I'm on here looking for text indexers and everything is 'lightning fast exoscale terafloops that scales to enterprise quantawarbles with polytopplic performanations' and it would be great if this industry could breathe into a bag until it remembers that one person with one computer is a constituency that matters.

@mhoye Aside from being (I am reasonably certain) a line from Red Dwarf, you make a very good point.

When my parents moved from Windows to Linux some years back, it was not about the open source or the creative commons that convinced it was a good move, it was cost, ease of use and ease of maintenance.

@plwt Ubuntu no longer has the word "human" on their homepage and I put a few seconds into feeling sad about that every other week.
@mhoye True, but all is not completely lost - https://ubuntu.com/community I understand that they are looking to rejuvenate their community and there is certainly one person there (I was fortunate to meet before they joined Canonical) who has the experience to see that happen.
