Defaults matter a lot, snap is not open source (client is, backend isn't), you cannot "just modify it (Ubuntu)" to use a different store, because Ubuntu installs snaps even with apt. Mint is not part of the discussion.

by npteljes 1y ago
Yes, same. I started with Ubuntu back in the day, because the server I inherited ran Ubuntu, and it was just natural after that for me to run it on the desktop as well. I grew to dislike their NIH over the years, tried distro hopping, and s

Yes, I agree. Snaps or Flatpak, not much of a practical, technological difference. What sets them apart is the way the distribution is handled, including the open source availability of the backend, which enabled for example Red Hat and Ele

Defaults matter a lot, and snaps are the default in Ubuntu. The topic is not whether snaps are avoidable or not, but the Ubuntu is going downhill. And snaps are purported to be part of that downhill, which would be Ubuntu's NIH syndrom

I loved the idea of Sandstorm as well, but ended up moving my stuff to Proxmox and TurnKey Linux. TKL is a similar idea to Sandstorm, but on the container level, so what you download are LXC images, ready to go after a minimum of user-frien

So why did they muddy the water with "without being asked"? Grok was kinda asked. And the problem is not the asking or not in the first place, it's that it's easily possible to generate those images. It's the headli

Yes, I see your point. Apple and the Safari lock-in might be a bad thing, but doing that away will only result in Chrome everywhere.

Yeah, Firefox is on life support.

Brave is also contributing to the Chrome monoculture, same as how the Android forks are contributing to the Android culture. The base projects are so large that no team will do a proper job updating it if, or when, the source project stops

Yes, it's not different from a workaholic for example. So in this vein, not on topic, because it's not about the license. Still, it's a good lesson, and is technically an answer to "regretting open-sourcing something&quo

Apple's Safari is unfortunately not keeping away the Web from being a Chrome monoculture.

Yeah, basically MIT is "more open" in the short term, while GPL is more open on the long term. GPL, while restricting some freedoms right now, is actually enabling the remaining freedoms to be sustainable in the future. Very simil

Just in case you (or someone reading) doesn't know the technical details, private keys are distinctly different from passwords, on how they work to authenticate the user. In case of an online login, a password travels to the server, an

This one is a such a bad photoshop too! The box's text is clearly AI generated, with an older model, and the "Autopilot crash data" is imposed on it with an image editing tool. Really cheap looking.

Common channels can also work nice, but sometimes there is a vocal few who absolutely dominates them, and then the other people won't participate at all. The idea in TFA is to everyone have their own channel, where others cannot start

Store your archive encrypted, and then later you can decide if you share the password or not :)

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. To be honest, I'm relieved that I don't have even a fraction of that responsibility.

I think it's not about the truth in that message, but rather how the message is delivered, and how the kernel of truth is planted into what context. For example, the same message could be told by referring to respect instead of fear. &

In this domain, things change so fast that I decided to just focus on my next phone, or like the following 2-3 years. The future is as bleak for the custom ROMs as is their past. They are aftermarket modifications of the phone software, ent

This fully matches my experience, and my conclusions as well. I'd add that I often don't get to pick whether the logic will be more on the ORM side, or on the DB side. I end up not caring either - just pick a side. Either the DB b

I see the assault, but the results are very different from what we can see with Steam and itch.io - I think maybe because of how much M/V matter in the West vs. Japan. Whereas these western companies gave in to pressure, the same press

No, it's not about their freedom to haggle you, it's about their duty to haggle you. And by implying a correct way to live, you also do actually impose that on others, even though on the face, it looks like you are granting pe
