I’ve helped two “normies” movie this week because they reached out after they saw the chatter on social (Instagram of all places).

This topic seems to be causing you some stress for something that probably doesn’t have a big impact on you personally.

This isn’t going to be a tidal wave as change is slow. People are hyping it because hype drives attention and being hopeful and positive drives change better than negativity and pessimism.

Again, just scroll past the posts rather than engage if the content isn’t what you’re interested in.

You may be getting bored of the posts but this is a rare opportunity to mass drive Linux adoption and break many people’s dependence on Microsoft.

Even if it’s 0.1%, there’s 1.4 billion Windows 10 machines out there. A million+ new Linux users would be great progress.

If you’re exhausted, just scroll on by. But if you’re a fan and user of FOSS, you should be giving these posts a quick upvote and move on with your day rather than be negative and dissuading the popularisation on Linux.

I’m sure there’s a decent fork. Read the code; there’s not much to it!

If you’re on the same network, take a look at snapdrop. It’s basically cross platform AirDrop.

What’s the context in which you’re needing to share files?

My first thought is host your own FTP server and send people credentials to log into it with and upload.

If this passes, piracy websites can rebrand as AI training material websites and we can all run a crappy model locally to train on pirated material.
