Personally, I use Debian and gravitate towards flat paks, but I’m starting to question whether this is just one of those hills Linux users arbitrarily choose to die on a la systemd/wayland? I suppose one of the advantages of an opinionated OS is a vast array of opinions
I don’t mind Snaps in a vacuum, but the unforgivable thing is that they messed with the package repo so that instead of installing a deb package as I intended, it installs a Snap stub which I did not want. If Canonical hadn’t forced them on users in that way, I’d have been fine with them.
Instead, back to Debian I went (sorry I ever left, actually)
I hate that people buy hamsters for kids, to die in random ways. I’ve kept hamsters all my adult life, and they all live to old age because I take care of em and don’t stress em out like a kid would. They’re so delicate, I wouldn’t give the care of one to a kid.
Counterpoint: it’s a good way to teach responsibility to kids. You wouldn’t leave 100% of the care of a dog or cat to a kid, but for a hamster or goldfish, they can be fully responsible (for better or worse).
I never had hamsters growing up and I have no idea that little kids often got them killed in “random ways”. I can’t even fathom what the fuck this means tbh. Do they mean that people accidentally squish them all the time or something???
Tbh I’m a single adult who loves alone and was curious about getting a small pet, but idk if I’d be able to deal with something of decent size like a dog or cat. What are hamsters like?
Yeah, now that I’ve gotten a full night of sleep I see it’s definitely a hamster. The tiny ears, the front-facing eyes, the distinctive splayed hind legs. Idk why I thought it was a guinea pig.
