the last part is not true, apt installs things natively. Ubuntu software (the graphical app store) uses snap, however

I stand corrected. The apt packages on Ubuntu sometimes just install snaps under the hood. really strange move by Canonical

I’m sorry you’re having such a bad experience. It should be as simple as uninstalling in the Ubuntu store, and then reinstalling either using apt or flatpak. Is the uninstall not working?

that would be really weird. snap install firefox or clicking “Install” in Ubuntu Software installs the snap, apt install firefox installs from the apt repositories

I strongly think that OP is trolling ITT, but if someone seriously thinks this is an argument for gambling, I recommend checking out some introductory stochastics concepts, starting with expectation values

That’s actually because it’s slowing earths rotation down! So as the moon moves away, days get longer down here. If the earth and moon were tidally locked, it would stop gaining distance

Because their local correspondents have been killed by Israel. Look it up, Israel has been responsible for the vast majority of journalists’ deaths last year, in only three months.

Who knows, at some point we might figure out how to stop/reverse aging, so your chance of dying (in the foreseeable future) is not 100%, only very close to it

You must unmount the drive before formatting. And also know that formatting wipes the drive, so if there is anything on there you want to keep, back it up beforehand

It’s not required, it’s really a matter of preference. Many users, me included, prefer having access to the newest features and bug fixes right away, but that also means less time to test the code for new bugs.

For another example, look at Debian vs. Arch Linux and how they are released

I’m honestly fine if this is the default for beginner distros, as long as it’s easy to disable and there is still a way to get to the logs

I may be wrong, but you could use : &;: & as well, but using the pipe reduces the amount of characters by two (or three, counting whitespace)

It’s a failed html escape sequence for &

some lemmy instances were having trouble with that for a while now. html used ampersand to encode special characters, and a regular ampersand gets encoded as &

Somehow, the decoding sometimes breaks, and we get to see it the way it is here

so, we got a racist slur, homophobic slur, anti feminism and a whole bunch of unironic uses of cuck and soy. you should really delete this, this is embarrassing

There isn’t a Nobel prize for economics, at least not really. The swedish central bank made their own price, to be awarded by the Nobel foundation
