I let them know, they just took care of it 👍

This is the most hilariously bad faith interpretation of a comment I’ve ever seen on the internet, congratulations

They tend to justify the view by only ever bringing up the dangers of nuclear power, and arguments about nuclear waste (ignoring the fact we keep getting better in both these areas).

I’ve even seen people like that on here before when the topic’s come up too, it’s an annoyingly common sentiment

That’s not mentioned in this specific blog post, but that’s always been one of Vanilla OS’s defining features, it’s “apx” package manager to install those various types of packages

It’s even using Distrobox actually, but the point is to make it simpler to install packages for those contrainers, with the user not worrying as much about managing the individual containers, and not having to memorize the specific commands for each individual distro’s package manager

Basically, like the rest of Vanilla OS, the point isn’t that you can’t do this stuff elsewhere, it’s that it’s trying to make it easier to do it

so their solution is to give white people a state

They never said this, you pulled this out of your ass lmao

They’re from lemm.ee, which is basically the same shit

They’ve been the main instance bugging us here on Lemmygrad ever since lemmy.world defederated us lol

The problem here is that for that purpose, Flatpak is better in nearly every way and is far more universal

I think Snap makes the most sense for something like Ubuntu Core, where it has the unique benefit of being able to provide lower level system components (as opposed to Flatpak which is more or less just for desktop GUI apps), but it doesn’t make sense for much else over other existing solutions

because the package build script isn’t available?

What are you talking about? Every Flatpak on Flathub has their build manifest available on GitHub, you can fork or download it for yourself and change it how you’d like, just like you can with an Arch PKGBUILD

And the problem still isn’t solved because now the people who can set bad defaults still exist, they’re just different people.

For one, unlike with distro packages, lots of Flatpaks are made by the developers of their apps, so bad defaults aren’t really going to be a thing for those since the developer would want to choose what’s best for their own app

And for packages maintained by a third party, bad defaults are less common because maintainers don’t need to account for each individual distro’s unique package situation or specific dependency versions, and only have to package it once for every distro

Every accusation is a confession when it comes to the US

Every. Single. One.

Like, holy shit, they’re literally pretending that stealing parts of people’s bodies is “bodily autonomy”

“tribal behavior”

complains about “racist jokes” about white people

The moment I saw that someone (and that “someone” being db0 who already blocks us on their own instance lol) was working on a “better alternative” to The Bad Space (a blocklist that’s been getting a lot of negative attention on Mastodon/etc. for being really bad lol) that it would go exactly like this

Was about to comment on someone’s post looking for Linux help with the distro and DE I happen to use until I realized they’re from lemmy dot ca who defederates us, so OP wouldn’t see it 😩 Not about to make an account on another instance just so I can interact better with the pit anyway

The idea that it was only Ukraine who suffered from those famines is one of those ideas that just genuinely confuses me, like, how does one even get there? How much info do you have to go out of your way to avoid in order to not know that other parts of the USSR were affected by it too?

Then again, I suppose if your “info” is entirely sourced from literal Nazi propaganda, then it’s not all that surprising

Also I wish Omni-Man was like Stalin instead of a space fascist lol

It’s because you literally said “Chinesium knockoffs don’t matter amirite” when the context isn’t some shitty Arduino clone on Aliexpress, it’s a new 7nm chip in a flagship phone from Huawei that they developed themselves

Participating in the global chip market isn’t the purpose of this new chip either, the only reason it’s causing “tension” with the US is because China isn’t “supposed” to be able to have chips at that level because of the sanctions, when China is perfectly capable of just developing their own

It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.

The next? Call of Duty: WWII already came out six years ago and only had an American campaign lol

It was honestly pretty hilarious how hard that one went into “America won WWII” territory when previous WWII ones were pretty good about showing how other countries made the bigger contributions (even with them still having biases and propaganda), most of them had a Russian campaign too

Had one once, worst piece of furniture I ever owned, I can’t believe these pieces of shit exist and are so common

An example of things working as they should could be found in microprocessors. ARM design almost all of the processors in our phones

This is especially hilarious because the whole reason RISC-V has been developing rapidly is because the ARM monopoly isn’t an example of things working as they should, and companies want an alternative

Except that’s also a lie, because as the new GN video talking about that response points out, Linus only contacted Billet about it after the GN video was posted, and they absolutely had not “arranged to compensate Billet for the prototype” yet
