This is a CDE on Mageia 9. It took me several hours and consultations with friendly people on Mageia forums to make it work.
CDE is very archaic so I had to rebuild the whole Motif library reverting some recent patches before compiling CDE itself. My tiny HP Stream 14 laptop with Intel N3060 CPU had a hard time building this monstrosity.
Now the hardest part comes: figuring out why I did this and what do I actually do with it.

I don't know if people are aware of this Firefox addon that brings discoverability for personal websites that have identity confirmation links to Mastodon profiles: StreetPass for Mastodon.

It's pretty good, it allowed me to find quite a number of people based on incidentally reading their blogs.

and this "build instead of buy" approach is sort of the opposite of what a lot of people see as the point of open source, which is to build a commons but also, that "commons" is at *least* duplicated across permissive/viral licenses some duplication is good actually
