    Flatpak is kind of bringing the BSD mindset of base system versus end-user apps to Linux.

    What must one not read. The reason is that FreeBSD develop and maintains the whole base system: kernel + system related frontend and because it’s a clean architecture. For the isolation they had jails before containers was a thing.

    Flatpak was not about sandboxing, this aspect is quite recent. It is a response to how bad the CI-pseudoCD was for Gnome and to build/deploy apps based on gnome-stack easily. For proprietary product, I still have to see it a proprietary product not available outside flatpak…

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that Flatpak tackle the sandboxing question that was not what was sold previously. Also, I use official repos and mainly FOSS. Flatpak won’t prevent a supplychain attack. So my trust remains the main repos.





  • The less epidermic censor reaction, especially on these stupid boo-boo words: M$ for microsoft in Linux subreddit might get you in trouble or using inoffensive slur. It does not mean I’d shit everywhere on Lemmy but I just don’t like language policing “à la” Demolition Man. :)

    btw, i am not a refugee, i used lemmy 2 years ago then I made a pause on all of these platforms.



  • People like to be indirect with lgtbq+

    I would say people think that there are only saints in LGBTQ* community, there could not have assholes or some having bad soft skills. It’s known there are no introverts in the community, noooo. For the other, I could name two asshole LGBT* person: Sarah Sharp (FOSS) and Ellen DeGeneres (People).

    So, misunderstands are certainly possible, but often in my experience

    In my experience, I have seen more unjustified cancelling than real one and you are, here, doing the same. In no way /u/X77 was saying what you accuse him of.

    No longer than yesterday, a person from Beehaw posted an illustration of a rainbow road roller truck driving over people tagged family, catholic, etc… not much of an issue, for you? Or maybe it is but this would have been a ban to MARS not just a “oh, this is not totally right or it is no meant to be blah-blah-blah…”.

    Well, when you cut off on the nuance, keep a black and white mindset, it’s problematic. Remember the : “You are with us or against us”

    actually, Google was really working on something like this, based on googlestreet images, gps, accelerometer, time, AI etc… to deduce the image and sell cameraless smartphone.

    what a stupid idea, honestly

    1. because it is indeed stupid: the most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature
    2. cameras are actually the selling point of most the expensive smartphone
    3. I WANT to capture it myself
