@morgan “Why push a Fedora distro these days?”
What's wrong with Fedora? It works perfectly well and is well-maintained. I've been a moderately satisfied Fedora user for 20 years…

@glyph MS SQL Server perform better on Linux as well.

@krans @ubernostrum @glyph the initial complaint was that it was confusing for someone new to Linux to install a deb file on Fedora, which seems trivial for someone who's used Linux for some time however not to someone new.
Reality is this was the first experience and that experience was, why did the file that Discord gave me for Linux not work on Linux?

@glyph hooray! a new and awful way to tell people that every symptom is probably cancer!

@hugo I cannot stress enough that in no way does ChatGPT “think” things

It is difficult to express how bad microsoft’s authentication system is. like it’s not just “bad” or “broken” or “buggy”, it is a world-historic interaction design catastrophe. no matter how bad you think it is, no, it’s worse than that actually.
@glyph I had an astonishingly similar experience prior to passkeys. It was a nightmare to understand and navigate. Microsoft layered Passkeys on top of a mountain of shit hoping that suddenly the smell might be less obvious. It isn't.

granted, probably 1/3 of the difficulties here have to do with microsoft’s ill-conceived “think of the children” account system, and buying the game as a regular adult with a single account would have been massively easier. but still, you’d think that a PM somewhere in the org would have considered that it is *possible* that a child might want to play … minecraft
@glyph I went to play a little Minecraft recently and they had deleted my account with no path to recovery to play the game I paid for fair and square. I would never recommend people buy anything from them.

@mirth bummer :-(. the migration window was open for like … 10 years, but my spouse also almost missed it, and only caught it by luck. she either didn’t get, spam-trapped, or didn’t read the relevant migration spam and she only noticed that she needed to do a manual migration because she happened to get a new machine and thus lost her old-style auth cookie a few months before it closed forever

@morgan having created a google account in the dark times where I do not think a gmail address was necessary, I am frankly glad that they stopped allowing that. or maybe I did have a gmail account but also had another email I could log in with, but it absolutely never worked correctly

@morgan but yeah passkeys are absolutely ancillary to the main problems

*I* accidentally provisioned a passkey in this process somehow and I wasn’t even the one trying to authenticate
@glyph OK, that is *impressively* bad UX.

@xgranade I swear I am not doing it justice. I am making it sound quirky and fun and not the grinding misery that I experienced here

New post:
"What I'm up to – February 2026 edition"
🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/what-im-up-to-february-2026-edition/
a blog post that chronicles what I've been up to this past month: from attending #FOSDEM in Brussels to creating an easy-to-follow self-hosting guide for newbies…
I also discussed what is my "written by a human" handwritten message is at the bottom, for those who may have been confused by it. As I say, it's "an act of defiance and rebellion against AI and LLMs..."

...comunque era l'anno dei miei 25 anni (1990) e credevo in questo imminente futuro europeo insieme.
Molto è cambiato, ma l'idea di un'unica grande nazione ancora non si è avverata, e non la vedo nemmeno all'orizzonte. Resto comunque fiducioso, nonostante tutto... 😊

to be fair though, computer skills can't help much with printers. You need to use witchcraft instead.

@_elena failing at printers is a qualification for IT professionals. nobody understands it :)

@Gina for sure! 🥰
she's a bit skeptical of my computer skills after I failed to get the printer to work the other day, but I'm trying to restore a good image, LOL

@_elena oh my... good idea. I probably should show my 8 year old daughter my website.
