    Yeah my old apartment had one shared old ass boiler in the basement for the whole building, like 35 units.

    I would have to wake up super early for my job, and in the spring/summer when the boiler wasn’t on to heat the radiators, I would often be the one to kick start it by turning my hot water on.

    It would take like 10 minutes to heat up so I’d just run the shower on low pressure and get a few more minutes of sleep

    The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

    With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

    https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

    But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps








  • Yeah the consistent and ever growing wealth gap as corporations continue to grow more profitable and people have more trouble affording food and housing is at the core of a lot of it. People are angry, but the corporations/1% are spending billions on social media, lobbying, funding certain political campaigns etc to convince people that their anger should be directed towards others around them. It’s the fault of foreigners, immigrants, minorities, women, LGBTQ, the young, the old, etc etc.

    And on the other side of that, Russia has been working to stir up division in a ton of nations since the 90s and has gotten much better at it with social media, so these two groups have homogenized.

    Then on the third level, the super rich billionaires like musk and Thiel want dark enlightenment, which is the collapse of society so they can create neofuedalism and run their own techno-slavery-kingdoms, so they want it just as bad.



  • Because it avoids this

    It’s the baseline of UNIX, with Linux maintaining most compatibility, meaning servers around the world, desktop environments including MacOS and GNU/Linux, gaming machines (including video game consoles like PlayStation and Steam Deck), mobile devices like Android and Apple Devices, mainframe computing systems, embedded systems, so on and so forth. It makes up the backbone of our technology infrastructure. It continues to be iterated on, and is tightly bound with the C programming language and its improvements and iterations.
