I hope OP’s mom leaves a secret upper decker in their house next time she visits

Well, do they give the answer in the article? Kananaskis?

Once you discover you can just install the nix package manager with one command and then install everything with another, snap is out of the game. Even if you just use nix for like 2 packages, it’s already much better

Not sure how old you are, but the sweets may have a comeback later in life. AFAIK, the sweet taste receptors on the tongue are the last to deteriorate at old age, so all non-sweet food will start tasting more and more bland. Thus all the cake parties for the elderly.

At least that is what I half-remember from my studies, grateful for any corrections.

To add more evidence: Japan is not in the list and people here find licorice disgusting. You cannot find it anywhere except at ikea which is far away from here. And even there they only have one type which is okayish at best. PLZ SEND HELP!

Coming from Germany, I can confirm that the objectively correct level of sweetness is what they sell over there. America/UK are too sweet (obviously!). Japan is not sweet enough (duh!).

In other news, sweetness, just like spicyness, seems to be acquired taste and once you got brainsugared by one country’s Big Sweets you never come back.

I think a huge human torso on top of a giraffe could also look funny enough

Why not scale up the size of the human so it fits with both solutions?

Isn’t a pegasus a bird? Would that mean that they lay eggs?

the other difference between snap and systemd is that there are clearly better alternatives to snap that are technologically superior in practically every sense and not tied to some company that tries to sell out.

Depressing that even Disney movies are made up fantasies these days

Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!

I like how this flips the narrative from: “I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!” to “I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!”

Can’t grow a beak nor feathers

We can argue as much as we want about whether moore’s law covers technological development in general or be pedantic like good old fundamental Christians and only read what the words say.

The bigger problem is that we have reached the era of what we could tentatively call “wal s’eroom”. Thanks to enshittification (another one of those slippery words!) I predict that technological progress reverses from now on by 50% every 2 years.

Sad to hear that veteran cannot think of more than one person.

How did he “leave” though, huh? Not “accidentally” by any chance?

Thought the same but with Queen

Good luck! The way I see it: Linux has its issues, but so do Windows and Mac OS (and others). The cool thing with Linux though is that for many problems you can create/find some form of error logs, google them, and someone online will help you. In most cases they have solved that problem already.

Windows problems often feel like black magic: Something doesn’t work, but all you can do is knock on your laptop, turn it off and on again, and pray. Unless you’re lucky and find a shady program online that you can download and install, hoping the programmers mean well.

With Mac OS, you can often solve problems by throwing money at them. But sometimes that doesn’t work and then you can’t do anything about them and just have to accept the one way to use your computer correctly.

So in that sense I don’t think Linux is “harder”. There are problems of course, but you learn to think differently about them and are often able to solve them.
