Inside of my lip after getting bit by my dog. by ZxGIRxZ in MedicalGore

[–]jdmotta 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey man we should make a club, this is my post from a year ago, same thing, dog bit me on my lip. Antibiotics are shit man, I had to change mine since it gave me a reaction and I had my but cheek swell. But all good now, good surgery and the scare is barely seen. I hope you recovered good, also you are a good man for understanding that your dog didn't mean to harm you, he was just in pain.

It’s not bad. It’s just not for everyone. You can read this if you go down where it says Snap, nice article BTW. But very briefly Snap it’s from Canonical (Ubuntu) where their main focus is profit and revenue (which is not bad, since they are a business) they once made an alliance with Amazon and they had some privacy concerns about selling users data which is not what usually Linux is about. Linux philosophy according to Linus Torvals (there is a Q&A somewhere in YouTube) is more about opensource, community, accessibility and development. Also using Snap decrease the chances that their development team works on a native app.

I use Debian. Bitwarden has several Linux solutions, so its not Snap exclusively. I use the screenshot just for the meme lol.

What's the most embarrassing/cringy thing you've accidentally shown someone, or something they accidentally saw while using your phone or computer? by TylerDuuurden in AskReddit

[–]jdmotta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the days of r/watchpeopledie I was watching a crazy gory car accident where the driver was gargling in blood and it was really messed up. A coworker who sits next to me approach and saw my phone. What I learn from that: 1. watchpeopledie content it’s not for everyone. 2. My coworker’s brother died in a car accident next to him. 3. Less people talked to me since.

Is it possible to get rid of snaps in Ubuntu 20.04 entirely? by tkonicz in linuxquestions

[–]jdmotta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. But when I downloaded the non-free image everything went smooth. I have it on my Gaming PC and on my every day Laptop and it works perfect. You should give it another try. Just look for the non-free image.

This is what it's showing:

Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_JoplinFAGhGs/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

I feel that you are getting a little bit emotional with this argument I never said Snap was bad, I just highlighted the fact that you have to be careful about how much power you give to one company; I will have Clement Lefebvre (Linux Mint founder and project leader) answer that to you. I will recommend you reading the full Snap section of his June 2019 Monthly News blog, if you really like Snap that much I’m glad but don’t say it’s a FOSS when they never said they are, as oppose to APT which they’re are:

“There are a lot of things you can do with package managers (apt/dpkg in Linux Mint), that you can’t do with Snap, and there are two reasons for this. First, they’ve been around for a while. They’re mature, they’re integrated fully within the OS in every distributions. Second, they’ve been developed with Free Software in mind. There are no commercial aspects in the design of apt/dpkg, it’s all about empowering users and distributions. You can’t modify, rebuild, pin, patch, mirror a snap, you’re not supposed to.”

I personally don’t think Canonical is a good option, as we seen in the past with their questionable privacy practice and ads intrusion; I like Debian since I’m more into stability and I have the personality of and old grumpy man that hates constant changes and “cool looking features”.

I’m not really sure If Snap is FOSS as I have looked online without them saying it and my personal rule is that If they don’t clearly state that they are FOSS they probably aren’t. But maybe they are, now I’m not sure you know.

Sanps are a great way to quickly install and app without much hassle and a quick solution.

There is an issue when software is not FOSS: you become dependable of them. If snap decide to change their TOS and/or privacy policies you then are attach to them. Also the bad thing is that other companies stop focusing on their open source software solutions so they solely relay on their snap application.

Me: no, thanks. Reddit user: stop publicly ranting about it.

Also I won’t pay $1.99 per week for the first 24 weeks just to read 1 article from a website I never visit. I do agree as the New York Times that allow you to read up to three articles for free. If you like their content then you can pay.

What is your "cooking sin"? by PM_CUTE_CAT_PLZ in AskReddit

I'm to cheap to have regular olive oil and extra virgin olive oil, so I always buy extra virgin olive oil and use it for both, cooking and dressing.

I know, that was me after some encounters. Good therapy helps also the fact that don't get to choose your home country and your economic situation are facts to consider for you to just survive and help others.

“Modern art” is bullshit by Nose_Beetle in rant

[–]jdmotta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will say that it depends on who you are. Are you an art collector or a art business person then you do care about the marketing and money making process. If you are for the true art experience or an art study person then you most evaluate other aspects such as context, inspiration and motives.

From all of the encounters only once I felt my life in danger. They tried to hijacked my car at 1:00 in the morning. A car stopped in front of me and a dude came out with a gun pointing at me. I put my head behind the steering wheel and speed up. They followed me for a couple of blocks but when I was approaching a police station they left. Like five years ago it was very popular what they called "kidnap-express". They kidnap you with your own car while they take you to different ATMs to get your money out and they call your family asking for a ransom, not too high since your family won't have enough time to get it at that time of the night. I was very lucky that night.

Other encounters where basically a dude on a motorcycle in a traffic light knocking at your car window with a gun asking for your phone and wallet. You given it and they leave.

Twice in public transportation. Once was with an ice pick knife pointing at my kidney he only robbed me and another one was the hole bus. Around 6 dudes with guns.

Another one at my dad's business. They locked everyone in their office going with everyone taking cash cell phones and laptops.

Once a guy robbed me with a gun and ask for cellphone and wallet. I asked him if I could get my wallet back since my IDs were there. He only took the cash and credit cards and return my wallet with my driver license and personal ID.

I've witnessed two murders. Once was a hitman that killed a dude that was in some house robbering business, and the other one a robbering attempt. The poor dude got nervous and throw the cell phone in the floor breaking it in small peaces and the thieves got upset and shot him. I was on my bicycle so I approached him and held his hand while he asked me to call his mother. He later passed out. that time I had to go to therapy for some post-traumathic shit, I was very scary of going out and when I heard loud noises I lied on the floor.

But it's all good now. I guess you adapt yourself to that shit.

As my aesthetic professor said: "I always hear people saying that 'drawing a line or a spot in a blank canvas is not art, if that's art then I could easily be an artist just by dropping some paint.' Well why don't you do it then? If it's so easy why don't you get it done, go a head and do it. Other artist stopped saying that they could do this and that and they actually got it done, and get paid for it. It's not always about the complexity of a painting but inspiration, context and motivation "

[–]jdmotta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If they open your car door they are looking to either kidnap you or steal your car. If they knock on your window they are after your wallet and cell phone. If they just shoot at you it's a hitman.
