I’m not a huge fan of Flatpaks, they’re a lot harder to distribute offline versus something like AppImage. Seriously, you have to like create an offline repository, then create a bundle, and it’s like 6 or 7 steps, it’s honestly kind of ridiculous lol but other than that they seem fine, and they’re easy enough to update (but so are apt packages)

I know some people may say “oh why do you need that”, but Linux has taught me that my computer is my own, and I should be able to use it the way I want to. I shouldn’t have to fight with my package manager to get it to do what I want. So I guess you could say, no I’m not really a fan of Flatpaks.

Personally, I didn’t mind Snaps, but I’m getting kind of really fed up with especially for-profit companies etc so I don’t like Snap that much now either.

Apt packages are nice, but the more of them you have installed, especially if you’re using Ubuntu-based distros and have lots of PPAs, the more annoying upgrading your distro version can be because of all the dependencies and cross-dependencies.

AppImage tends to just work for me, as long as it’s not compiled with a newer libc-bin version than the distro I’m currently using has, and I really enjoy that it’s just one file I can copy and run pretty much anywhere.

Yep, I’ve experienced both, although I do admit that I prefer working from home…

If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.

Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn’t worked with message brokers before.

I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.

You can do like I just did a week or two ago and pay to get an MRI in Buffalo, it cuts the waiting time down to like 2-10 days.

How is that better? If you configure your firewall rules incorrectly, this protects you against that. This ensures you have no connection if your VPN isn’t on/isn’t working.

Always make sure that QBT uses your VPN’s network interface. I got some DMCA emails despite split-tunneling a VPN recently, and I realized it was bound to all interfaces by default - that’s no good.

How so? They work fine on me between laptop and desktop, phone and desktop, etc.

It really isn’t. You don’t even need to port forward, you can use AnyDesk or TeamViewer or any other option entirely for free. There are also open-source options too.

Where are they going? There’s no way it’s Linux, right? So I guess it’s Mac?

Well yeah, they have to hoard your advertising data somehow. How else can they advertise things that you don’t need to buy?

You’re right, I’m an abuse enabler because I made an observation about companies being shitty. Very well said.

Saying “You’re not alone” is supposed to be a wholesome thing to show someone that you care. Instead, it’s AI companies squeezing as much data out of customers and injecting as much AI into everything they can.

Society really took a wrong turn didn’t it?

Just unfortunate timing I would think lol

Great minds think alike I guess.

Is he wrong though?

I think that’s something they have, yeah. It’s kind of unheard of to me. I can only imagine public servants like librarians or library assistants getting stalked, harassed, etc because their info is publicly available for anyone to access.

Yet they will never be replaced, sadly.

They get all of the credit and none of the blame.

That’s pretty much how it goes yeah lol

How can you debug it with a TCP dump if it’s encrypted?
