It's hard to read because it's a manual made for technical users.
On Linux most of the software is made by freelance developers who often forget that all users are not technical and even if they are they don't want to be forced to interact with technical stuff. For the same reason I don't want to daily-drive gentoo, sometimes I don't want to read the manual.
I happen to be a contributor on multiple FOSS project and most didn't have a docs directory in their repo or website, let alone an user guide. That's fine for a CLI program to rely on wiki/manuals but graphical apps should have a user guide on their website. Working on documentation is a thankless job in FOSS spaces.
RTFM is not a working formula. Because most people skip reading the manual for one simple reason, the manual is hard to read.
I remember my early arch days when asking a question about an issue I'm having was always met with a wikipage I already read but did not understand.
Rather than pushing for a magic manual, the best is to provide sane default or point to tutorials.
The center will lead to the alt-right again. Look at Bayrou who talk about "subversion migratoire", Darmanin telling lepen she's soft on imigrants or even Macron rolling the red carpet for the alt-right.
( Note : liberals are not leftist in Europe, they are center right, the left would be socialist ) Outside of France it's the same, liberals are all too happy to welcome fascist if it help protect the establishment. In France we even have a saying for that : "Plutôt Hitler que les Front populaire" ( meaning people in power would prefer Nazi to a change in hierarchy, "Rather Hitler than the popular front" ).
All of that to say, don't hope centrist will do anything other than open the door when fascism come.
Seems like the French word concubinage which is a couple not legally binded. For example me living with my BF is concubinage but if we register a civil union ( PACs or Marriage in France ) or stop living together we would be in the other categories.
As someone pointed out, do you like ads ? Because AI content feel the same, it's annoying stuff I need to skip to access real content and on top of that it's an ecological disaster.
When I open an image or a page and realise it's AI, I feel the same as when I download a movie and it turns out I got a dot exe.
I would recommend mint to non technical users and Debian / Arch to more technical ones.
It lasted two month because the gouvernement de Versailles (3rd French Republic) decided to kill people en masse. They killed so much it was called la semaine sanglante.
That's usually my goal when making those kind of edits, I tend to spend extra time making it look like it's done badly ( for example I could have cleanly croped the engineer logo or get a clean PNG but no I searched for a jpg and badly cropped it with gimp using a objectively wrong threshold )
Honestly this should be a wake call to the FOSS community that we are way too reliant on the US.
Every default we have is US centric and if FOSS is really meant for everyone we should move away from that.
There is a spy around here !
Thank you ! I see a lot of cool things !
