I think I’ve landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!
1·1 year agoFor what it’s worth, I agree with you. Most telecom infrastructure funding has been historically pocketed. There is a chance it does work, though.
If not, maybe the tariffs will help in the short term by minimizing profit from overseas supply chains and incentivize American manufacturing, causing a positive effect on the sector in concert with CHIPS (but I doubt it).

17·1 year agoOh, the thing Trump called “so bad” on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can’t trust it, but he did say it.
As it stands, CHIPS isn’t going anywhere, so at least Americans won’t be totally fucked.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Temporary rule added: no US politics
2·1 year agoWhy? I’m Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It’s pretty contentious and fucked up. It’s not like I’m an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.

2·1 year agoWhat conversations, specifically
Lol, okay, very specific. I’m also talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.

3·1 year agoNot American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.
Every time I see the Fedora logo I think of DisplayFusion instead. Windows poisoned my brain. :(
Same here! I’m Canadian and, while we may have a snap election at any time given the current situation, our next scheduled federal election isn’t for almost a year.
I still find it so baffling that red states are limiting the number of polling places to make it as inconvenient as possible to vote. Surely that reduces the willingness to vote of their own base too. Given the electoral college, jerrymandering, and voter roll purges, you’d think they’d be satisfied with how things are rigged already without resorting to blatant disenfranchisement.
It would be cool for you guys to have a viable third party, so you should try to make that a reality outside of just voting if you can. I’m sure they would appreciate a donation or another volunteer after the election and local efforts are often more meaningful long-term since they help create the grassroots support that leads to national viability.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel?
6·1 year agoIt doesn’t appear that that’s the case, because people on my instance have subscribed to the comm in question and the link still didn’t work. When I formatted the link correctly, it worked. Unless there’s an interoperability bug between Lemmy and Mbin, which is certainly possible.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel?
13·1 year agoYour link doesn’t link to the community on my instance, it links to the original instance, so that’s a bit annoying. Maybe that’s why?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Hypothetical: Can a person "citizen's arrest" themself? And if so, how (and why) would that even work?
10·1 year agoTechnically speaking, I think to arrest someone you must take them into your custody. You can’t take yourself into the custody of yourself since, as an individual, you’re already in your own custody by the nature of free will.
There’s a setting called “Steam Input” that I’ve enabled and I haven’t had any issues with that using my Steam controller and my Xbox One controllers. When it’s not enabled, I’ve had some weird connectivity issues and sometimes the buttons aren’t recognized properly in fullscreen.
Steam supports most of the more popular controllers out there (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Steam controllers, plus other Bluetooth-enabled brands like 8bitdo).

7·1 year agoLol, I’ve had a really bad cold (or something) for a week so, no. I feel like I’m fucking dying.



Yeah, same here, that’s why I specified that they’re only nice when they work. Often they just don’t work, so Flatpak is better.
