That’s good, AppImage is still my favourite of the “distro-agnostic” package systems and I think it really is missing a central repository solution.

It’s a package repository, but I would hardly call it “central”

I’m not saying that’s not true.

I’m saying I’ve almost never downloaded a Flatpak that didn’t require a new dependency downloaded.

When I removed all my flatpk some time ago, I had: Steam, Viking, Discord, FreeCad and Flatseal to manage them. All of them and their dependencies used something arounx 17 GB of disk space (most of which was of course several versions of dependency runtimes), and that was after I removed all the unused runtimes that forn some reason it doesn’t remove after I uninstall or they are upgraded.

I’m sure if I installed more Flatpaks, some dependencies would eventually be reused, but you still need a good collection of them at any given time. So in pracrice you still need a lot lf space unfortunately.

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but up to a couple of years ago, Flatpak was configured so that externally mounted folders were not accessible. I discovered that when Steam on flatpak refused to install games on my hdd, and it was quite frustrating to figure out how to enable it. Still, it’s difficult to criticize how “bloated” are electron apps (they are) when I need to download 2GB or runtime for an 80MB telegram binary

Snaps integration is even worse as I’ve seen browser extensions state they straight don’t work on snap’s browsers. Also desktop integration on gnone (even files drag and drop between snaps) are broken on the ubuntu installations I tried.

Appimages have the least drawbacks and are my preferred methods between the three (at least they take less storage space than an equivalent Flarpak for some reason, but are still broken sometimes), yet they still miss a central package repository, and that’s a big problem.

Appimages are usually quite reasonable in size, it’s Flatpak that usually require 2/3 GB per app since every package has its own version of KDE/Gnome or other runtimes so every app still has to download a new one.

Also each is pretty bad in terms of usability and practicality, either losing integration because “containerized” or taking GBs of space or both.

Edit: guys relax, I’m not a linux hater, I use it daily. But windows does have a unified environment, which makes deployment so much easier, while linux doesn’t. And that’s a problem since you either have old broken apps on distro repositories, or impractical, potebtially bloated, and even more fractionated environments like those I mentioned. They are patches and we should work towards a more standard environment, not adding more and more levels of abstraction like electron does.

Even Torvalds says it so.

Please don’t make it a generic US high school drama. There’s already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.

Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated

How can anyone have access to these 3 furballs and not keep them for life?

Let’s not forget:

• useless “help” pages that try and explain the most basic of concepts without giving you any information you are looking for, despite it being in the title
• pagaes takes 35 seconds and 17.876 lines of JS code to load
• accept that we share your data with out 237 partners
• page requires a login →login→login form redirects you to homepage instead of page you were before→navigate to page before→page requires a login
• page loading itself after a while
• 8 months old link is broken because they refactored their knowledge base archive without bothering to redirect old links, despite every arricle having a simple code

I in looking at your Microsoft, Intel, Autodesk, HPE, Xilinx…

Don’t forget that Fallout New Vegas regularly drops below 15$ with all the DLC

I think because they try so hard to be edgy (eheh) and different from the others, by constantly trashing known tested paradigms, refusing to fix known problems, all whike trying to invent the “brand new thing” that nobody wants and never reallt works out.

Windows 8 ia older now (13 years) than XP was when 8 came out (11 years). Feel old yet?

Windows 10 is almost as old (10 years).

If I saw such a sign, I would be even more worried. As they say, every sign has a story behind

Betheda being bethesda as usual, releasing overpriced merchandise, selling the same game you alreadt bought, while not even caring enough to implement bug fixes that modders already figured out gratis for you.

And gamers spread their asscheeks so they can collect every version of the game that Todd spits out his mouth.

Sorry for my saltyness, but bethesda really grinds my gear like few others do.

You don’t need to feel emotions to understand the chemical, physical and psicological reactions during intimate moments.

A robot may know that an orgasm is a release of neurotransmitters in the brain, how you get one from stimulating certain nerves in the genital area, and the expected recations, all without every feeling one, just like you generally know how it works before you feel your first one.

You can logically understand all the procress because, at a fundamental level, it’s all physics and chemistry.

When Data banged Tasha Yar, he probably perfectly imitated a sexually-capable male, what is not clear is if he liked it or felt anything, please ore emotiom wise.

As for the borg episode you mentioned (I never saw it) if he watched porn he probably recognize all the “mechanical” actions, maybe even learns new techniques, but doesn’t feel aroused as a human would.

Mine is Dyson because he eats any kind of food (regardless of who is eating at the moment) and he will always lick the plate cleaner than it was.

Since some extensions are “mozilla-approved”, I guess they test it regularly, it wouldn’t be hard to verify if one is really sending anything despite their disclosure.

I think that even the best writer in the world cannot find a satisfying reveal of 10 years worth of secrets build-up.

I think the final was the perfect balance between tying all the loose ends and not fully explaining what the island is. (Or rather, they did in some way, they just left some bits to the imagination).

And to everyone thinking that the finale makes it so the entire previous seasons did not happen, sorry but you just didn’t get it.

The Reepublic of San Marino has been independent for a very long time, possibly since 301 ce, that would make it a 1700 years old country that never changed its form of government.

What’s up with the grey eyes? Sure it’s not a photoshop
