I would imagine most production rails applications don't use sqlite as the backing database.

It just works on newer distros in my experience. There's no config or anything, including with containerization like flatpak.

Because of how risk pooling works. The reason you have health insurance, and you don't just pay for healthcare, is because pooling together a lot of people and paying for all of them is cheaper than paying for each individually. You&#x

That's because health insurance in the US sucks major ass. It's just bad, period. More expensive for comparatively much worse care and worse outcomes on Average. Americans (I'm an American) sometimes have a preconceived notio

This is true, but it's much less of a concern because: 1. You get way less faxes than emails. 2. Faxes can't steal credentials. 3. You should be auditing expenses anyway.

I agree, but IMO they should already have this done if the API is properly designed. It might not be, but if so they should change it anyway.

Its comparatively much more open, with interface and protocols specified and open source firmware implementations widely used in the wild. I'm also including BIOs/UEFI in this. ARM and phone manufacturing is a hot mess in comparis

The root-cause of all of this isn't evil government, or data analytics, or joins, or even evil company. Its data collection. Its privacy. If were waiting around for the day people start acting ethically, we'll experience the heat

But that's not even close to the argument you made. Also, you're confusing markets here. We're not talking about the smartphone market. We're talking about the market of apple accessories. Apple solely controls that mark

They don't even have to reply, just make a note on your footer or something or have a page you can link to that explains it. I've done this before

They would never do this willingly, because they don't want you to automatically opt out of tracking. The annoyance of the cookie banners is the entire draw for companies. Its not a downside. They're user-hostile. You are their en

We don't need the functional/tracking cookie split - the law already thought of this. If you're using functional cookies, you don't have to ask. If you're still asking, you're just wasting your time. The reason

Yes, this sounds good. This sounds like something desirable. I mean, this is the expectation literally everywhere else so... why not the web? Also, data collection is fully a choice. You can always choose not to. I've built websites wi

The problem is every filesystem can experience data corruption. That doesn't tell us anything about how it relates to BTRFS. Also, filesystems just work. Nobody is gonna say "oh I'm using fileystem X and it works!" becau

They should stop doing that then and use standards like everyone else. If their protocol is really the bees knees, then just open it. But, they won't, because they rely on that moat to keep competitors out. It's exactly the same a

It's not a monopoly because if this other theoretical company which does not exist existed then there would be more than one option and it wouldn't be a monopoly. Not very convincing.

It's more complicated then this. Apple is a big company with a lot of money - they're absolutely willing to burn millions in the pursuit of principle. The reality is that, if Apple conforms non-maliciously, they're proving th

The API already exists, they just don't let other people use it because they're greedy. There's no additional maintenance burden.

I put them on the same container, basically. I bundle my PHP binaries, modules, and tooling all together and then use it on container. It defeats the purpose a bit, but it keeps the system clean. No NPM packages cluttering everything, no co

In practice, desktops and servers are quiet secure because you don't need to download random closed-source firmware and apps to use your device. iOS and Android are a security nightmare. Downloading a random-ass executable to pay for p

The trouble with videos is you can just... choose not to include stuff that obviously refutes your argument. The reality is that global warming is definitely happening, and also the Earth is definitely not flat. But it's pretty easy to

The window manager in windows is horribly buggy and extremely slow. Lots of animation flickering and snapping for seemingly no reason. Try maximizing Firefox while a video is playing and watch the animation - or, usually, lack thereof. Wayl

This is my reality too and the taskbar takes some stuff down with it. Also the taskbar is just broken in general. It'll pull tons of apps behind the '...' button even though there's plenty of room on the taskbar and it&#

None of this is a problem on Debian stable. I even run discord as a Flatpak - screen share works fine. I believe there's systems for that now (way pipe? xdg stuff?) Ubuntu 24.04 is older than Debian stable currently.

Is this true? I was under the impression windows wasn't able to decompress zip files natively till very recently, like windows 11. I could be remembering wrong.

That's the entire draw of Flatpak - I can have applications with out of sync libraries and they just work. That's a big big headache with system provided packages.
