Enshittification knows no bounds

How long until Tesla sues me for buying a Toyota?

Now that his pick has won the election there’ll be no need for negativity now!

Can someone explain why global flatpaks are installed in /var/lib and not /opt or /usr/local?

Fantastic, Linux needs tools like this for users who need to make occasional changes and inspect systemd.

For inspiration, I would suggest you also look at LaunchControl, which is a GUI tool to administer launchd on macOS.

With the Reboot Into Selected, will this modify the next boot only without changing the default?

How about the motherboard dying before the oven does

We need to set up a date with Daisy and Lenny

I miss the KDE 3.x crystal theme

I wish that naked TLDs were a thing. Like https://com/ or https://london/

I used to love forums back in the day, but I must say I’ve really gotten over the format of the medium. It promotes email-like long form responses with space used up with avatar images, handles and signature blocks. Nested replies become a nightmare steer several layer’s and you’re cooked on mobile.

Would love a Lemmy-like plugin to parse vBulletin forums. Endless scroll for topics, minimal non-content fluff, easy and quick replies. (The irony of this reply length isn’t lost on me. Most of my replies are short, promise!)

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!

FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age

I think the issue is Apple guards their wallet so tightly that basically no jurisdiction can get their IDs in it

Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

If you have the room, you can often buy these second hand for a bargain from colleges etc. They’re built like tanks and you can wash almost anything inside them. When they do break, laundry operators try to DIY so there are videos everywhere on how to do repairs.

I often use fields, so I have to go back to desktop Word eventually to add them in. 🥲

Users only use a fraction of the feature set but everyone uses a different fraction 😂

How good are VMs at booting a physical partition?

We need more browser engines, especially those that are under NFP ownership. WebKit and Chromium have become too dominant.
