On a personal computer, you are giving a whole lot of trust to anything you run un-sandboxed as your normal user - it will likely have access to your most interesting files, browser cookies, maybe saved passwords. XKCD covered it years back: https://xkcd.com/1200/

This brings up another drawback of deb/rpm packaging, though: you need root access to install anything. I'm not sure about Snap, but Flatpaks can be installed and used by an individual user.
I'm sorry, but this is not defensible. Their colleagues beat up an old man, this solidarity is no good.

> It's basically... "live and let live". That's about it. I don't know what's extreme about that.

You don't? Live and let live means, in practice, let die. Libertarianism says, if you had bad luck and are poor and you get a disease you can't pay to cure, you die.

Libertarianism is the extreme of selfishness. "Live and let live" means "I've got no obligation to anybody else, screw 'em." In modern society, that's incredibly extreme.
> Do you really believe that water pollution is only a problem to be handled by people who are downstream and not a shared responsibility?

That's not what he said. He said perchlorate pollution in water does not necessitate national regulation given the data. That says nothing about other chemicals which may disperse more widely or whose use is so common as to contaminate many water systems.

I agree, and let's not stop there! What business did Apple have getting into the music player business or the cell phone business? They already have a profitable computer business! General Electric makes appliances, lightbulbs, jet engines, nuclear plants, and a dozen other things, split them up!

We can divide up the world into little boxes and carefully decide who is allowed to participate in each box. Hell, we can go back to giving people occupational surnames - if your name is Smith or Barber or Carpenter, your box is already picked out for you. GET BACK IN.

It looks like the rejection email was from Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). So Amazon isn't refusing to sell the book, just refusing to publish it, from my understanding. That seems like a much less significant issue if that is the case - there are lots of alternative publishers to Amazon, so it is less concerning if they have more strict standards, since you could just go through another publisher and sell on Amazon through them.
Every junior and intermediate dev would like a word with that concept, because it sounds magical.

>I also happen to be quite geeky and nerdy. Which is probably something most people don’t expect when they think of a beauty queen.

It's 2020. There are now lots of attractive women who are geeky and nerdy. Just look at the cosplay industry. Or, ahem, Twitch.

It's not the 90s or early 2000s anymore. There's nothing exceptional or noteworthy about a beauty queen or lingerie model or whoever who likes anime, or board games, or manga, or programming, or gaming on a desktop.

People (of both genders) used to be looked down on for liking these things, but that hasn't been the case for over a decade. They're cool now.
Most European nations are allies with the US via NATO. That means they wouldn't have a choice. An attack on the US would be an attack on all NATO allies. An armed response would be necessary, unless they wanted to break the treaty.

That's the whole point of elect local, enforce non-locally. I trust that there's enough people in Austin to elect a secondary prosecutorial staff to go after bad actors through Travis & its surrounding counties. The idea is to give voters a bunch of chances to enforce this stuff.

> How can "sudo apt install chromium-browser" not install the apt package but install instead a snap?

Simple: they decided that maintaining the chromium .deb takes too much effort, and that snap is making that easier. So they moved it to Snap.

But there are many users out there with existing installations who have selected chromium as one of their installed packages. And so as not to keep said users without updates, they decided to migrate them over the best way they found.

I'm not completely sold on the snap ecosystem because of some technical issues, as well as the issues of fully automatic updates. But this particular question has been given a lot more air than it deserves.
I'm still confused at what exactly they're trying to accomplish.

So youtube and google drive basically die, some of the most useful free services available right now. I think this does more bad than good and I don't think any American citizen would support this given the effects.
Every time I've done this my guarantor hasn't scrutinized the photo, just glanced at it. And ditto when I've been a guarantor: "Hey al you sure you don't want to get a haircut before getting your passport?"
Optimal 386DX40 setup with great VGA card does up to ~9 fps in DOOM in high detail, up to ~12fps in low (half horizontal resolution). Was enough for me in early nineties :)
Not sure if they could, but:

Then they would need to review all Ubuntu packages for snap injection and overlay them. Sure that might be doable automatically but is a bit brittle.

It also means the user wouldn't learn what is going on.
The main issue impairing US military development is entrenched corruption. Any reorganization which fails to explicitly address that is as doomed as a cancer treatment based on diet and exercise.

I completely disagree with you, in reality more competition will open up and smaller US/EU firms will take place of larger firms.

This will result in decreasing inequality and help the general society as well.

He preached working-class solidarity between blacks, whites and Latinos, and that's why they wanted him dead.

This is where a good therapist can help, regardless of mental health. Having a third party to dissect the thoughts with you can give you a new perspective on the situation.

Generally the situation doesn't warrant shame, and there's underlying reasons for you feeling the shame about that situation. You can learn a lot about yourself from those.

A good friend can do the same thing, but even with the best of intentions not everyone knows how to non-judgmentally help you address issues without unintentionally causing more shame. Sometimes the reasons we keep these thoughts to ourselves is because we shared them in the past and were hurt by the response.

The chromium transition was announced in October 2019, https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-tra...

Ubuntu was not able to maintain chromium as a deb package, and chromium is not the default browser in Ubuntu. Therefore, it has been packaged as a snap package.
Since there is no longer an apt package, what should happen when you "sudo apt install chromium-browser"?
The usable decision was to install the snap package of Chromium instead,
https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-tra...

The snap package of Chromium has been in testing for two years already. The snap package page is

It's incredibly anti-competitive behaviour and it's baffling that governments are allowing it to go unchecked. Even the WhatsApp purchase was greenlit with caveats (not combining FB and WhatsApp user data) ... which were promptly ignored by Facebook. I seriously want to know who they paid off to get that acquisition. There's no way that was above board.
The difference between a camera phone and a professional camera is one of hardware. The difference between a Chromebook and a useful computer is one of software. Installing Debian on my Chromebook Pixel turned a pointless toy into a reasonable tool. It doesn't matter what software you install on your camera phone, the sensor and glass will still be shit.
I got interested in mazes late last year and found Mr. Buck's resources invaluable. In fact, I received his book for Christmas. I highly recommend it, definitely worth the paperback purchase to support his work.

> scrapping of the excellent beginner's guide

I gather that you simply want something more opinionated than Arch, and that is OK, even the BSDs have a more opinionated install procedure than Arch.

But FTR scrapping the "Beginner's guide" was done for really good reasons: it duplicated the content of other Wiki articles, which is a maintainability nightmare, and was too opinionated for Arch. All the content should still be accessible by wiki links to other Arch wiki articles.

I don't think that there's a conspiracy in any way!

The way that I interpreted this article and how it fits into the current moment is that there's a substantial portion of those dissatisfied with the current political order of permanent minority rule by people who have substantially different values from themselves who could be considered part of the "elite" of society in terms of wealth and influence.

That's not to say that there's a conspiracy theory! Coastal elites are certainly not the only people protesting, not everyone that's elite is dissatisfied with the current order, etc., etc. But IMO the current situation can be characterized as one where a large group of people, including but not in any way limited to a portion of society's "elite" grouping, are attempting to overturn the political order to better suit their values.
If you first run

I suppose it is the same process with flatpaks.
Europe has plenty of very big companies. They are just not in tech (as in consumer computing, social media).
This is not excessive force.
If its anything like private equity (bigger company VC's), they charge their limited partners an annual fee. Around 1 or 2%
I’ve run Debian testing for like 10 years now, and I’ve never been hesitant to apt-get dist-upgrade.
Solution to ... what? I work in this area - I don’t think a “monorepo” is going to solve the numerous difficult problems the US has with modern multi-domain ISR. How do you represent and compare different capabilities from different domains? How do you pick which assets to buy? How do you pick which theatre to deliver them to? How do you plan tactical deployment of your assets? How do you dynamically retask assets in the event of disruption by the enemy? How do you fuse the numerous different data formats to interpret the multi-modal data you receive from your ISR assets? How do you retrain users to use the new capabilities? How do you maintain the assets for a long period of time without cost overruns? How do you get the systems to interface with legacy systems? How do you deal with all the intra-military political issues? These are just a few issues faced by the DoD in the ISR space.

I think there’s a bit of Chesterton’s fence in general around the DoD - the military (and the government in general) has many inefficient, slow, and expensive practices, but while it sounds like a good idea on the surface to tear it up and start from scratch, people underestimate the difficulty and danger of hastily changing or defunding things without understanding why they were put in place.

Your examples are nations, not businesses. Obviously the economics of warfare are different: money (and resources more generally) are how you defeat your "enemies."

I'm talking about capitalism, both industrial (Wealth of Nations-style) and modern financial capitalism which is the domain of business and markets, not war.
Interestingly enough, in the article it does confirm that Chevron encouraged new users of the system to change certain input values to produce explosions andnl disasters right as they were first learning how to play, so that they could learn what does what in real life.

It's quite a gamble, but if desktop Linux got more popular and Snap was the default way to get applications for it, I'd imagine that running the app store would be a pretty good revenue stream.
You can turn it off by replacing your operating system with another Linux distribution. As of 20.04 you also still have the option of removing Snap outright[1], as long as you don't need the software that is only provided via snap.

Although apparently they are considering[2] adding the option to disable auto-updates.

Rights exist insofar as they are enforced. Otherwise what’s the difference between rights and a nice idea?
I think the Buffalo incident yesterday[0] gives us a good indication of just how rare a good cop is. Even though there were dozens of cops that witnessed it, they all lied and claimed that "During that skirmish involving protestors, one person was injured when he tripped & fell".

Then, after the cops who nearly killed the man got suspended, all 57 people on that particular team resigned "in disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders,"[2].

Since you want empirical results, that is 0 good cops out of the 57 people on the force. We can employ the rule of 3 to establish an upper bound good cop rate as 5.2% (95% CI).

This isn't to say that the cops are by nature bad. Rather, the institutions and norms that exist in many police departments ensure that nearly all cops become bad cops.

Are you suggesting that the United States should back out of NATO? Tell Japan and South Korea we don't like our treaty obligations and to fend for themselves?
There are plenty of US bases in Europe. So the war would happen there if they like it or not. In addition, as NATO members they would be obliged to stand with the US.
>Like, ok, if I'm a communist but believe the government should be as small as possible to serve only its core set of functions, which box do I fit into? If I think women should have the right to choose what's best for their bodies, but I support free speech and the right to bear arms, what am I?

that's how i feel -- i want a small government and i want people to do whatever they want with their own bodies while being able to own guns.

people say i'm libertarian, but i don't agree with a lot of libertarian points of view (i still think government has a place in society and i think we do need some social safety net, like public health care and even negative income taxes.).

there's not a box that i feel inside other than "classical liberal" (in the milton friedman sense of the term) but whenever i say that, i' met with either laughter or hate.

honestly, it's quite hard to discuss political issues nowadays on the internet, where everyone is super extreme and if you don't fit any boxes, you get silenced (including here, btw).

This is literally how privatization works. My dad runs a small construction firm in London, and was invited to provide the sandwiches for the opening of a new park. For that colossal buy-in, they got their company name on a plaque, as a generous funder of the park's construction. In reality, the whole thing was paid for by the state. Except the sandwiches, of course (I think another business might have paid for a bench or two).

It's a simple scheme - the party looks like they did a project on the cheap, so they look thrifty to voters. The businessman gets real tangible benefits. The politicians responsible make friends who'll open doors for them in the future.
I'd be very surprised if there's a commercial compiler that would automatically optimize this into linear time. Maybe some obscure functional research language? But certainly don't think LLVM is capable of dynamic programming.
I definitely do not trust the government to give better results than google.

In fact, I would expect them to actively censor and promote their interests. Also, would other people just not be allowed to make search engines? Wouldn't google v2 just take over again?
I believe you, but I've better luck with other Debian.

Until I started using FreeBSD on my desktop a few months ago, I had run Debian on most of my personal machines for ~15 years, and often on work machines. For the most part, I was able to track the testing repo and "apt-get dist-upgrade" once a month, and not really worry about anything. Very few breaking changes, and when there were, it was usually related to proprietary drivers (thank you NVIDIA).

IME with Ubuntu on work computers, staying up to date is a much bigger hassle. Besides some of the out of the box settings being brain dead (IMO, of course), upgrading between releases is a pretty big deal with major changes and a lot of breakage.

I don't use Gnome or KDE (on either OS), so that probably helps, but I still always plan for Ubuntu upgrades to break stuff on me.

With Debian, I configure it how I want, and then it just stays out of the way. With Ubuntu, I feel like Canonical is always trying to change my mind and push things on me.
I would very much like to see a study on that. Because of the reddit quarantine I can't use a subreddit analysis tool to compare the subs. The only conclusion I can see is that both politics and the donald is likely to share the same word as the most commonly used: Trump.

I would in particular be interesting to know if there is a significant difference in offensive words used in either sub.
Contrary to the popular narrative, apparently it is very easy to remove corrupt cops. Give out a few slaps on the wrist, and 57 more simply get rid of themselves!
Most people aren't advocating for that though.
It's just bad optics right now. Doesn't need to make sense, just perceptions.
I'm pleasantly suprised to find relatively little knee-jerk in the comments. For the record, even as an ex-Googler and as a business-friendly conservative, I support the move and not just for Google but for all of the FANGs. It's verifiably impossible for anyone to compete with these companies in the markets they dominate, so they'll sort of have to compete with themselves after the breakup, and perhaps allow more competition to emerge (or enter the market from abroad).

Disclosure: I do not own any stock in Google. I do own stock in Facebook and Amazon however.
Good to know. Flatpak doesn't have a separate step, but there's a --user option for the install command.
The parent thread referenced windows as something that handles spaces in filenames. I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted when my comment was relevant to the debate occurring, and my point (that all features have downfalls caused by the necessity of implementation within the surrounding system, and in the case of command line arguments, linguistics and common keyboards themselves) is something that according to the guidelines should be debated against, not downvoted.
