I think if I ever hear someone say that unironically in real life, I’m going to smack them.

Let me reply again to you comment.

The same cannot be said of flatpaks. AUR stands for Arch User Repo, which is a user-driven unofficial package source. Flatpak on the other hand has some official channels for certain software applications like Firefox for example.

Now I’ve never used Arch or AUR, so correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think AUR has official software channels like flatpak does. Right?

If I’m right, flatpak definitely is a lot safer than AUR. As long as you don’t download your flatpaks from unofficial channels. This is actually a good advantage for Snaps which are thoroughly checked by Canonical.

~~Absolutely. ~~

Actually, no. On second thought, let me reply again so you can see my new answer.

That’s a good point.

Man that’s why I don’t use Arch. it’s the wild west.

In seeking to have all the latest bleeding edge software updates, you end up with malade like this because nobody has time to properly check anything .

Yeah wearing sneakers with a business casual attire is acceptable as long as the colors are pretty conservative and the shoes are clean.

Today I was wearing a dark pink polo shirt with navy blue chino pants with a gray belt and my gray suede sneakers. That’s fine.

My personal favourites are the 574 core in light gray. They don’t look dorky at all. They’re pretty stylish.

The Hokas though look like you’re wearing something meant for outer space.

The New Balance 574. I’ve tried replacing them with similar shoes from other brands, even Asics which are considered good. But, nothing feels better on me feet.

They have a great sole that’s just right. Not too hard that it’ll hurt your whole back, knees and feet, but not too soft that you’ll sink heel first into them either.

The heel is raised just a little which seems to relieve a lot of tension in my lower back. It also supports my feet’s arch which relieves tension in my feet also. They’re usually pretty durable, though I found the build quality to have decreased in the past 5 years. The sole also doesn’t last as long as it used to.

I used to be like that. I just get so tied from work, seeing computers and software all day and having to constantly learn new technology that at home I’m just looking for something that doesn’t change too much and is familiar.

I’ve been using Ubuntu/Kubuntu since 2004 and I’ve always been happy and had very little problems.

It’s a good, no hassle distro that works and is fairly up to date, especially if you use the non-LTS ones. I prefer staying with LTS though. At least my OS is stable and I don’t have to spend my free time troubleshooting anything.

This is probably the best answer.

So I actually took the time to read those articles and watch the video. Now I’m not well informed on past Ukrainian politics, but none of them talk of Zelensky. Which I think was elected democratically and not put in power via a coup.

And honestly, if I had to pick between a pro-Russian and a pro-US government in that area of the world, I’d pick a pro US one for sure. It’s the least worst choice.

Eventually it will be shut down. And if they just released the Switch 2, it means it’s coming soon.

I’ve stated repurchasing my Switch games on Steam (when rebates apply)

My switch games were all digital copies except for Zelda and Sea of Stars. I don’t know if they’ll even be available in the future should I accidentally delete them.

Eventually I might mod my Switch when it’s not supported anymore by Nintendo and it doesn’t connect to their network anymore.

Good point.

That’s a really good article and they highlight exactly what my problem is with these kind of distribution.

“Use Linux so you can have total control of your system!”

* takes away the ability to have total control over my system.

Like wtf.

And how do you explain to your aging parents why their applications aren’t available because it’s not containerized?

I dunno. It’s got its applications, like on systems where the specs are all the same, like the Macs or Steam deck or tablets. But to me that doesn’t make sense on a PC.

If you want to leave your system folders alone, just don’t SUDO.

I’m just trying to find an instance where I can create an account to subscribe to channels… Preferably a Canadian one that’s not run one someone’s old PC in a closet.

I tried to subscribe with Mastodon, but I never see the updates.

The buildings they built there are way too high and blocks the view of Montreal from the Canal, blocks sunlight, and makes the neighborhood feel claustrophobic. The buildings are also very ugly when you compare to the historical architectural heritage of Montreal. I feel there was no real effort made to make these buildings appealing with a timeless design. It’s all built cheap and quick. There are virtually no services there to accomodate the huge influx of people who moved there either. Finally the local infrastructure is struggling to keep up. Not just in terms of roads (the traffic is INTENSE around that area), but also for the aqueducts, sewers, and electricity.

It should have been made shorter as some commented, but also other neighborhoods should have been developed more. up to 10 storeys is ok, but the high rise ones are blocking the whole view of the skyline of the city, especially from the Canal area.

And one last argument against the high rise apartment buildings is that it’s such a fucking pain to manage on so many levels. It’s hard to get a quorum when doing general assemblies to make important decisions because the majority of the owners aren’t even here. They’re mostly from other provinces or even other countries. There are also a LOT of problems with the plumbing. Due to the high pressure required to push the water up these towers, every unit has a regulator. These things fail very frequently and often before their intended end of life. When you have a leak that spans several levels in a building, it’s so difficult to manage and orchestrate the repairs and compensation for affected residents. They’re a nightmare to manage.

Meanwhile you have the rich people living in Westmount in their single family town homes in prime real estate areas that could be densified to accomodate more people, but hey… They’re rich. They have influence. It’s easier to kick out the poor from their old apartment buildings and rebuild therea and destroy whatever architectural heritage there might have been.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a fucking joke!

Gives me hope that the Ukrainian people are starting to see through the empire’s lies

What on earth are you talking about???
