So, let me get this straight.
ChromeOS is essentially Linux but all locked down so the user has very little control over the environment.
And now Google is all cheering to roll out Linux application support?
Like, you stole my ice cream and then gave back the soggy cone, and that makes you excited?
What dicks.
All of that to say:
Whoever you are, you should probably write more if you feel like it. Don't worry about "not being unique" or that you're "just copying something better". Write *especially* if you feel an outsider, intimidated by better writers, "not really plugged into the loop".
Your set of influences and interests is probably weird and varied enough that whatever comes out will be strange and new and uncopyable - even more so if you felt distant and on the fringe in some way.
A quick reminder of how efficient the free market is.

Silicon Valley thinks we are in a moment of “anti-tech sentiment”
Loooool no we just finally woke up the masses to the San Francisco business model. Notice that nobody’s mad at Intel! Nobody’s complaining about how VLC killed a woman testing some machinery. Nobody thinks propaganda in Mint Linux tainted a presidential election. No buddy that’s an anti-corruption sentiment you’re catching. You have a corrupted business model.

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.
A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."
People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.
Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
#Scuttlebutt is amazing, both conceptually and in practice. But the lack of a stable mobile app is devastating. So I think I'm gonna learn how to make Android apps so I can try to help.
Today's lesson: Medium is bad. They've suspended our account and blocked access to all our published stories for bogus reasons and with only 12 hours notice.
So, I write and perform poems. Have been for a really long time now. And whenever I write poems, I prefer to do it with pen and paper because it feels more intimate and its how I'm most comfortable.
But I spend far more time on computers, which means lots of typing. And every now and then, my poor typing bleeds into my handwriting and I literally write typos.
Its seriously fucking with my creative flow today.
hey shout up if you're on #scuttlebutt
I wonder what #Hubzilla is all about.

Well, that answers that.

Are people using Nextcloud Talk?
"We should punish drug dealers with the death penalty to curb the opiod crisis."
"Okay. Fentanyl and oxycontin are opiods. So, guillotine for pharma executives?"
