maybe .exes were the better binary executable format all along. linux has a lot to learn from windows it turns out

@digikitty_x86 a system that doesn't work over the convenience of downloading a file and duoble clickig it like a got dammn .exe ????

@frost i solved my problems installing windows 10 where A/V broadcasting stuff just worked instead of having to pore over config files

@frost maybe it's just not compatible with ubuntu. the flatpak installer thing kept spinning and never would load for me. but graphical interfaces are so 1992, i should've tried the commandline instead, i know

what sort of brain fog made snap and flatpak look like more appealing propositions to linux users than appimages?

@arielmt honestly between snap and flatpak i think both are egregious mistakes and the linux development community needs to use a "non-free" computer again to figure out what is it that "normal" people expect of them

@arielmt i never liked it because of how much resources it took to do anything and barely ever worked for me, but i wonder if those things improved since the last time i tried

i ended up just compiling things from source

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog.

Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it.

Write the blog post you wish you had found.

This was a fun, challenging build of a really cool mobile suit, I love the detachable core fighter and the little Vernier thrusters around the chassis, definitely worth it

Observation abut the TBS clique 

One thing I notice about the fediclique is that, they literally do not post anything other than political stuff. Like, you never hear about their interests, what they like, etc. It's almost always entirely activist posts, and it's always the most aggressive ones at that.

In my experience being online, people who are only ever activists and do not dedicate any part of their lives to non-political stuff, tend to be really unkind people. Part of this is why I don't even consider myself an activist anymore. Activist crowds are rife with abusive power dynamics and cult thinking, and just generally unkind people

@rc2014 @phranck @mwichary yeah we assume it's for the same type of old-fashioned slide projector for eye charts that our childhood optometrist whose clinic looked to date back to the 70s used to have

these days the ones we've been to have been run from windows 7 netbooks just opening the images in image viewer
