If you’re trying to get ancient software to work I think “user friendliness” is the least of your concerns. Especially compared to the alternative (Windows) where the answer is just, “No: That’s not going to work no matter what you do.”

Yes, install your 25-year-old software on your 30-year-old NTFS filesystem (it’s that old).
EDIT: I just looked it up and NTFS turns 30 on July 27th, 2023 LOL
Listen, if the recipe says add a clove of garlic add three. If it says add a “dash” of garlic powder put like half a cup in there. You can never have enough garlic!
If you’re not going to be sweet at least be savory and add some garlic!
I don’t know about you but I subscribed to /m/piracy for the anti-establishment commentary 👍
Always root for the little guy! 😁
AT THE TONE THE TIME WILL BE 12:49 AND 50 SECONDS. BEEP!
No thanks. I like my internet time sync and GPS navigation.
Not sure about the optics of Reddit force-reenabling a subreddit devoted to piracy LOL
I don’t think Google cares if the Fediverse succeeds or not. All they care about is that it can be indexed and people will be able to show Google ads on their instances.
Google doesn’t have a Reddit equivalent or even any other social network competitor (anymore; they killed them all). They explicitly chose to exit that entire concept of products.
The only reason XMPP mattered to Google at the time was they were trying to compete with Apple for messaging on mobile devices. XMPP meant that Android devices using Google Hangouts/Chat/Gmail could chat with users on other platforms/services while Apple’s chat app could only do SMS.
I guess what I’m saying is that Google is mostly irrelevant from the perspective of the Fediverse other than the fact that it can index and maybe give priority to discussions of certain products/topics like it does with Reddit currently.
