This is so annoying. These people got rich by living in a society that gives them language, concepts, ideas, a rich foundation of knowledge to draw from, social stability. All this requires a social contract whose benefits they are willing

> I think we are arguing past each other :) You might be right there. :D I just remembered that "base image" in Flatpak lingo is a "runtime."

Well, it's about time. While I cherish free speech and don't condone deplatforming e.g. political speech, the whole anti-vacination hysteria has caused enough harm at this point. We need to improve education and scientific literac

Honestly, except for massive preservation efforts, Koalas are probably going to where Dodos went before them. But not to worry, they'll be in very good company. The predatory ecosystem exploitation we've been living and breathing

Slight correction; updates in the base image don't need a rebuild, so everything that you don't specifically add to the Flatpak can be upgraded independently of your application. Otherwise; yes. It's a new package that depend

It's not working. So many distros are missing out on any number of packages because there is not enough manpower to package all the various software in an arbitrary number of ways. That's why many projects gave up on packaging sof

OP is not a physicist and Sabine is able to break down the problems and issues with many of the scientific and unscientific theories that are thrown around so that even a layperson can follow the rational. So, I get the drift of the article

Interesting read. But I'll wait for what Sabine has to say about it. :D

I guess you'll always have some kind of supportive administration (aka "The Deep State") that will have to carry along institutional knowledge, that will mitigate the worst. It would be nice however to have some mechanism tha

But that's the problem of the market. The fuel would not go to the people that need it the most, it will just go to the people that can afford to pay the most. Market allocations happen not on need but on liquidity. In that aspect it&#

And it's going to get much worse. According to the IPCC report[0], we're overshooting the 1.5°C target by another 1.5°C. That is; if we're careful and immediately take action. Which it doesn't look like. Instead of hitti

Yes, indeed. That's the idea behind libadwaita; if you are using it, you are buying into Gnome theming. If you don't want Gnome theming, don't use libadwaita. You can still use and theme Gtk all you want, but libadwaita will

This might be relevant: In 2019 at Guadec there was a meeting between interested parties with regards to theming.[0] This was the meeting where the current direction of Gnome theming was decided on[1][2]. System76 was obviously (see[0]) a p

I really like Steven Pinker's work. And while I agree that quality of life has immensely improved over the last ten decades with reduced poverty and reduced child mortality and improved health, I just wish he could provide similar data

I'm not sure there will be anyplace to survive the upheaval. Civil wars will spill over to regional wars and pretty soon everyone is involved in one conflict or another. What would be your suggestion?
