I believe this is correct. Ubuntu installs the snap package if there is an equivalent package available. So even if you use apt, you still get snaps.

Yeah, I can't login to Boost or Jerboa on Android, so it's not just you having login issues.

I had a comment from a client who was surprised that I used Android. Apparently even the top of the line Galaxy S23 Ultra is inferior to iPhones. But I can sideload apps, run a terminal, have a real file system, and use customized launchers and app icons. But it's not an iPhone so everyone has to complain about it.

The whole situation is ridiculous.

I strongly prefer permanent standard time, because I prefer morning light to evening light. Also, the fact that states can choose permanent standard time without congressional approval means that people who are pro daylight saving are holding us back from abolishing time changes.

Scientists and medical experts agree: more morning light is beneficial for health since it sets the circadian rhythm for the day. Too much evening light delays sleep onset and makes it difficult for teens to get up in the morning.

Standard Time is the obvious choice and I will die on this hill.

Imagine if debates weren't aired live either. It would just serve as proof as to what fools politicians made of themselves in order to provoke a reaction. Imagine if the only way to know about what's going on in a debate was to read the transcript or read commentary from the press. If the recorded video of what happened during the debate is only released after elections are over, it disincentivizes making the debate into an entertainment shitshow.

Yes but the browser engine isn't really the main selling point. Kagi is building Orion Browser with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It's privacy respecting, fast, and extensible. Support for other platforms are also planned.

Webkit! It's currently only available on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS.

It's kinda absurd if you think about it. We're here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

The problem is that if the resulting state is a democracy with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians, Israel will no longer be a Jewish state. This is the reason why I believe a democratic Palestine, with control of all Israeli and Palestinian territories, equal rights and protections, rule of law, separation of church and state, an independent judiciary, and a system of checks and balances, would be the best solution to this problem. However, neither Israelis nor Palestinians have shown to be particularly accepting of a democratic, one-state solution, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

The problem is religion being the founding basis for the Israeli state, and the solution is separating religion from the administration of the state.

Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

I basically only use git merge like Theo from T3 stack. git rebase rewrites your commit history, so I feel there's too much risk to rewriting something you didn't intend to. With merge, every commit is a real state the code was in.

After the (temporary) defederation announcement of earlier i checked the Lemmy repo to see if there was already a ticket on the federation limiting option like Mastodon’s that people mentioned Lemmy doesn’t yet have. Not only i didn’t find it, i also saw that there’s about 200+ open tickets of variable importance. Also saw that it’s maintained mostly by the two main devs, the difference in commits between them and even the next contributors is vast. This is normal and in other circumstances it’d grow organically, but considering the huge influx of users lately, which will likely take months to slow down, they just don’t have the same time to invest on this, and many things risk being neglected. I’m a sysadmin, haven’t coded anything big in at least a decade and a half beyond small helper scripts in Bash or Python, and haven’t ever touched Rust, so can’t help there, but maybe some of you Rust aficionados can give some time to help essentially all of Lemmy. The same can be said of Kbin of course, although that’s PHP, and there is exacerbated by it being just the single dev.
