Add to this, this gives birth to more modern packaging format like flatpak, appimage, and snap, that works across all distro with proper permission control.
Now for most graphical apps, you just search on the app store and click install, like a iphone user.
last time I used Mac, I still need to go online and grab the dmg file (or whatever the extension of the file is) myself, since most app is not avaliable in the app store, like jetbrains app and adobe apps.
I think you might be talking about two group of Linux user. I think majority of the user realized that shared dependency is not scalable in the recent couple years, yet there are still a loud minority that oppose dupilicated dependencies that exists in these universal formats.
Finally, I think the three universal package formats provide better sandboxing support than msi. But appx in windows are very much inline with these packaging formats.
Bro, wait until bunch of western kids, who never been to your country and do not speak your language, flood here to tell you how great you country is, and everything else is just “madeup western propaganda”.
Have been lectured several times about my own country, which I lived in for most of my life…
I like to use two unrelated concepts in mathematics to form my username. In this case, I picked base in topology and domain of discourse in logic. I feel like imposing some form of topological structure on the domain of discourse seems like a nice idea.
Realistically, every topology has a base, however the idea of a baseless space sounds pretty cool in my head (basically means you cannot uniquely generate continuous function just from its behavior on the base, in this case it is equivalent to the only base being the entire space). Hence the name “baseless discourse”.
As for it happens to make sense in day-to-day English, it is a happy accident :)
I also realized my american appliance do this same when I try to set them to celsius (nest etc). I guess that is where this unfortunate misconception comes from.
Just a curiosity. Theoretically FRP (factory reset protection) can use the current login password as a way of authentication after reset. But everything on the web states that you will need a Google account to take advantage of he feature.
TLDR: although it can be implemented to use a local authentication method, but that would easily cause bricking. Plus the limited thief deterrence potential it provides (Probably given the currently limited user base of graphene) hence it is low priority.
Taiwan (RoC) is politically independent from China. It is a democratic state with universal healthcare, excellent protection of indigenous culture, and a highly rated free press. All of which not enjoyed by PRC. It has also never taken command from PRC, ever.
Recognized or not, it is a independent political, economical, and cultural entity from China. Calling it part of China is just unhelpful burocracy.
Do you not understand what “burocracy” mean? it is the case “burocracically”, but “functionally” Taiwan and China are simply not tied whatsoever. Hence calling Taiwan part of China is “unhelpful”.
I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?...
A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...
I would really love gnome software to add update on background feature and set update interval (update only once a month, hold update indefinitely etc.)
But fedora software center behavior is the most intuitive and easy compare to other popular desktop OS/distros: Mac, Windows, or Ubuntu.
I think it only downloads the update but you still need to click install to install it. I am looking for Google Play / Windows Store behavior, where the store juat keep my app up-to-date in the background, maybe push a notification after update is done or something.
I understand this behavior is not for everyone, but I think it should be a toggle at least.
One of the thing that drived me from Ubuntu to Fedora is that Ubuntu has 3 different UI for system, apt, and snap/flatpak update. It feels really segmented.
I personally prefer Gnome experience more than any other DE (including windows and macOS). But mint only include Gnome version on Ubuntu LTS, so it is a bit dated. But no doubt that mint is extremely user friendly.
I like that the Mint UI show you that you are in sudo in a graphical app. It is really neat.
IIRC, if you do a file operation in Nemo that require sudo, then the file manager can directly ask you the password and lift itself to sudo, without needing to go into terminal. It is also pretty convenient.
Sure, I doubt there is anyone here against rural self-sustained living, it is probably one of the more eco-friendly and humane way of living.
But once frequent car trip and road maintainance cames into equation, it might not be the most eco-friendly way any more. I understand not everyone cares about their fellow human being, but this is the point this post is trying to make.
I lived both in dense neighborhoods, rural neighborhoods, and suburbs. Trust me, the more things you give your neighbor to do, the more shenanigans they will make, especially in place where everyone is bored out of their mind.
What about going to your doorstep to tell you that you need to maintain a lawn? your door needs to be a certain color? Or you cannot park your car on your own property? Or you cannot park somewhere simply because "they have always parked there? Or deafening motor noise that can be heard a block away right across the road from you? leaf blower and lawn mower so loud that literally require the person to wear a head phone to operate safely, right next to your house?
These are just a few things I have seen in the suburbs. Are these count as “close enough to you”?
No, I have experience none of these in the cities, because a lot of time, there is no HOA, most places do not have lawns, and I dont need a car in the city.
Also there are in general lawn mowing and leaf blowing are much more moderate in city, because they know they are surrounded by people.
I’ve moved almost completely to Proton Mail. I expect I’ll end up keeping a Google or Outlook account, not for use as a primary account, but as a recovery account or to access other services....
I still use an outlook email. Since most email (which is unencrypted during transmission) pass through microsoft server anyway; unless you are emailing another protonmail account, but I have yet to see another one of my contact using protonmail.
Also protonmail’s UX is honestly pretty bad, since I have a work email not from proton. So I will need two email client on my phone, unless I selfhost a bridge on a server that I can connect to from everywhere.

New law in Texas will make drunk drivers who murder parent or guardian to pay child support to the child of the deceased until the child is 18 years old.
First, in this hyper capitalistic society, isn’t everything bad for the poor, from the legal system to democracy itself. For example you can argue the poor lacks the time and resource to properly understand the policy, hence more likely to be misled by the candidate.
And in this specific cases, the public can pay for it if the person is poor enough, like declaring bankrupt. I am not so familiar with the procedure and loopholes related to bankrupt, so feel free to educate me on that.
On the other hand, I don’t think rich people should be able to get away from jail time simply because they have paid money. Unfortunately this is seen through out our legal system. So I am definitely not supporting that. But I imagine the law can be easily changed to add the child care/medicare cost to the existing manslaughter sentence, instead of replacing the manslaughter sentence?
Urbanist and car enthusiasts are not mutually exclusive: car can be a hobby, but hobbies belong on tracks or in garages.
I have met a vintage car enthusiast living happily in Amsterdam, he restores small early japanese cars and collect them, but that doesn’t mean he need to drive them every day to work. His car is in a garage near Amsterdam, and he still bikes when he travel within the city.
Like I enjoy starcraft, but I’m not asking my government to spend interstate money to keep starcraft alive or host tournaments; nor will I defend it if it interfere with other people’s need, right, and life.
Starcraft also don’t kill 1.3 million people a year BTW, so if anything is getting foundings, starcraft should have more priority over cars…
I really hope China don’t follow U.S.'s mistake in making the society car-dependent. I have seen a lot of unfortunate hints in the recent years. At this point, it seems pretty inevitable by my eyes. Sincerely hope I am wrong.
Of course, car dependent society makes sense for no country in this current world. Yet, many society makes the mistake of becoming one.
For example, I have seen a lot of empty lot in the Chinese cities has been transformed into large wide roads, much wider than most roads contructed before it.
That being said, I have not been in China for a while. I will definitely look closer next time I am here.
For me, I think the major problem is still the culture. China largely follows America’s culture 30 years ago, where car and single family is see as a symbol of wealth and power. Hopefully with the internet, people will realize that urban living is much more efficient and, most of the time, better for mental health.
Chinese socialist revolution before Mao’s leadership is pretty legit. Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, are all real socialists, they truely cares about the worker and envisions a better future for China.
If anything, many Chinese intellectuals in the republic era really cares about the little man, like Lu Xun, Lao She, etc.
Richard Stallman, who art the in freedom of software, hallowed be thy name; the kingdom of GNU come; thy will be done; on every machine as it is free.
Give us this day our daily free softwares. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who touches macos. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from the scorched land of Microsoft.
For free softwares are the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
