    As long as software is available in the Software Manager to be installed that way… I don’t care what format it’s in.

    But don’t make normies go to the terminal. It’s inhumane, and really does not help the masses get away from big tech - which is a worthier goal than keeping your software terminal-only.



















  • noted, and you’re right.

    I actually mis-applied that term in my post. I’ve been trying to learn about tech, and self hosting in particular, along this journey. I found that ‘normies’ is the term that tech-savvy people apply to people who don’t know about tech - i.e. me! - and I started using it. In the sense of “these install instructions will never work with normies”.

    In this context I shouldn’t have used it to refer to people who do not care about data privacy. I’ll edit my post.

    Thank you for pointing that out!
