@jasonnab I think most cards use exFAT these days, and I was including exFAT in that statement. 🙂

@jasonnab @ajroach42 Full-sized SD cards are basically what I expected the medium of the future would be back in the day.

I did expect we would move beyond FAT as a file system though.

@AbbieNormal @vidak It’s an experiment in making a desktop Linux with immutable system directories.

It’s kind of how containers or Alpine Linux in data mode work. There is a base, and there are layers on top of the base which contain software additions and configurations. For updates, the base gets written then switched on reboot, and all of the layers get applied to the new base.

@wolf480pl @BalooUriza @fribbledom So true. It’s an accurate way to gauge how invested a person is in getting a solution.

If a person asks twice, it’s important, and we need to prioritize it.
If a person asks once, it might be important, and we should triage it.
If a person doesn’t ask, it’s probably not important, and we’ll ask about it when we get around to it. 😆

@lightweight @theruran Indeed. Unfortunately capitalism has created systems that require lots of specialized knowledge to maintain and evolve. Computers are not user friendly or accessible to the 90% who aren’t part of the tech elite.

I will also admit to paying for software, primarily open source, to get support or because it works better then FOSS applications and I need to get work done.
