Not correct. I have clients in their 60s who are using Fedora just for online shopping and the occasional document edit. Everything worked perfectly fine out of the box. Only had to tweak libraoffice to save in docx by default and that’s about it.

If only bluesky supported activity pub. It would be useful as trying to get people to follow it even though its a 2 click process is only challenge. Especially when it’s to someone who not technologically minded.

Networking effect for you

That’s why Facebook were able to buy Instagram and WhatsApp without issue.

This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.

I think I’m sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Have Facebook not heard of the Internet? Anyone can right click save as.

I am very skeptical that Facebook is doing federated to be nice, only to keep digital markets act off Facebooks back.

Networking effect

Mastodon required people to join a server which made out to people who are used to signing up to a single website for the past 20 years or such, seam too complex.

You also end up in a situation where social media managers have to reach engagement and impression targets and don’t think which is best platform that will not be taken over Elon musk or Mark Zuckerberg style, but which will reach engagement targets the quickest.

Thunderbird is very nice and lightweight compared with outlook. Picks up email settings more quicker and is much simpler to use than outlook. Recommended to all my clients.

Especially 3D objects

I did a look into this. softmaker is best when it comes to compatibility of displaying files. Wps office is ok, but some text would be on top of others. I did find that there is a free version of softmaker, which should be ok.

I use lucky backup to mirror to external drive. And I also use Duplicacy to back up 2 other separate drives at the same time. Have a read on the data hoarder wiki on backups.
