I really hate living in Ontario sometimes… it really seems like we should be better than this

Ah, that’s actually what I was thinking of in my previous comment

For sure and I agree that should be enough but the average person is not good with computers and they don’t want to learn. They won’t understand the nuances of different distributions of Linux. Like try explaining the difference between a .deb, a .tar.gz, and a .rpm to a person who’s already hésitent about using Linux. Flatpak solves that by just having one download that any Linux install can use

Oh 100% but have you tried to explain how to use one to a computer novice? Like yes, the answer is usually “they should just…” but novice users will never. With flatpak, they get an experience similar to how MacOS works and a bit like how .exes work and it Just Works™️

Edit: like I’ve had trouble showing people how to use the GNOME App Store which could not be any more simple. Anyone who has been convinced to install Linux already feels way out of their element so making everything feel as natural as possible is essential (and I mean, flatpaks are awesome anyway)

I love installing things from the CLI and prefer to only do it that way but Linux needs a single click install method for applications if it’s ever going to become a mainstream OS. The average person just wants to Google a program, hit download and install. If not that then they want to use a mobile-like App Store.

Flatpak is kind of perfect at achieving both those things

IE was really bad for web compatibility in that it really did not properly support the specs.

Ignoring that, I’ve found any browser you don’t normally use is a lot snappier only because you don’t have any extensions installed

My celiac-ass should not have gotten excited about that sentence. For real though that doesn’t sound good

Ottawa desperately needs one of these. Centretown is completely owned by Loblaws

Definitely not sourced but I think there was some assumption that was because the feds told him to hold off

Yeah I absolutely despise Doug but he’s (somehow) a master at images. He, unlike PP, knows that Canadians/Ontarians are in elbows up mode so that’s the role he’s going to play since it really costs him nothing. If Ontario decided tomorrow that they actually love Trump, then he’d be Trump’s best friend in the world

I grew up mostly with the PS2 and above and I thought the same thing 😅. I did think there had to be a better way though

I mean in a way it’s because of Trump, but not because he asked for it. One of the largest militaries in the world is now in the hands of a fucked up abomination made up of a demented old narcissist, the Heritage Foundation and Russia.

I honestly feel a lot better knowing Canada and Europe are putting more money into the military, especially given the annexation threats

Ontario’s right next please 🙏

Fixing our doctor shortage by not being a batshit country 😎

I guess The Netherlands or any other country that has proper bike infrastructure isn’t the real world.

And even in Canada where the infrastructure sucks, I have multiple small grocery stores in my area within walking distance and one big one within a five minute bike ride. I just don’t do Costco suburb size groceries loads and I could easily survive without a car

Also for renovations, you can rent a van or get a cargo attachment for your bike

I’ve heard that it’s really subtle? Idk though, I don’t hear it either. I’ve had American coworkers make the aboot joke even when we both say about the same way to my ears.

Honestly I do think it’s fair for him to stay considering he will 99% for sure win his dumb by election and have to move back in anyway. I picture it reversed with the NDP or something and I’d think the same thing. I do think it’s stupid that I KNOW people would be losing their minds if the NDP or Liberals were in the same position though.

Have you seen Git project READMEs? Also what’s the problem with it really?

MSI’s EZ Bridge consolidates multiple headers and connectors into a single area. With all headers on one side, it creates a more organized cluster of cables, as opposed to having them scattered across the board

I do like that but god damn I’m not paying that much for the luxury

Screens are fine for music and cameras and that’s it IMO
