Yeah. I don’t like snap but like, that’s not new and always been part of their plan. Bit weird to say the lost the plot now

What makes you say that? In the post apart from the usual snap bs, it all seems pretty standard and good. Not even a single AI mention.

🤓☝️yesh’ but, did you consider that uh… checks notes hmm… Linux difficult?

good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol

I use the terminal on my dev machine, but that’s because of what I do. Never opened the terminal on my laptops.

I don’t use my laptops for gaming, only casual web browsing and the occasional 3d print or code script.
I have used fedora in the past but a failed update broke it, so I’m using cachyos now.
The only issue I had with the laptop, is that it’s recognized as a 2-in-1 and sometimes would switch to the tablet mode which disabled the keyboard. Either I found how to disable it or cachy doesn’t have the issue.

I’m curious what setup you have to do?
I do some customization of KDE on my desktop, but for my laptops it’s always install and use without the need to setup anything.

It makes sense, but once it’s pushed there is no way to know if it’s been cloned or kept somewhere else. The only real mitigation is to rotate the keys or password that was leaked.
If it’s something else you can’t rotate, you’re screwed.

Plus won’t the forks on GitHub keep the history before the “reset”?
Afaik, forks on GitHub are basically the same underlying repository, just a branch associated with another user. They won’t be able to really purge anything from these other branches.
Plus anyone who has a local copy of the repo or an automatic mirror somewhere else, will have the changes available.

They give you the option to disable it. What more do you want? Custom builds where only the features you want built just for you?

Opt-in features never get used.

It will improve over time, and it’s still infinitely better than giving google translate your data

You speak every language?
Even if I understand french and English, and both are disabled from suggesting a translation; I don’t speak German and I find using it to translate in place without giving my data to Google is pretty good.

What functionality do you so desperately need that is not available or workable in Wayland?

Ah! In my days we only had one VHS with 5min of the beginning of the movie missing. Kids these days 😮‍💨

Weren’t there native tribes living on the continent before the us was created?
But yeah, the land here has been inhabited for a long time. There’s a major Paleolithic site near where I live.
Seems Europe as a whole also has a distribution of small and large countries, even though the us has more of them and more land

It got a bit more homogeneous after Walloon and dutch dialects were removed in favor of Paris french (while Flemish stayed a bit more different than Dutch but officially it’s NL Dutch).

For the sub-cultures hub in the USA yeah, there’s a lot of them, a direct result of the colonisation of the continent. But I think what most Europeans compare against is the exported American culture (from movies, music and whatever fads start there), which is pretty homogeneous (ie, mostly capitalist and individualist) but doesn’t really reflect the variety you can find “on the ground”.
Tbf, the Walloon settlement in the US (Namur, Wisconsin) is pretty small, I couldn’t find exact numbers but seems to have a population of a thousand, and the Walloon language is disappearing

Belgium. The current country was founded in 1830. We have Wallonia and Flanders who speak different languages, each province has or had its own dialect but it has merged mainly into french and dutch, with a bit of German in the east. The country itself is probably smaller than any us state, but I don’t know all the sizes of them.
Funnily enough, there is a small town in the US with Belgian immigrants that still speak older dialects of Walloon.

Less than 200 years old. And we have 3 languages, a huge cultural divide between the north and south, and more diversity in our provinces than in between us states.
