It's a win, but not something that has any meaningful impact on normalizing Linux desktop usage.
It's not going to help the network effects of convincing vendors or manufacturers provide better support for Linux.
OK, give my the name of a European company you consider "Big Tech?"
Still super annoying to have to go through that
EU doesn't have any big tech, i.e. tech companies the size and power of Google/Amazon/Meta/Microsoft/Apple.
I can insult Trump and Biden on social networks, travel to the US then travel back alive to my home country.
I wouldn't try that with China.
I love them. They make the immutable distributions possible.
We need to stop with the idea of shared libraries, it's nice on the paper but in practice you only save a bit of disk space and it's a pain for developers to package for different distributions.
Distribution packages are great for core components of the system, or utilities everyone needs, but for end users applications something like flatpak makes more sense. This way it can be packaged by the upstream developer for all distributions, and sandboxing adds a layer of security. You wouldn't install an app that have all permissions on mobile, why do it on desktop?
I'm using it for my browser on Steam Deck and it's fine. You just have to give it the right permissions.
Still, what's the point of this kind of tent vs a regular one?
I love Signal but military should use their own messenging service (and they do).
I think one issue is for high officials that outrank everyone, they can get away with getting an insecure device because they prefer an iPhone over the custom hardened phone on Android 10 locked down for secure reasons.
The difference is that AI has some usefulness while cryptocurrencies don't
Sure, if you don't give it filesystem permissions it won't be able to download files and save them to disk.
