Similarly, sometimes forms use foreign countries’ English names, and sometimes the native names. Pretty annoying as a German.
And a special “screw you” to any UI devs that don’t use the native behavior when typing letters while focused on a select field.
Jesus, this was embarrassing to read. You’re not just wrong, you’re also a massive asshole about it.
Why did many powerful and rich people support Brexit? Crises shake up existing ownership structures, e.g. people sell houses and companies for lower than usual to cover rising costs. If your investments are spread out globally, you’ll be able to invest at these cheap low points, giving you a massive boost once the economy comes back.
Just look at home ownership since the mortgage crisis - so much wealth was transferred up, and it happens again and again.

You’re asking the wrong questions. Did they measure from heel to big toe? Or did they use the foot of one of those “second toe is longest” freaks?
Absolutely, I’m still regularly shocked how normalized those words have become. They are absolutely accurate from a corporate perspective, but why are we all using those same words? They reduce any creative endeavors to the positive effect on the extraction of wealth by the rich through influencing others into buying shit they don’t need or want. “Influencer” should be a pejorative, not a job title!
“Why are we responsible for the bombs we keep sending to Israel?”
I swear, cats always see a third-person-view of themselves and sit/lay down in the most aesthetically pleasing way.
Collecting good vibes from all directions at once!
Imagine you can set a theme of your choice like “Star Trek technobabble” for little explanations for the delay.
“Delay due to chirality recalibration of phase discriminating amplifier for positronic brain…”
Might literally be one of the best use cases I’ve seen so far!
Well if it were closed source, it would be harder to repackage proprietary apps because you would not know how the snap “root filesystem” translates to $DISTRO root filesystem.
Only if all the other tools (like Snapcraft) were also made closed-source and obfuscated, but that’s besides the point. What if, for example, Snaps start costing money, and you can’t legally turn them into Flatpaks and distribute them? What if the only legal way to get some software for Linux will be the official Snap repository? This approach will make for a far worse user experience than simply using the already working, already open-source and non-enshittifiable alternative.
Because some apps are only packaged as snaps so if you want them to be accessible to users, you have to install snapd. Flatpak can still be the default which on non-Canonical distros already is. Which why I don’t even worry about snap becoming the standard.
And by promoting Snap to the same status as Flatpaks on other distributions, you’re opening the gates for enshittification and a worse user experience tomorrow. Again, why support it as an equal option if we all know the price?
Doesn’t everyone?
Fuck I just got that, nice!
Let’s go with the Cambridge definition:
a perfect society in which people work well with each other and are happy
The Oxford Languages definition is incomplete enough to not be a valid counter argument - “perfect” doesn’t mean everyone 100% gets what they want. The only sensible interpretation is “perfect” from a societal perspective.
That’s the dragonslayerslayer.
But if yes, then as long as current conditions meet anyone’s definition of utopia, then we’re all living in one.
No, Utopia has a defined set of meanings. If current conditions meet someone’s definition of Utopia, but doesn’t meet the defined set of meanings, it doesn’t mean current conditions are Utopia.
“Utopia” doesn’t mean everyone gets what they want. People can want things to be worse while still living in a Utopia.
Try finger but dog.
Wow, that is a beautiful color pattern on a beautiful kitty!
