Flatpak is great for installing, but as a happy Aurora user, it’s annoying and it breaks things all the time. Every desktop app i use has some broken feature. Sandboxes as another permissions panel suck. Simple browser-like permissions that allow prompted overwrite would be WAY better!

Now i have media organizer programs that deletes my files if i try to write on a networked drive. Games that can’t see the controller. Chat apps that can’t see attachments. Music app that can’t save at all. Good luck accessing any binary and using it in a script.


It sucks how much of the world is built by people who glorify putting in 6 days and 4 nights a week, then put that effort towards stuff like Facebook. It’s so uncool to be critical thinking at all with these types. Accept the mission statement at face value and get paid.


as opposed to posting comments on forums in the evening for free? at least facebook groups is impactful one way or another.


Yeah dude. If he spent more time complaining on forums instead of lobbying against regulation meant to protect children from his own abusive platform, the world would be better. Take your puritan work ethic and shove it.


Aurora OS and Bazzite. Flathub crap happens, but I’ve never had so much confidence in my Linux machine. It has the windows or Mac quality that i can trust it to boot into a real desktop environment after any update. No more booting to a broken terminal session with no means of googling or real recovery


Jcenters, whoever you are, kill this awful website. It reflows the width on scroll, the top bar occupies 1/5 of my phone, nobody wants whatever the fucking AI expanded blog slop you are selling.

This isn’t clever, it’s just annoying.


My favorite part was when the article just stopped and showed nothing but white space

It’s like people don’t test this stuff with regular people - they just test how to maximize revenue with enough nonsense


I’m tired of people acting so naive past the point of zip-tying entire apartment buildings and building concentration camps. White supremacist manners and politeness are disgusting.


All of society is heading towards an incredibly unpopular future. Nobody wants this. Tech was a mistake. I wish them all failure and shame. Feel bad and quit


I usually feel bad for laid off engineers, but these guys profited off of pump and dump wealth-funneling to the rich. Sucks to suck. They all played a part in normalizing scams.


Your sentiment should be redirected to the leadership team and execs, not the engineers themselves.


Nah, they are adults. Labor should make way more decisions, but they knew what they were doing and for who.


That's ridiculous. You're making it sound like they were working for Nazi Germany.

Have some empathy for people losing their jobs because of upper management’s incompetence.


I forgot that all criticism is reserved for… Nazis? Chill

Have some empathy for the misled retail investor that gambled their savings to thieves?


I’m genuinely curious what the hell you’re talking about.

Did I miss some news where Coinbase literally stole people’s money, or at least did something that could reasonably be called evil?


Our system is designed so there is always a politician who folds for big business. The rest all hem and haw until it’s their turn to take the fall. They spread out the evil, we vote for lesser evils, and we all condemn extremism. Democracy.


Thems the breaks when all the politicians trend towards 60+ and went their entire lives believing the giant foot will smash us if we raise taxes

GenX was the first generation raised on "science" first education And the transition period was uneven in effort with many educators also peddling their personal religious views with the content.


The only thing any of that has to do with the US is that the US backed that theocracy! We cannot unilaterally violate all international law and sovereignty without Congress and our allies… that’s obvious though so what are you talking about?


Is it so hard to project out a couple product cycles? Computers get better. We’ve gone from $50k workstation to commodity hardware before several times


Subscription services get all the same benefits from computer hardware getting better. But actually due to scale, batching, resource utilization, they'll always be able to take more advantage of that.
