The problem is that many domestic users enjoy zero-training
appliances at home and, as a result, will demand everything
else being zero-training (and will regard anything which is
not as outdated tech).
Also, I have found the people who uses a smartphone or a
tablet instead of a regular computer are usually in the
Very Very Poor demographic bracket, of the sort who barely
manages to pay for rent. I think many of these would have a
regular system if they could afford one.
..I don't need a social network where everybody is in. I
need a communication platform where my friends are. If my
friends are at some small IRC server I host under my bed I
need no Twitter :-) Besides, silo-styled platforms are a
step backwards. A good plaform should be able to link you
with friends who are at different platforms, pretty much
the same way you can talk to a gmail user using any other
email provider.
That said, I despise MacOS due to Apple's general "do it our way or piss off" attitude (that Microsoft seems to have adopted lately). I no longer own any Macs or Apple products because of my disdain for their inflated prices and walled garden approach to apps. Android isn't much better these days, sadly.
I just tried again now, and no luck.
ssh newuser@grex.org doesn't work.
I just logged in. The machine is up; last rebooted three
days ago. I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell you; have
you tried logging in from a different IP address? Perhaps
you're on a blacklisted IP block for some reason.
