For example today I wanted to add a “start menu” shortcut to a program I had downloaded.

I get what you're saying, but this is like "I tried to use Linux like it was Windows, and it was hard." It's a different OS. Go on, move the taskbar of Windows 11 to the left or right edges of the screen. I can do that on Linux, why can't I do that on Windows? It's not even hard, it's just plain impossible. If you try to do things manually in Linux, it's not going to be intuitive. It will feel like editing the Registry in Windows. Unintuitive and like arcane magic.

The lead developer certainly doesn't. He maintains that it's got several systems in production.

I'll change my car from a Ford to Firestone.

If you like science, mander is a great instance that is broadly federated. And you get a cool science feed on your local filter to boot.

While countries like Brazil, Mexico, and India have privacy laws on paper, enforcement is weak, allowing both domestic and foreign vendors to deploy invasive technologies unchecked.

So they're doing just as well as the US?

Back in the days before git, I worked on a small software+hardware startup with ~ 10 people. We used Trac very successfully to do project management. I know it's been updated to mesh with git. You could set up roadmaps, track issues (which can be linked to code or not), tracked hours (using a plugin), and keep our internal KB in the integrated Wiki. There was a Trac Hack for everything we wanted.

I don't recall which Gantt plugin we used, but there's a few options: https://trac-hacks.org/tags/gantt

We didn't use kanban back then, again, options: https://trac-hacks.org/tags/kanban

One could say it's their fiduciary duty.

F-Droid seems to manage it just fine. It's even got reproducible builds.

Why didn't they write this instead of the BS above?
