a distro with the GNOME desktop environment

We would have lost a newbie by this point.

I don’t think we are representative of the average user. For example, noone from my family heard of these terms, or even care. They just want to browse the web, watch some Youtube videos, and that’s it.

Same thing with Fediverse instances.

IMO the linux and/or fediverse community could learn a thing or two about UX from the establishment.

I believe the best approach is to take note of the Pareto Principle: 20% of instances / distros would meet the need of 80% of users.

I would simply recommend Ubuntu / lemmy.world to complete beginners (just based on market share). If they are interested in alternatives, they would naturally seek those out themselves.

This concept is nothing new e.g. Google presents their searchbar front and centre; power users would click on “Advance Search” for their needs.

Easy solution: wired mouse

Why not just do speech-to-text and display the text???

Personally, I have seen so many memes about exiting vim that by the time I got to use it for the first time, exiting it was a no-brainer.

For any newbies out there, the command is

Someone should have circled it in red.

Spaghetti is all messy and tangled up; spaghetti code is the same.

when the order of execution was obfuscated due to excessive jumps and GOTOs

That’s one way to make your code messy and thus achieve spaghetti code.

In general, when some code is very poorly written, it becomes spaghetti code.

No need for all that.

You’ve just got to see my code.

FYI

1. branch protection is a thing
2. commit signing is a thing

Any context?
