  • To summarize what I was telling another person. The number of people who care are far outnumbered by the number of people who don’t. It doesn’t matter if you or I or all 10,000 (just a random number for the sake of argument) of the people subscribed to a sub like this were to cancel when r/justworks or r/normie (made up subreddits for the sake of argument) has 100,000,000 who don’t give a damn about computers, privacy, or anything else beyond the service working or not.


  • I know you weren’t using the number 5 as a hard example, but a thing that people still don’t seem to realize is that the people in threads like this are the people that actually care. Even if the few thousand redditors who subscribe to a subreddit where they discussed that topic were to all (and I mean 100% of them) cancel there subscriptions. That is still only a drop in the bucket for Netflix. Losing a few thousand subscribers is still nothing if they made more money with the addition of ads.


  • Yeah, was gonna say the same. It works fine for me on native steam. But flatpak steam needs flatpak mangohud. This was actually one of the reasons that I stopped using flatpak steam though. Not a problem against flatpaks or even that it didn’t work. Hell it worked even during times when native steam didn’t work.

    However, lots of small differences like this kinda make it harder to utilize existing software and information when the software and the communities around that software don’t have flatpak in mind.




  • The way permissions are listed on mobile operating these days is honestly pretty misleading.

    For example, I know some apps that need to request network permission even though they don’t need to connect to the internet. Not because they want to do anything shady, but because they legitably have to in order to get certain info.

    Not to mention the problem of listing everything an app can do as if it is doing all of those things.



  • I’m also a Plasma user, and I decided to try it out in a vm yesterday after reading this thread. It didn’t appear to play nicely in a vm. It was honestly the weirdest thing. Lots of freezes in my plasma session. Not the only distro that has problems in a vm, but still unexpected.

    Anyways, there were a lot more packages for it than I initially thought. However, still lacked some things that I wanted to use, and like nixOS it seems different enough that I would need to put in a bit of work to get those things working on alpine.



  • I guess you run a bit of everything, but I couldn’t tell you what every distro is doing with their package manager. All I know is I installed it the same way as most other things on linux using the distro repos and let those guys sort out what versions should be used. I just wanted to point out that the original commenter wasn’t necessarily wrong. That I could in fact follow their instructions and it was there for me as indicated by the screenshot with no further action from me.

    I use a 3 different layouts, one of them Btree. And drag and drop one window over the other will swap position of both windows. So functionally, it is working (for me)

    That is cool and I didn’t know about that, but that is not what I meant. In most tiling window managers, regardless of the layout. You can increase the size of any individual window and all other windows will adjust in size.
