Congratulations!!

Pop is basically Ubuntu minus snap, plus flatpak, plus their PPA, no?

Most of what differentiates a distro from another is one of:

• package manager
• default packages/configurations (including the desktop environment)
• init system

The rest well… it’s Linux.

Parsing absolutely comes with a lot more overhead. Especially since many websites integrate a lot of JS interactivity nowadays, you oftentimes don’t get the full contents you’re looking for straight out of the HTML you’re getting out of your HTTP request, depending on the site.

I mean, I use formatters everywhere I can exactly so I don’t have to think about code style. I’ll take a full code base that’s consistent in a style I dislike, over having another subjective debate about which style is prettier or easier to read, any day. So whatever cargo fmt spits out is exactly what I’ll prefer, regardless of what it looks like, if only for mere consistency.

Bismuth (and Krohnkite before) never worked nearly as well for me, and AFAIK are both abandoned. The built in tiling is closer to FancyTiles/tiling zones, not auto-tiling like Pop Shell. Pop Shell also has been here for “years” by that metric lol

We’re dealing with a faceless corporation here, not a reasonable person.

I just don’t understand how you get to the idea that the phone you carry around is inherently any different than your computer, and that giving the option is inherently gonna compromise your security if you decide not to turn it on.

There’s an episode of Behind the Bastards touching on the subject - “How Conservatism Won”. Not a right-wing resource at all, obviously, but that’s where a lot of the money goes indeed.

Wait, are you serious?

It’s a direct answer to the main post, which mentions two bands, and this one is one of them. I thought the context implied the reference, visibly it didn’t, so I’m sorry for that. No need for the snark.
