I feel one of the hardship for Linux to catch on is the lack of commercial interest to make it usable for consumers.
If this problem happened on Windows and macOS, MS and Apple would just send an engineer to spend a week or a day to have it fixed. This change has been in electron for Month, and no one bother to fix it.
Same with bugs in chrome and libsecrate, which have been open for 4 freaking years... https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsecret/-/issues/49
It also took chrome half a decade to support text-input-v3: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40113488#comment1, which is added by a third party developer. And it still breaks KDE's implementate https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492225 ...
It is understandable people are frustrated, I am frustrated, and joined several conversation regarding this problem. However, I don't appreciate some of the rant from many users. This change is certainly out-of-touch, potentially due to them don't quite foresee the amount of flatpak/kde users who are affected by this change.
But many complaints have been dangerously close to the line, if not over the line. Their quite month policy is reasonable IMO, developers need breaks, especially those with frequent interaction with the community. Love or hate electron (same apply to CEF), it seems clear to me, the work if these developers brings many wonderful apps into the linux world.
I personally don't feel people, who are not paying or contributing the development of electron, have the right to demand free work from the electron developer.
LOL, see these two side by side: https://sh.itjust.works/post/30125606
Seasoning is a polymer, which is known for its strong resistance. It is unlikely to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.
The seasoned surface is hydrophobic and highly attractive to oils and fats used for cooking (oleophilic).
The protective layer itself is not very susceptible to soaps, and many users do briefly use detergents and soaps.[28]
Unless you are dish washing it everyday and refuse to dry/reseason it, you will be fine.
However, cast iron is very prone to rust, and the protective layer may have pinholes, so soaking for long periods is contraindicated as the layer may start to flake off.
It is also insecure with possiblity to crash your computer, the only advantage is that it is cheap.
My strategy is to always install program with flatpak, SDKs are also installed as flatpak, find graphical alternatives to command line programs. I don't use command line a lot, so I don't need fancy tools for it.
I only have one system package installed for inputting unicode math symbols. So that I have a clean and easily migratable system.
I might add, everyway actually seek to "consolidate" all the older ways, and always ends up adding to the ways needing to be consolidated.
Honestly after moving into our current home, we were able to avoid Amazon almost completely. We don't buy cookware, as carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel cookware lasts at least decades if not forever; we have way too many mugs from market and thrift store; and all of our clothes are thrifted with some from Costco.
we get groceries from farmers market, local ethnic stores, or super market. We get shelf stable products like toilet paper or drinks from Costco in bulk. We barely replace our electronic, because I would fix them with spare parts from ifixit and eBay; when it do need to get replaced, I get them from bestbuy or manufacture. We get most of the cleaning products from refil store or supermarket; we would buy soap from farmers market or local supplier.
We would only buy very obscure product from Amazon, like replacement knob for pot lid etc, but they are very very rare. One particular product we unfortunately relied on Amazon is the bamboo electric toothbrush brush head, we are trying to find some local salers that carry that, but cannot find any.
Installing on a old laptop is great because eventually after you get a more serious machine, you probably got enough experience to choose your distros.
Linux mint is certainly the most promising option, especially if you are just using the laptop, and don't have any external monitors setup.
Then I believe a v60 might work best for you? I think a plastic v60 cost around 9$, and they can last decently long.
It is a hilarious joke, but please don't rationalize replacing stuff when it is still working. Buy quality goods and maintain them properly, repair when needed.
A good coffee machine should last at least decades ❤️.
I think you can block instances now.
LOL I thought you are joking, but it is actually called buttplug gnome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_(sculpture)
Officially the work represents Santa Claus holding a Christmas tree in his hands but the artist has implied that it could also represent a buttplug, and that "...For me, the sculpture is also about the consumer community - as a commentary on material consumption in the Western world."[3]
I think mixing app and system dependencies is not the best idea, and Linux desktop is still fighting its impact.
When all the apps on a consumer laptop is expected to depend on the same dependencies, the system likely run into dependency hell, which means many apps needs to be downgraded in order to keep older apps working.
This mixture of system dependency and app dependency also prevents users to use the the latest version of an app on a hyper stable base system.
Flatpak basically aim to solve this problem, where each app chooses their own dependencies, so you don't need to downgrade all your app just because one app depends on python 2.7.
You are right. I have done some research, it seems most people think that client side hashing is unnecessary in an HTTPS setting.
That is my misunderstanding.
I like the idea of growing non-ml community, however, I wish larger instances do not block ML. Otherwise, they would just move to lemmy.ee or lemmy.one, just like how they moved from hexbear and grad to ml.
It is great tankies got their own place where they can be happy, but I really don't want to interact with them. I am emotional about issues they engage in, and emotional me is usually not the nicest version of myself.
Social media is one of the few ways I can relax for couple hours per week outside of my job, and I really don't want my social media experience to go full investigative journalism.
