I wish Linux offered more choices.
Linux offers, forks. So many damn forks.
But original content? Not so much.

@BernieDoesIt @Catvalente there is:
- REFUSE TO RELEASE ON #iOS UNTIL THE TERMS ARE CHANGED!
As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.
- This worked with #WindowsPhone and #UWP: everyone refused to build #Apps for it and thus it died pretty quickly.
And if you want to say that's not an option, take a look at #AltStore which automates all the necessary work to perpetually #sideload any #App on iOS in a noob-friendly way.
Remember: "Everyone else does it" never was and never will be a valid excuse for any shit system!
- Also you could just refuse to offer the sales on Apple's platform and add any "#Premium Features" post-launch with your own payment & licensing infrastructure. If you're big enough or small enough you may get away with it. #NotLegalAdvice
Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.
And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!

Looks like I did well on the mandatory anonymous survey that students do about teachers: 4.5 points out of 5, on average. 
Got some nice comments, too. (translated some of them in the alt text)

Here's something I find rather #annoying when it comes to #operatingsystems and their public image. I had to install both Windows and Linux on a machine, and I want you to determine which was #userfriendly #Windows and which is #Linux:
OS 1:
Attempt to download the ISO from the manufacturer's website
Get through all of the prompts just to be denied the download
Realize that your adblocker is causing the manufacturer's website to see you as a threat, so you turn it off
Still denied
Realize that your LAN's DNS server which also blocks ads is causing the problem too, so you turn it off
STILL DENIED
Use a completely different browser and get it downloaded
Run the installer, but it sees no disk drives in the machine
IRST must be loaded before the installer will continue
"Driver install error"
Find a 3 year old copy of an ISO because you're a pack-rat data hoarder
Finally get it installed
Spend the next 6 hours updating
OS 2:
Download from manufacturer using torrents, utilizing all of your bandwidth
Install OS

2/ This is why I have never been a fan of Linux, people should be writing their own OSs 
As an aside, I found this #USENET thread with some familiar names from 1987 about porting Minix to the Atari - I assume that would have been the ST then.

1/ Just because, here's my LSI-11 desktop - It works, they used much better capacitors in those days.
Way back when, the LSI-11 was often used to teach people Operating Systems and Compiler Design, and in my CS degree in 1986 we'd fiddle with MINIX on these things, and deal with re-writing different low-level UNIX things. Life was much easier with only 50 instructions to work with.
Researching WebDAV based solutions for publishing new blog content going forward.
The server side is easy (built-in on my web host). On the client side it's quickly becoming clear OS level support for mounting the content as a disk / drive is the way forward:
On Windows it's as simple as mapping a drive, I'm sure Linux and macOS are similar... But built in Android or iOS support... no surprises really that just isn't a thing!
Hackaday: Nice PDF, But Can It Run Linux? Yikes!. “The days that PDFs were the granny-proof Swiss Army knives of document sharing are definitely over, according to [vk6]. He has managed to pull off the ultimate mind-bender: running Linux inside a PDF file. Yep, you read that right. A full Linux distro chugging along in a virtual machine all encapsulated within a document.”
