because traditionally English speaking Marxists use them the other way around, as far as I remember, (work is useful, produces use value, labor is economic, produces economic value) if they make that distinction at all.
See for example:

EDIT
Apparently the English edition includes a footnote by Friedrich Engels:
As has been stated in a previous note, the English language has two different expressions for these two different aspects of labour: in the Simple Labour-process, the process of producing Use-Values, it is *Work; *in the process of creation of Value, it is *Labour, *taking the term in its strictly economic sense. — F. E.
Which reads very much like you are using them wrong.
Can you elaborate on the work vs labor dichotomy?
I’m not familiar with the concept, especially because in my language the two would be almost exact synonyms in this context (unless you are Hercules or what not). And Latin languages just get the one.
Software meant to enrich its creator often isn’t
This is a prime example of what I alluded to in my comment. For-profit capitalism is the establishment politics, so it’s portraid as apolitical.
Also, the establishment politics of the public that must not be challenged in order to make money? Apolitical.
Politics is just another name for the way we decide how to run things. Everything that is not absolutely trivial is political to some degree.
“Apolitical” is just a dog whistle for establishment politics.
I’d love to see a TV series about Hadrian where he arrives in a new province every episode and fixes stuff.
Interspersed are scenes of young Hadrian with Trajan, who is constantly badgered by mail by provincial governors (including Pliny the Younger) about trivial matters, as he tries (and fails spectacularly) to instill into Hadrian the importance of decentralized leadership.
The Olympians are a bunch of whiny ass petty excuses for gods.
