That looks like the species that shows up every year.

Uh, most apps are still for Windows. That's why so many people use it.

If you tell someone to use an alternative OS, but then they are left on their own to run alternative versions of apps that don't work the same, forced to give up features they are use to, or run dozens of different programs through Wine or Proton or emulation or virtualization or whatever, JUST BECAUSE "Microsoft bad", they're going to laugh at you and go right back to Windows.

It's taken Linux 30(?) years to make it to 4%, and a lot of that is recent because of games. It's still a niche platform.

"Canonical announced it was building an all-snap, immutable version of Ubuntu for home users called Ubuntu Core Desktop."

I don't like the sound of this.

Step 1: invent imaginary problem/scenario

Step 2: ANGERY

They usually cover/conceal nipples, so you don't see everything.

In the list of "games", the top item is the "Just Talking" or whatever the category is called. Click that and try various sorting.

Punishing the poor and making things harder for them to dig out of their situation is certainly for the best!

I installed Firefox (Android version) on a Chromebook to see if I could keep 2 browsers with separate profiles and setups.

The Firefox browser on a Laptop computer looked awful. A narrow phone UI, but stretched really, really wide. It made no attempt at utilizing a wide tablet layout.

Prometheus made me angry at everything and everyone. There was such an interesting story there and it just seemed like every character did the wrong thing. Then the movie ended on what felt like a starting point of something incredible.

...and then Covenant comes out and just throws the entire Prometheus story in the trash and gives us a generic monster movie with yet another blue-balls ending that will never be resolved.

We'll never get a complete story of Prometheus or find out what happens after Covenant.

"Flawed" is an understatement.

Gee, I hope it has more androids fingering and blowing and a bunch of scientists doing REALLY stupid shit.

Edit: the article may as well have just said "Ridley Scott swears it will be a hoot and a holler this time and definitely isn't going to be fucking stupid again" because of course he is going to praise it.

Wake up, babe. Evolution 2.0 just dropped.

You say that like it's a negative thing.

Some people actually want to know things and are curious about where they came from, what they're made of, who their family is.

Submitting your DNA can increase your knowledge. It sounds like you can't believe people would seek knowledge.

After realizing the Godot package in Ubuntu was terribly outdated, I checked their snap store.

There are half a dozen Godot packages on Snapcraft, uploaded by random people. There is no indication of which a user should actually get, as none are "official". The one package that has a "verified" check also has a full description of just the word "blah", so it's clear it's not the real one and the "verified" checkmark means nothing.

Anyone that wants to upload something can. Non-functional, non-tested apps, others' work, abandoned apps, malware, etc.

And then the system ties your hands behind your back and refuses to let you control things like updates.

Snaps are an abortion and it has been turning people off to Ubuntu like crazy.
