if it’s a superior system, then it’ll become the new standard
Not even remotely close to how it works. Remember: we had pulseaudio as the “new standard” for a decent while.

To be fair: not by our own account.
, and the laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port so off you go to buy a usb-eth adaptor.
What, no Android USB tether? It’s been native since Debian 6 IIRC.
Yes but IMO the merge conflict PPV would work and be awesome, and the straight-up bribery already works.
How did you even get the picture of the W fan? W doesn’t even provide screen capture, nor global hotkeys to make PrintScreen work.

Oh I guess “an active community for fanfiction of this specific TV show or videogame I like to enjoy” would be far too niche, right?
Fine, then I’ll say immersive teaching (using dioramas, doing experiments on the field, etc… for teaching classes), and alone / 2-people living lifehacks (in particular in this economy).
Audacious can even theme itself using Winamp themes!
Maybe you jest but now I’m seriously wondering why hasn’t this been proposed. It’s defo better than something like “disallow list”.
Oh yeah that was a shitshow. I made a point to keep “master” in my repos and configurations because it’s the other meaning of master - one of the many others. Words are allowed to mean different things, ya know? If I’m drinking some coke I’m certainly not drugging myself (…I hope).
After all, the command to attach to a master is not “git slave”, it’s “git pull”.
They have a button to go to the latest version of the docs, but not to the equivalent page on the latest version
Oh yeah this is a PITA. Tho in that case it’s skill issue on their end.
Course I do. Why, do you need a link to the newest version of the joke?
Skill issue. Old version docs tend to offer you a redirect to more recent docs, and even then something sintactic like an “IN” operator is unlikely to change in form or structure between versions of a database engine.
That and the weird aversion to introducing new or useful keywords, or even extending the symbol set that doesn’t even use full ASCII.
Eh, I’ve always felt these solutions are complementary, or supplementary, rather than a “versus”. Each one, in particular cases, covers gaps the others can’t cover. The only one that’s unneeded is Snap.
For example, I like Flatpak. I like that I can get software from an authorized hub, much like with a package manager. I like that the releases of the apps in the hub are mostly well documented.
But no matter how nice Flatpak seems to be, its overreliance on “portals” and “buses” and “seals” comes associated with trying to over-engineerize my system too much for its own good. Every app I have ever tried on Flatpak, for example, doesn’t support audio, apparently because I have the godly, eternal, battle-tested ALSA and not the manchild’s crap that is PulseAudio. But since apparently PulseAudio is the GNome / Microsoft approved way to do audio on Linux, I’m supposed expected to have it. What’s next? systemd-flatpakd?
OTOH, I picked up the AppImage for Freetube and not only do I get audio but it loads and runs noticeably faster than the Flatpak version. And since it’s an official release I know where can I trustably get an update from. Literally no downsides!
But I sure as hell am not going to go for an AppImage for an app from which I expect more integration with my desktop activity, such as say a code editor or an advanced image / model viewer. Not if I can help it. Because I am going to be expecting to be able to stuff like drag and drop, have a correct tray icon, etc.
So that means I have to keep an eye on both solutions.
Hey, at least I’m avoiding Snap!
Now if there’s an AppImage for Steam somewhere… maybe…
Removed by mod
Oh no I do when it comes to that. The problem’s (usually) not there.
The problem mostly lies with distro packagers. They often ignore the “this dependency is optional” part and make the dependency mandatory. Back in the day Fedora was terrible at packaging new stuff (trying to remove PulseAudio would also try to remove Libreoffice, for example), nowadays it seems it’s Debian’s turn at the horribad packaging wheel. So in order to “use an alternative”, which would actually be the exact same software I’m already using except correctly compiled and packaged, I’d have to jump distros.
One notorious example is NetworkManager, which in Debian requires systemd for some weird-ass reason even tho you can run a correct Debian system without systemd. The Antix people compile it correctly, with systemd as optional / shim’d, but that means having to add Antix’s repo to Debian to use NetworkManager in Debian.
But hey, if you don’t like it, just don’t use it. It’s that easy.
Not when you are forced into it because it’s made a dependency of something you use.
That and the Gnome devs carry a lot of anti-consumer opinions and practices in particular since Gnome 3. Must be something to do with the Microsoft influence from around that time.
I think they mean the original.
