In think it comes from flathub not having many cli applications in it. I’d love to drop snaps for Flatpak only. But I can get so many snaps that aren’t on flathub it’s crazy.

They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

Pretty accurate meme though.

Hm. Not sure if it’s because I’ve stuck with gnome and kde. But both definitely freeze often during high I/o or intense processing times.

On multiple machines and multiple distros. It’s one of the most annoying things about it really.

Personal stuff is mostly on my phone. And I’ll just sync to the computer what’s needed.

All my code and projects are on GitHub/codeberg.

All my personal info and photos are on proton drive.

If Linux shits itself (and it does often) who cares. I can have it up and running again in a fresh install in ten minutes.

Funny. I didn’t know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.

Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.

Depends on the license I suppose.

Most of the issue is that they’re unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.

It’d be a great thing if it just worked.

Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?

I’d never admit it irl or to anyone I know because it’s petty. But it bothers me when cs people refer to themselves as engineers.

Referring to themselves as scientists would seriously be a step past that.

Is it not stable?

Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?

You are going to get gaslit to hell about this on lemmy. But no. It is not stable in the sense you mean.

The effort is worth it though.

All of this. Plus often it just doesn’t work.

And no. I do not want to blind fiddle with the permissions to fix it.

Google the history of xmpp. This is exactly the same.

It’s not a good thing.

Yet they scream when their 6 months old un-updated windows install wants then to update

The problem isn’t the OS being out of date I wouldn’t think, it’s the applications they actually use. Flatpaks are kind of a solution but not really.

It’s a hard sell explaining to new people that they will have software up to a couple years out of date.

the recipe may be visible to all, but the chef’s expertise in crafting and adapting the dish, as well as the dining experience provided, is what customers pay for.

I mean, you cant ctrl+c ctrl+v the dish. That’s the difference. If anyone could ctrl+c ctrl+v meals I think most restaurants would go bankrupt. Right?

When software is open-source and monetized, it strikes a critical balance. Users gain the freedoms associated with FOSS – the liberty to run, modify, and share – while developers receive the financial recognition for their contributions.

I never understood how these two concepts can coexist.

Lets say you made something FOSS and sold it to one person. Can’t that person just… redistribute it for free? Which kinda makes you trying to make a living out of selling it much much more difficult or downright impossible?
