  • Yeah depending on your hardware things like that can still happen sometimes. I don’t think it’s a lot more common than on other OSes. It’s especially not really usual for something as basic as network drivers to misbehave though, especially suddenly. For what it’s worth, my experience trying to use Zotero on Windows on both MS word and LibreOffice writer was also a glitchy mess. Anyway, hope you try it again another time when you are under a bit less pressure and it works out better for you then.















  • No, I don’t think that’s sustainable, nor is it sustainable to act as if it were true. Given the lack of resources we have compared to Google or Meta et al., the only way to make it work is to stick with something for the long run, and bake in protections in both the technology and the organisational structure. Being opensource and federated goes a long way there, there’s no real reason why something not for profit would have to enshittify. But people won’t put in the effort to keep building it if they think that’s inevitable.
