Luckily, the kid won't have to. I never use it, and maybe don't remember it. I do use my own writing system, which started as an "improved" English alphabet, that I wanted to be universally adopted, but in 3 + decades, no one else has shown any interest in learning. So now it's a secret writing system, but I use it all the time. So take that future readers of my notes! 😅 <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/conlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conlang</span></a></p>

skribe 🇺🇦 :verified_mustard:<p>After reading a thread on Lemmy about Flatpaks, I was reminded of a frustrating incident.</p><p>For those that don't know, I'm a Conlanger. I construct my own languages. For this, I use many tools including one called PolyGlot, that allows me to create and store a lexicon for each of my languages.</p><p>I've been using PolyGlot for many years, and as I run Linux the only way to install and update the app was to download the deb for each update. Fortunately, there was a 'check for updates' under the about section that would automagically take you to the download page.</p><p>For much of the time I've been using the app, it's been mostly programmed by one guy. As a result, updates only happen every year. So, I'd only use the check for updates when I remembered.</p><p>Recently, the developer has received some help, and there has been some big changes. All good. The release schedule has improved considerably.</p><p>So one day, I check for updates, and there's an update. I'm taken to the page to download the latest deb, download it, and it won't install. There's a dependency missing on my system. I file a bug report, and next day I receive an apology for the mess-up, and this....</p><p>"Why don't you install the flatpak instead?"</p><p>WHAT FUCKING FLATPAK? I ask.</p><p>Yes, they've been releasing a flatpak for about a year, and didn't bother to tell established users about it. While it's mentioned on the main page, there's no reference to it on the download page. The only one I visit (every year or so).</p><p>So, now I use the flatpak, and it automagically updates by itself. Which is great, but still frustrating that I could have been doing this for a year longer. At least they now mention flatpaks on the download/update page.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PolyGlot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PolyGlot</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ConLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConLang</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FlatPak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlatPak</span></a></p>
