I was a happy MuseScore user before and after the UI changes. So this post brings to mind questions that usually float in my mind:
- When I can happily use a thing whose UX is criticized: is it just because I don't know any better alternatives, or because I've spent so long with it that of course I know how to work it? Or is the UX really not that bad? Or is it that there are often general solutions for most of the population, but sometimes some people take really well to things that work poorly for others and vice versa? Is it that the hated parts are bits I do not touch much in my workflow, so of course I see no problems because I am not interacting with the problem parts?
- When I have difficulty using a thing whose UX is praised or has no criticism: is it because I am smoothbrained? That I just have not had enough time trying to figure it out, so of course I struggle and just need to apply myself more? Is it something that works for most, but it will not work for everyone? Am I in a really niche use case with bad UX that nobody else has bothered to complain about?
I do not have enough UX knowledge to criticize or make objective evaluations here. I only have how easy it is for me to navigate applications. Though I would like to work on gaining it someday, especially so I can help out FOSS targets of "bad UX" complaints.
Some people actively desire this kind of algorithm because they find it easier to find content they like this way. I'm not sure if they are immune to doomscrolling and actually have gotten it to work in a way that serves them and doesn't involve doomscrolling, or if they are doomscrolling and okay with it. But for me, I really wish I could go back to the chronological feed era.
Eh, I thought different moderation philosophies were allowed, and as far as I know excluding commercial news is different from the rest given I avoid most tech communities because of all the tech-related-but-not-about-the-tech-itself articles. But my avoidance also means I have not touched every tech community, so if there is one that shares this moderation philosophy I get it.
I clicked !tech@programming.dev and at least by the sidebar it seems to intend to be that, though not too active, and I had to go report an opinion piece I agree with that got tons of upvotes even though the rules say no opinion pieces.
Lovely article.
You’ll also need to approach this guide with an open-mind. If you start off angry or feel like this is an attack on you for using (and maybe even enjoying!) GitHub, then you should come back once you’re in a better headspace. This is merely a detailed guide on how to achieve a solid set of feature parity between GitHub and SourceHut.
I didn't feel attacked at all till I read this, ironically. The rest of the article made me go right back to feeling unattacked.
This is both sweet and funny. I'd love to have a spouse like that. Thanks for taking care of them :)

Interesting read, thanks for posting!
Most of my games work right out of the box, and the ones that have problems are ones that I'd also have to fiddle with for more than a 1-minute check to ProtonDB are ones I'd have to fiddle with on Windows. However I also do not touch anything with online multiplayer or anticheat, and I know games with kernel-level anticheat tend to not handle Linux well on anything but a Steam Deck.
I swapped a PC I had mostly for gaming over to Linux. I'm having a pretty nice time.
As for piracy, I know pirated games that need to be emulated because they are originally Nintendo Switch games or something work well. No idea for pirated PC games.
