Well, I’d prefer Canonical to fix their shit, instead of forcing immature products onto users. I’m not against snap per se, as there are valid reasons for sandboxing, especially for games (remember when Steam accidentally wiped some user’s home folders back in 2015? Sandboxing would have prevented that).

However, in its current state, snap causes just too much friction. For example Firefox can’t remember the last used directory for up/downloads, Steam snap will just create a new data directory (forgetting about the games already downloaded), there’s no way to allow additional folders (like /net from autofs) in snap apps etc. It’s just a myriad of issues which make working with the system unnecessarily complex and frustrating, and there seems to be little progress fixing those.

Don’t forget rabid antisemitism and Hamas-shilling.

no human should be treated this way

Absolutely, and that’s why an Israeli newspaper is reporting this, and the IDF’s own military police is conducting an investigation and has already suspended the commander in charge.

Now I’m looking forward to a Palestine newspaper condemning the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, and Palestine authorities investigating the issue and prosecute those responsible.

Actually, we do have trucks and SUVs and pickups, too. Though they are usually a bit smaller than an F150 or RAM 3500, so we often use trailers if we need to transport larger items.

Folks living in the center of big cities (which I personally believe are a bit overrepresented in this sub) often live in flats where stuff like dishwashers and washing machines are already provided, so they don’t need to transport that, or even don’t need/have a car at all. For those, there are delivery services and light trucks that can be rented.

I still believe that the ML companies “argument” is just a giant smokescreen. Reason is simple: ML companies can, and probably always have, just scrape the website. Why build an integration for every API under the sun if you can just build a web crawler once and be done? There are even existing, free implementations available so that’s an absolute no-brainer.

It’s about killing independent clients, nothing else.

Blockchain/proof of work is indeed not necessary, but identities should not be bound to instances. That’s the thing #nostr gets right and the #fediverse doesn’t.
