      Typical fediverse user in that sense. It’s not exactly surprising, a self hostable social media does seem to have a lot of people who believe self hosting things is trivial.

        Yeah, it’s not the first time I’ve received a reply like that, but that was a thousand times better than the last one.

        Last time it was my comment on why I hadn’t made the switch to Linux, I couldn’t get wow to work so I went back to windows (I know, windows bad). I get a reply basically calling me an idiot and saying even his tech illiterate mother got it working on Linux, like I didn’t spend a full day trying.

        But yeah, this person was significantly more respectful and I appreciated their response. Carl seems like good people.

      Or literally sending the 1MB file over some chat app And then dragging the file into the e-reader Easier than meeting in person

        I don’t even meet in person, I just drop a box of books off at my library or thrift store. That’s typically where I buy/borrow my books from, so it’s not out of the way. Unless it’s one I think a friend would like, then I save it for the next hangout.

      Well you don’t have to host it, theres also just a desktop program where you drop your files.
