Have you tried using Bottles? It’s a front-end for Wine that makes configuration easier: LINK

Bluesky is a lot easier to use fresh out of the box. Even though their feature set is quite similar, Mastadon has a clunky and confusing UI, and still lacks a native iPad app-- instead they offer a poorly ported iPhone app.

That’s led to more people using Bluesky, and it snowballs from there.

I got my first AI telemarketer, and that sucked.

I realized pretty quickly that it wasn’t a real person, but my elderly neighbor didn’t. She told me how bad she felt just hanging up on this “person,” but she just couldn’t get them off the line. (I told her I had the same experience, and I’ll warn her about AI Robots at a different time- I didn’t want to make her feel foolish.)

It doesn’t bother me that it’s made in China, it bothers me that it’s shipping from China.

I’m careful to check now, but in the past I’ve accidentally ordered products through Amazon that were actually third-party China-based corporations. More often than not I didn’t get the product and had to jump through hoops to get a refund.

I’m considering it, but I’m leery of a pre-order from China.

I would use it primarily as an e-reader and a chat client. I use a desktop for my heavy duty computing.
