I think it peaked at Mint 17. I've had my hands on it less than an hour and a half, there are fit & finish bugs and oversights everywhere, machine is crashy and I am suspicious of noveau bugs but driver manager offers no way to install the proprietary drivers I already told the installer to install, and vim is offered in the software manager as a fucking flatpak. I think I'm done. #LinuxMint #LinuxMint19

(cont) I don't agree with the seemingly reactionary stance against nearly every discoverability feature idea that's tossed around, nor do I agree that algorithms are never useful in this context and that all discovery must be 100.0% organic. IMO that's just not realistic. Mastodon is a firehose, and people have limited time.

What about a happy medium with unobtrusive algorithmic onboarding & suggestions which tail off over time as a new user's engagement grows? (cont)

#Facebook is getting utterly torn to shreds in the press over this latest debacle with #CambridgeAnalytica. It's about damn time. It's been plastered above the fold on every site I've looked at for a couple days at least, and I just hopped in the car to go buy an ethernet cable and BBC world is doing a special on it. One of my friends has already deleted their account.
