Who is doing that? In my experience, “web apps” are on the web or occasionally on desktop and are fine. Slack for example, is a fabulous desktop app and has used web tech from day one to great success
Vs code is an exemplary app and supports what I’m saying. As far as others…what’s the right amount of complexity for using electron? Imo the maintenance advantages alone almost justify using it. It’s not appropriate for every app but slack and vs code are pretty stellar examples of how well it can work.
I think it’s pretty easy to understand: “I do not care to hear about it”. they never once said “it doesn’t bother me to hear about and this post proves that”
So you’re implying there exists a distro that is perfect and never breaks anything? Sounds like denial. Having time shift in place is risk management and says nothing about the distro, which btw all are imperfect and may break eventually. Kinda confused how one can run Linux and be unaware of how complex and fallible ALL software is.
That’s not an accurate portrayal of anything though. You’re implying risk management means you’re accepting that the system sucks and the only way to keep it running is to have a backup system.
That’s not what anyone is doing. They are acknowledging the flawed nature of software and humanity in general and guarding against the consequences of this. It’s being smart. Name one distro that has never broken with updates? You cannot because there obviously couldn’t exist one.
Okay what distros are we talking about? What’s an example of an unreliable one and what’s a reliable one?
I think it’s much more complicated than this. Honestly there’s a reason it took decades for Linux distros in general to get as stable as they are today. It’s really really hard to build an operating system.
I think a better analogy for installing updates on linux would be riding a motorcycle. Accidents happen all the time. They’re bound to, be prepared. Just because you can ride for 30 years unscathed doesn’t mean you can take that for granted.
Ya know, this is super interesting you mention Arch. The only person I’ve known IRL who uses and loves Arch champions it hardcore but with the caveat that you have to be okay with things breaking due to the rolling release model. Due to his guidance I have avoided arch specifically. I’ve been running Ubuntu based distros a couple of years and only had issues with updates breaking things like 2 times… Both of which didn’t require a wipe or anything.
I might be confused. I thought that the distro itself was made up of packages and that’s what all updates did: update various packages bundled with the distro (plus any you installed yourself)
If you’re provided a tool that solves a problem, I don’t really get ignoring that and continuing to focus on that solved problem as if it weren’t solved because you think all the tools should solve it on principle
I can sort of get down with what you’re saying, but on the other hand, we all have design constraints, inside and outside of programming, I think this is a very minor one
One particular over privileged couple of people don’t catch my eye at all for any other reason either, except when they are spreading hate or something like that. Weird to think everyone does notice or care what celebrities do. I honestly have no idea who his wife is or why I would know she’s abused.
I so agree. I admit there are a few celebrities that I like so much that I’d be interested in their life story a bit, but I’m absolutely not following news about them or really even interested in their kids or who they married. Even though those things are a part of them, I would be interested in their earlier life more – how did they become this person? Having said that, most biographies I have read have been snoozefests, sadly. Even when the person is insanely fascinating in an interview about their work, hearing about how they spent their summer in 1968 isn’t usually the most riveting story…
I don’t think anyone would really even remember if he hadn’t written hAmBeRdEr. No one was talking for weeks about how this incident clearly made him an inappropriate president. We laughed and moved on for the most part. Not remotely the same as the tan suit “incident”.
I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…...
