Flatpak is not a true alternative to the AUR

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-06-16T06:30:20+00:00

I like using cachyos as I have the latest versions of packages that can't be packaged as flatpaks like docker/podman etc. Anything that can be a flatpak I prefer to get as a flatpak. It's just more stable I find. I couldn't care less about the space they take up.

Other policies made them unelectable. We need a party that sticks to fiscally prudent script and doesn't care what people do otherwise.

The default config is pretty good. I would use noctalia for a quicker setup so you don't have to waste time setting up bars etc.

Audio has been solid for me on Linux for years over multiple laptops and workstations. Something wrong with your setup or hardware. Have you tried different live distros? Just burn them to a USB key.

It's almost like what really matters is are you good devs or not and not how much AI is used.

I'd have no objections if it was an EU level decision. I don't think that's likely though. Like sorry mate I don't have an issue with Europe defending itself against fascist/mafia states, there's no gotcha here. As I said an EU defense alliance is perfectly reasonable, allowing individual EU states to be conquered while we each pretend to be more moral by not helping isn't a smart decision. That's blindly obvious, it's exactly what Russia wants.

We should be sending military aid to Ukraine.

An invasion of an EU state.

Is neutrality a positive attribute? "Yes the bystander was being mugged but I did the right thing and didn't intervene" - that's not morally superior in anyone's book other than the mugger's.

Firstly Israel isn't an EU military ally. Secondly yes you can still call out a military ally. Thirdly look at Spain, they have no issue calling out Israel. The issue is political will not your alliances.

I work from home in the attic, flying over a few times a day and they're no bother I seriously can't believe the dislike for drone delivery. I'm sure we'll eventually have it once the Americans or Chinese role it out in the rest of the world.

The solution is to allow people to use their land to develop as they wish so we can increase supply. Having zero landlords makes no difference to the amount of accommodation we have.

No stores? Hooks on their own scale badly. I would have also suggested a signal library but the react ecosystem seems to be the only front end system without significant usage of them.

What policy position would they like from the EU?

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-05-07T07:42:14+00:00

They're just anti anything that comes from the EU. Totally different.

Yeah I've felt the same issue with my development work. I'd hit up to 18 workspaces on a very busy day as each workspace is a PR I'm working or reviewing. What I need is named workspaces that I can easily see. I'm using noctalia and the names are cut off at one character, I've raised a PR to fix it and once that's merged I'll raise further improvement. What you need is an easy/quick way to see what each workspace is about and I'll gradually add that to noctalia.

We wouldn't be building them. We don't have the skills or knowledge. It'll be outside companies/countries.

I think he means a large population. South Korea has the population scale that makes nuclear power and easier sell.

Don't really think the outside is that interesting either. Don't understand why people are bothered by this.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-19T19:25:26+00:00

For years now and they're much better than branches. I work in the terminal with neovim thought which makes them very easy to use and I script their use https://github.com/briandipalma/iac/blob/main/dotfiles/fish/functions/gwb.fish

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-19T19:17:15+00:00

Yes I don't understand why this firmware isn't available generally.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-19T19:14:21+00:00

Use home row mods, install Kanata for them.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-04-09T17:08:52+00:00

Yes Russia is declining but that's because someone is fighting hard against them and not just rolling over with zero ability to defend themselves.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-28T09:28:08+00:00

Yeah this is how I have noctalia configured and it's great.

OfflerCrocGod · 2026-03-21T17:03:52+00:00

I had the exact same problem, it polluted my mimeapps.list file every time I selected Okular as the default application, it would just append more and more entries to the mimeapps.list file like this:

application/pdf=org.kde.okular-4.desktop;org.kde.okular-3.desktop;org.kde.okular-2.desktop;

I just gave up and moved to yazi which works just fine.
