The only thing funnier than the linux kernel supporting a filesystem who’s creator murdered their wife, is people confusing it with bcachefs.

'the linux kernel might be removing a filesystem'
"you mean the one who's developer murdered his wife?"
'no the one who's developer keeps ignoring kernel mailing list protocol'

Glad to see it’s popularity is waning. Snap is the inferior universal package by many metrics and the steam snap in particular is very not ready for prime time.

You don’t comprehend just how easy it is to do GUI programming in Javascript. Like if C++ is a nunchuck and Bash is a cursed hammer and lisp is a shiv then when it comes to GUI programming Javascript is Vector’s control panel from dispicable me.

… yeah :-/

I hate electron apps. Just make a website asshole, don’t bundle a whole chrome browser! The only one I’ll tolerate is ferdium, because having a message control center is kinda neat.

especially as the hack flows downriver to distros with actual dignity like mint. Like this is pollution of the water supply dog!

well at least they aren’t trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.

Even if you’re using debian 12 bookworm and are fully up to date, you’re still running [5.4.1].

The only debian version actually shipping the vulnerable version of the package was sid, and being a canary for this kind of thing is what sid is for, which it’s users know perfectly well.

Glad ubuntu defaults to nano. One of the few decent choices that distro ever made

Termux gang?

That’s not fair. I’m an arch user and the only time I’d set foot on a forum is to ask a question you won’t find an answer to in the wiki, the subreddit, some weird defunct blog nobody has made a post on in 11 years or the source code. And I probably won’t be answering any questions with RTFM or anything else for that matter.

How does the snap store have worse moderation than flathub when the snap store has the weight of a company behind it and flathub is run by [nervously notices it doesn’t say]?

Yeah basically

remember when tumblr wanted to go ferdiverse?

Plasma used to have 2 ways of dealing with pixil density settings and they removed my favorite one. It’s been deprecated for ages so I knew it was coming but it still hurt

There used to be an option in plasmasettings/appearance/fonts called DPI. It was basically the same as the scaling in display and monitor, but with a different underlying implementation which seems to result in less random empty space.

They removed legacy font based DPI scaling. I hate it. Nothing looks right 😭

Yup. You know it’s not the closed source drivers that annoy me. It’s the fact they don’t mesh well with mesa. Ergo certain features (eg. opengl and vulkan acceleration of virtual machines) just don’t make it to nvidia cards unless you use the shitty driver.

Snap has absolutely no system libraries and handles them by bundling them per package. Flatpak does kinda the same thing but a few core ones get bundled in the runtime. As far as I’m aware you can’t update libraries without rebuilding the snap completely. There are a lot of things you could say about this behavior but “sane” would not be high on that list. Stable maybe. I’ve had flatpaks break because a bug got introduced in a runtime. Snaps probably wouldn’t have that problem. But those underlying library updates are shared. You update the nvidia-opengl runtime once and it updates for steam, heroic and all your emulators. Meanwhile unless I’m fundamentally misunderstanding snaps, when a new mesa feature is released, you need to wait for the snap maintainer to update the snap before you can take advantage.
