e8d79 , to linuxmemes in Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.
@e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Haters aren’t worth listening to. Doesn’t matter if it is flatpak, systemd, wayland, or whatever else. These people have no interest in a discussion about merits and drawbacks of a given solution. They just want to be angry about something.

renzev OP ,

I know, right!? Add gimp to that list as well. I can go on and on about shortcomings of gimp despite being a happy user. The average gimp hater, on the other hand, doesn’t have anything to say besides “the UI is dumb and I can’t figure out how to draw a circle”

Feathercrown ,

“The UI is unintuitive” is a legitimate complaint

uis ,

“Intuitive UI” results in Gnome.

Is it really intuitive if I have to open dconf-editor to change the system font?

uis ,

They call it “intuitive UI”, Linus calls it “‘users are idiots, and are confused by functionality’ mentality of Gnome”

Feathercrown ,

It’s not always a zero-sum game.

uis ,

Elaborate? Most of good UI comes from KDE.

Feathercrown ,

What I mean is, makingg a UI more intuitive does not necessarily make it more… Gnome-ey? It can still be effective, customizable, etc.

uis ,

“Intuitive UI” crowd usually means Gnome-ey/Apple-ey design.

In reality customizable design is more intuitive, because you can customize it to your intuition.

kate editor would like to have a word… They did my lady kate dirty with the latest updates :( The top level File menu was so much better and now I don’t know where to find the configuration to get that back, and have on my work computer a stupid single button in the top right corner which opens the “menu bar”, except vertically…

someacnt_ ,

Wayland gets the hate because compositors are authoritative so you cannot e.g. install your own window manager, taskbar, etc. It would be good if there were specifications governing these, but there isn’t.

IamAnonymous , to mildlyinfuriating in eBay makes you wait a week to rate a sale as anything other than positive.

Did you reach out to the seller to confirm? In my experience, if the listing has expired which happens when only one 1 item is being sold, eBay doesn’t show all the info after the sale. I try to look up old orders and this happens a lot. The sellers are usually responsive and care about their ratings so they will provide any listing clarification or even a refund before you can leave a negative review. eBay is also good with buyer protection if the sellers refuses a refund. I suspect eBay cannot change their reviews so they are giving time for the sellers to resolve any issues.

While not having any idea of their history, seeing how they ended up it seems rude to even ask.

Still, it is completely surrounded by Croatia’s claims, and located in the narrow Bay of Mali Ston that Croatia already has a bridge over, so if Bosnians get naughty again they can just turn their sea access into a lake just by dumping enough sand/clay/silt from the existing bridge.

Omfg, this line killed me xD

idegenszavak ,

Other 2 answers describe current situation, but the origin is much older. In 1699 Repubublic of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik) ceded Neum to the Ottoman Empire, to prevent land attack from Venice, as Dalmatia was part of Venice that time. Than BiH and Croatia just inherited the borders.

MargotRobbie , (edited ) to memes in Ad blocker blocker blocker blocker…..

It’s times like these that online advertisements need to get creative to get ahead in this never ending adblocking arms race, just like the very subtle advertisement in the car chase scene in the Academy Award nominated film, “Barbie”, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.

Foggyfroggy ,

I know right? The other day I was drinking a coke and wondering about side effects of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, and it occurred to me that advertising could be a lot more creative and subtle.

MargotRobbie ,

But there is something to be said about superliminal messaging as well.

Instead of trying to subtly influence people to watch your movie, why not tell them directly to watch your movie instead?

CoggyMcFee ,

Forget telling you, they should just start playing the movie and bill you

booly ,

Rick Astley has been doing this for years!

Alright, fine. You can have 20 miles or so, but nothing more. Oh and all the islands around it are still our's.

BarbecueCowboy ,

That’s 20km, only about 12 miles.

saltesc , to lemmyshitpost in Praise the Lrod!

I read that as an an explicit on itself. Like, “Jesus Christ! How bad is this?”

I know it’s not intended that way, but it’s clever. Like a self-sustaining joke.

Rolando , to memes in Forget it.

On the bright side, they save a lot of money on their Coast Guard.

HobbitFoot ,

That’s what Peru tried to tell Ecuador.

doubtingtammy ,

I think you mean like Peru and Chile told Bolivia,

HobbitFoot ,

Yeah, probably.

Rolando ,

I think a better summary would be: Chile told Bolivia after Bolivia tried to screw it over on an international treaty, and Bolivia dragged Peru into it. It’s an interesting history from many perspectives: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Pacific

@gh0stcassette@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

If you really hate flatpak just make an arch distrobox and download off the AUR. Or install Nix or something

TheRedSpade ,

That’s what I’ve done with my deck. Some things just aren’t available through discover, and the Firefox build on there has behavior that I don’t like or know how to correct. Distrobox gives me access to the Arch repos + AUR with persistence that you can’t get on SteamOS without it.

gh0stcassette ,
@gh0stcassette@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

SteamOS is an arch derivative, so you could also just install arch, add the SteamOS repos, and set the steam UI in gamescope to launch on login

Presi300 ,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Or just use Arch… only for half of your AUR packages to be broken and end up still using flatpaks anyways.

ILikeBoobies ,

I do sort of wish Nix was a more popular distro agnostic solution

gentooer ,

Install Gentoo and put the package on GURU, it’s really easy (and .ebuild > PKGBUILD)

Contentedness , to funny in I guess I assumed she had died decades earlier.

She lived long enough to sue Outkast over the use of her name in their song ‘Rosa Parks’.
