NGL wishing quote posts were a thing here already BECAUSE I can only boost other people's posts (then comment on it or vice versa) which I find to be not very user-friendly from a design perspective.

With quote posts, I can re-post a person's OG stat, event, tidbit, insight and add my own about it (kinda like how LinkedIn has "Repost with your thoughts which is refreshing).

Giving folx options on repost by having something similar (repost vs. repost with your thoughts) is this designer's preference #MondayMusing #Fediverse #UserFriendly

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
