Limitations surrounding theming (no way to force a theme and flatpak basically just doing a best effort to use the right one, theme needs to be specifically repackaged for the platform, etc) has nothing to do with the packager and everything to do with Flatpak’s sandbox. Same for permissions: running something like an IDE or anything that integrates with other software over Flatpak is just a pain in the ass due to the sandboxed nature.

I’ve yet to have the first be as smooth an experience as just using the native package manager. Be it some app misbehaving or needing manual permissions tweaking, or a missing/inexistent GTK theme, amongst other issues.

Distrobox/containers are however pretty cool indeed. I don’t use Distrobox myself, but there are many things in my shell’s RC that’s just a wrapper alias/function around some docker image already.

I literally said “what makes it funny for me”

French speaker here: what makes it funny for me is it kind of sounds like someone trying to say “pomme de terre” with a stuffy nose

I’m genuinely confused about the point you’re trying to make. Are you trying to say the maintainers of F-Droid are themselves maintaining and modifying the software that’s added to F-Droid repos? Cause I’m pretty damn sure they do not, if that’s what you’re saying.

That number alone isn’t particularly telling. What were those IT jobs? Did we lose a bunch of programmers and software architects and gained T1 support roles? Permanent vs contractual? What percentage had a pay cut/raise? How many people entered the workforce (graduated, new hires) vs how many left (retired or career change) this year?

Oh, after they moved me from store to store then fired me, I did. I’m in Quebec, Canada, so it’s through the CNESST. They’re all too happy to take cases against this specific employer. Still, after 2 years of back and forth and a depresssion later, I resorted to an undisclosed settlement.

Even if the institutions exist to go after a previous employer, it’s also not always doable. And you gain a big resume gap unless you want to keep talking about that ex-employer you sued…

Very anecdotal, but I’m rather skeptical of that. Where I work, we haven’t hired in more than a year despite some decent growth. Seems to be quite similar for most of my circles, very little movement and hiring gojng on. I used to get harassed by recruiters 5-10x a week on LinkedIn alone despite being employed and listed as unavailable. Now it’s more like a cold message or two a month. Maybe it’s regional or something…?

Retail truly is hell. A previous employer chopped off our time after closing, regardless of how much time it took to close the place. In the two years and some I spent there, including 9 months full time, they must have saved hundreds of hours in unpaid wages just in the 3 stores I worked at. That was a major chain, mind you. It’s a good example of wage theft for OP, actually lol

Rest assured that when I was closing at 9PM by myself, by 9:01 I had signed off on the day’s deposit, and by 9:02 I was out of there…

It’s literally just a link. They don’t send shit to Kayak unless you decide yourself to click that link. Yes, Kayak could track you. That’s true of most sites they could link to. They also advertise this fact pretty clearly. And as far as I can tell, didn’t they confirm it would be made opt-in?

Total storm in a teacup situation…
