Yep know a guy at FedEx and they leave those notes when the package never made it to the truck but they have a contract to deliver in a certain time frame. So they put the blame on the customer as a strategy of cooking the metrics.
This 100%, it's even harder when someone puts a posting bot in a sub and expects people to show up. The best communities started by someone creating a sub and posting things they found interesting. Treating it like a personal link archive. Then people would add to the discussion after finding you. If you are posting for a few weeks and then just gives up. It just makes the problem worse. Since now people have to sift through a bunch of dead communities on multiple instances all named the same.
It has to be built organically it's like people with video channels on YouTube or peer tube. Making your first video and if it doesn't do well they quit. Most successful creators made tons of videos before they took off. They kept at it because they were making the videos for themselves for just the sake of self expression as their first priority and the views will come.
The thing you have to remember is debian packaging is ment to be the most vanilla from upstream with only minor modifications to follow debian packaging guidelines. So tweaking for user friendliness would give you the same problems that debian's children have. Plus 90% of that user friendliness came from bundling Nvidia firmware in the installer. Which debian does now by default. The only thing you have to do now is maybe install the nvidia-driver package and that's it.
Debian is always the forgotten choice. You can install kde at time of install. It's stable and can be upgraded in the background automatically even between major versions. Doesn't have snaps making hell for the user. For any apps they need the newest version of Flatpak is right there in Discover software center.
We need to seriously AI proof before that happens or the bots will clean us out and eat all our bandwidth. The only thing keep us safe is we are under the radar.
Also there are a lot of nation states that have little to no natural resources other than oil. So if there is ever a day that oil how's bust. Those nations will be irrelevant and their whole economy and purchase power on imports goes back 200 years.
There was a quote that is sometimes attributed to Sheikh Rashid but most likely not a real quote but it speaks the truth about those petostates.
"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel"
As long as you are not doom scrolling the device itself is not the problem. We went from 10 devices doing different functions to 1 that replaced them all. So using that device to play games, to read books, watch tv, listen to music, take a photo. The problem is from the outside all those look like you are looking at a black rectangle.
This is what I find fascinating Esperanto was constructed ment to unify all the major western languages but English became the standard and in a way English was built organically in the same way as Esperanto. As it pulls from other languages to use in its language all the time.
I both understood that sentence perfectly and sounded like a crazy person while reading it out loud.
