No thanks I’ll stick with privacy preserving digital adblocking

A billionaire who is 61 is very likely to outlive 75, even if they’re fat.

You’ve got it backwards. Of the two, Windows is closer to the open source ethos. Apple is a total control freak. Obviously both are bad, though.

Yeah, I sometimes forget that the law isn’t a code to be broken with this One Neat Trick. That goes double when you are going up against power.

The ToS forbids satirical reviews. I’d start a review by reading out this portion of the ToS and then make a list of things I hate, just saying I’m not allowed to talk about this aspect of the game, or this aspect of the game, etc, etc.

$375 million in today’s dollars would cover (adjusted for inflation) the marketing and development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop

I’ve been happy with btrfs. No issues with gaming. There’s even a pretty good Windows driver, which I’ve used successfully to transfer data between Linux & Windows. Though I haven’t installed Windows itself to btrfs, which is apparently possible!

A fingerprint is a password you leave a copy of on everything you touch.

Don’t go to https://massgrave.dev/ and follow the instructions there, that would be copyright infringement and would deprive an already insanely wealthy corporation of some funds.

I avoid gas stations that have ads. There’s a chain where I live that doesn’t do them, so they get all my business.

The meme text itself refers to “frequent” updates. Seems weird to compare apples to oranges, since release updates are not frequent. Even still, updating from buster to bookworm was relatively painless; certainly not 3 hours of reconfiguration. Before that, I was on Ubuntu, and the release updates were also painless; I remember multiple times not needing to do anything except uncomment the sources.list(.d) changes.

[edit: Another quick point. Since Debian/Ubuntu manage configuration for you to some extent, you don’t need to fix configuration files as often as you would need to on Arch, hence not needing to do ~20+ config changes for two years of updates all at once.]

I’m running 4 Debian machines, all configured to automatically update every night, and this has never happened to me.

I’m useless no matter what OS I use ;)

Fun fact (that I have heard and was not able to verify with a quick search so take this with a grain of salt): the English spoken in the US is closer to the way it was spoken in Britain in the 1700s. The gentry made an intentional change to their pronunciation in response to the rise of the middle class, which filtered down to the masses.

Is there a reason this requirement doesn’t apply to iMessage as well?

You should set up mail delivery, so when sudo reports you it reports you to you

No

Yep. But,

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/nvim <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim "$@"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim

(I haven’t tested this, that I use similar code for a different program)

It sure would be nice if flatpak bundled some functionality to do this for you, though.

I think its biggest weakness is also its biggest strength: isolation. Sometimes desktop integration doesn’t work quite right. For instance, the 1password browser extension can’t integrate with the desktop app when you use flatpak firefox.

I keep seeing this criticism, but flatpak provides a run command on its cli that works just fine. It is a little clunky though.
