caseyweederman,

Haha, to look deep? Same here.

caseyweederman,

You can sort and filter it.

More generally, are you questioning why the Top category of tools exists?

caseyweederman,

There’s a deb in Ubuntu Universe.
Oh heck, it’s in Debian Bookworm too, and Bullseye-Backports.
Debs all around.

caseyweederman,

Switch is that perfect sweet spot right in the middle. Very versatile.

caseyweederman,

Por que no los dos?

caseyweederman,

Politeness and dignity are just as much for yourself as for the recipient.

caseyweederman,

Linus swore that Bitkeeper wouldn’t alter the agreement further, like a mad egotistical movie villain.
Canonical is very clearly funneling their userbase towards a Snap-only environment (something that already exists as an option).
As the sole keyholders, and as a for-profit business, what is the next step?

Is it to maintain a wealth of options, even when that cuts into profit margins? What about when those options are competing products (think Gnome and KDE back in the Unity days)?
These things just do not make sense from a business perspective, and they will not be necessary once their userbase is locked into the Snap walled garden.

As to your point about licenses and market share, default non-options and limited choices aren’t compatible with conversations about choice.

caseyweederman,

I looked into it. You’re right.
They implemented the ability to permanently hold all automatic updates.
After five years of debate during which they consistently claimed that the whole point of Snaps is that developers can push whatever, whenever.

caseyweederman,

I love the idea of developers getting paid. Let’s do more of that.

caseyweederman,

“Use Snaps”
“No” (installs .deb)
“Fuck you, use Snaps”
(The Snap Store is a proprietary closed-source black-box that updates your snaps without asking and every part of this statement was a deliberate planned feature by Canonical)

Distro for experienced Linux user

Hi, I’m looking for a distro for my laptop. My first distro was Pop!_OS, then I switched to Fedora, then Arch for a year and 2 months ago I switched to Fedora Silverblue, because I wanted to try immutable distro that relies on containers and flatpaks to be usefull. Silverblue is great but not so much for me, its not flexible...

caseyweederman,

That looks sharp, thank you.

caseyweederman,

NixOS isn’t coming very naturally to me. Just can’t quite grasp it.

caseyweederman,

Ah

Presently, the transplanted eye is not communicating with the brain through the optic nerve.

caseyweederman,

caseyweederman,

caseyweederman,

What is a 'droid but a miserable pile of circuits

caseyweederman,

I haven’t had to touch xorg.conf in many years

caseyweederman,

Does Element X have homeserver support? I tried to connect to mine and it said “naw”

caseyweederman,

sudo rm -fr /* is short for sudo rm --for-real /*
