Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
Apple Watch cellular, which I really like. I got a Speidel Twist-O-Flex watch band that’s even easier for daily use than the bands that come with them. I like having all the health and fitness data but it’s also just nice to not need my phone.
One example of not needing a phone I really like is having Apple Pay on it. If you’re out jogging or your phone dies or something, you can still use it to pay. It’s also nice at festivals and arenas and other places where you’re just trying to pay quickly. You don’t have to dig out your phone or wallet.
I prefer them. There’s trade-offs (like disk usage and occasional theme issues) but it’s worth it to me for the sandboxing and ability to easily run a newer version of an application than your distro has packaged up in their repos. It’s better for developers since they don’t have to support deb, rpm, etc. etc. And long term, it’ll allow immutable systems to become the default and that’ll be good for security and stability.
Between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage, I default to Flatpak. It seems like the best supported even if they all have their strengths and weaknesses. AppImage is great for old versions of software you don’t want updated/integrated into menus. Snaps are basically the same and I happily use them if there’s no Flatpak but it’s so tied to Ubuntu/Canonical that some people have opinions about using it. I don’t know of any developer stubbornly refusing to support Flatpak on ideological grounds.
Chain restaurants are sort of rare where I live (NOLA) but Dat Dog is pretty good. You basically pick a type of sausage and the toppings but the sausages are good and the toppings can involve everything from ketchup to crawfish étouffée. It’s like if a hot dog place but obviously way better.
Remember when Homey D. Clown pretended to sell out and join the establishment but PLOT TWIST: it was “All part of Homey’s master plan just to bop The Man.”
If you’re using Google Analytics, check out “consent mode.” You still need a banner but it can be super simple — there’s probably a plugin for your blogging platform.
You’re only required to have one if you’re in the EU or are actively targeting an EU audience. You can have EU visitors to your blog without having to worry about GDPR. (And in reality, they aren’t going to come after a personal blog using basic analytics. They fine companies doing egregious things where the fine is worth the effort.)
I’m pretty sure Fedora Core 4 was my first Linux daily driver. I love distro hopping but I always end up back on Fedora when I have a big project to work on and I just want vanilla Gnome, my developer tools, and no surprises.
Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

What has been your experience with Flatpak?
I’ve been involved with Linux for a long time, and Flatpak almost seems too good to be true:...
