@davidbrayn I use a web browser on my workstation. Most GUI clients that I've used were underwhelming and bloated. Some electron based and one GTK. The latter was light enough, but I didn't like the layout of it. The web interface is the best so far in my opinion.

@omgubuntu It's probably me in a minority, but I couldn't keep up with all the Gnome "enhancements" to the UI. I'd get used to one way then they'd change it up, sometimes not for the betterment in my opinion. So, anyone like me would have to run a bunch of extensions to improve the UI back to the way some of us liked. I eventually got weary of this and now am using Cinnamon on my desktop workstation and AntiX on my memory strained laptop. No more Gnome for me and I've been using some version of it since the late 90s. KDE before that. The excuse that memory and storage is cheap has allowed developers to create these huge monolithic OSes with huge bloat. Just rubs me the wrong way - Guess I'm getting cranky in my old age. LOL

@paulasadoorian Suspected so, but one never knows without asking.

@paulasadoorian Yeah it's funny, did he actually post that? :-)

@C_Carter_CMAS Cool! Most seem to be working too. :-)

So, my recommend for this #FollowFriday is the account of @blaine , apparently he was one of the core #Birdsite engineers, and has some interesting prespective(s) to share about social media in general.
Cheers.

Yup

In World Cup action, Canada defeated Japan 2-1. Woot!

@msprout I don't think that would ever work, you'd end up with a #FrankenDebian and no would be able to support it if you run into problems. I'd do a clean install if you can take the server offline for several minutes.
