Nice

Good to see one of the two big packaging hubs do something against malware

That’s a neat project.
You can be proud of your work 😊

But I for one won’t donate to your cause, as the software seems to be closed-source, and I already have DuckDuckGo & Google for my searching needs.

I genuinely believe that the only viable niches for new search engines are environmentally-friendly (e.g. Ecosia) or open-source.

Literally no one will pay for a closed-source search engine.

But I like your tech stack, and your project’s looking good.

One more thing: You claim to be against censorship; how will you combat spam & SEO farming?

Ain’t no one getting excited about any kind of capitalism any more 🤮🤢

Aight

Tinfoil hat time

Why all the memes about Taylor Swift, if other rich people have more jets 🤔

Maybe because she plays a role in the US elections, maybe chance? GOP memes go brrrr

Thanks for coming to my tinfoil hat talk

Good meme, but keep in mind Elmo (Mr. X) has 3 jets and she only one.

Also: Where’s the public transit 🥺

Yes, basically agree.

But I just think it’s kind of obvious why they only block one ethnicity, I believe protecting consumers was only the second priority here.

It simply makes no sense that it only blocks Chinese citizens specifically.

I don’t want anyone to buy/own housing which goes uninhabited for a long time while there are so many homeless people who need a place to call home.

It’s difficult to imagine a person struggling to buy/rent an apartment/house, and for them to get mad about nationalities, rather than the fact that housing needs to be an “investment opportunity” over being recognized as the basic human need that it really is.

I hardly care if it’s Chinese people, Wallstreet, some Big Tech corporation, or just individual landlords driving up prices.

Housing must be accessible to all people, if a society wants to call itself civilized.

This bill going against Chinese citizens, rather than all foreigners tells you all you need to know about the real motivations behind it.

Could’ve worked on tackling climate change, inflation, homelessness, (some form of) European style health care, labour rights, or expand public transit, but they choose to discriminate against transgender people for zero gain.

Why are the United States so wird?

And how do you even enforce such a law effectively?
Many people have very good passing, and there have already been (self video-) recorded cases of cisgender people getting “accused” of being trans by some transphobe.

No one even wants these laws, at least most people don’t.

And why is the headline so non-judgemental? “Regulates” isn’t a good fit for tyranny imo.

Removing /repo is not considered safe, but I just removed its contents anyways and then just ran a repair.

That actually resulted in more available disk space than after running the garbage collection.

And my flatpak apps still work 🤷‍♀️

Their website is slickapp.co (without the m at the end), but their Android package name is com.slickapp.

Isn’t that a bit of an issue?
For example, when handling URLs?

Honestly, as long as you’re not going for a clickbait-like thing with lots of 😂, 😭, and 💀, when is not really justified, I don’t really see an issue.

Personally I’ll use ✨, ☺️, 🌸, and 🥺 regularly in my comments as I think they’re cute 🥺✨

Rather disappointing.

I’d be in favor of a law requiring the labeling of such products, but this seems to overreach; especially when applied to animal feed.

How well does Ansible work when I want to change my config? Is a quick reboot sufficient!

What do you use, then?

Given the context, I’d assume either Arch or Fedora Silverblue 🤔

Fedora Silverblue and NixOS looking very interesting ✨👀

Thanks for the detailed response.

I’ll probably go for either a Fedora Atomic Desktop or NixOS.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Do you think the use of OCI containers/images is a mistake/bad choice from blendOS?
How is NixOS different?

How do those compare to NixOS and blendOS in your opinion in terms of usability, flexibility and stability, considering an (at least mostly) tech-literate audience?

Given I’m still on Manjaro, would you recommend I consider NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, or blendOS?

downloads a lot more than other distros on update, and uses more disk space

why is that?

Thanks for your suggestion, but I’ll never use snaps/snapcraft/snapd by choice;

I do see the reasons for why developers/app maintainers may want to (universally) package themselves, but we’ve got Flatpak for that.

Less loopback devices = better imho
