TBF, almost everyone I work with uses Linux. There’s virtually no conversation about it. It’s just what it is, like even the weather is more deserving of discussion.

Once all the boomers are dead, y’all wanna adopt Symmetry454 or nah?
Behold Symmetry454, the TRUE true ideal.
Being called illiterate because someone disagrees with your definition of “sideloading” is a thing you can only experience on Lemmy.
That distinction is completely valid, but I think it ultimately misses the point of the “sideloading” discussion.
I think no one would disagree that installing apps on mobile devices via ADB (Android) or Xcode (iOS) is sideloading. But if I toggle the “Allow installing from unknown sources” setting on Android and install APKs through F-droid and other means, is that sideloading? You say no, the Wikipedia article about sideloading says yes. That also circumvents security features of the OS to install software. The difference comes down to whether or not a mobile OS provides an easily accessible setting for developer tools that facilitates the installation of software from other sources to the point where it becomes possible to automate it in a store-like fashion. It’s not a hard distinction and more like a continuum of how many hoops a user has to jump through to install and maintain software from other sources.
I think it’s useful to think of the “sideloading” discussion mainly from this user-oriented perspective. The technical distinction of needing versus not needing a separate device is technically valid, but it misses the point IMO.
10·1 month agoImagine having to drive 50m to do a U-turn. Literally communism, amirite?
But seriously, that’s probably an intended feature, because people randomly turning into oncoming traffic is one of the main causes for accidents. Also note the double yellow line in the “before” image, so turns were prohibited even then.
2·1 month agoA chameleon makes no sense. Suse is S, as a humorous reference to its name, which is like 50% S. Similarly, mint is a minty M and fedora is a literal fedora.
Top row is mint, fedora and suse. Don’t have time to list the rest, but maybe other people can help out.
Putting Pop in B tier has such a chaotic energy, I can’t help but respect that. It works on so many levels.
Didn’t realize Cosmic went 1.0 in December. How is it? I tried it a few months ago and really liked the tiling features and overall feel, but it was still a bit rough around the edges.
14·1 month agoIt’s a reference to Alberto Grandi and his theses about the origins of many popular Italian dishes that are perceived as “traditional” but did not become mainstream until after WWII (and that Italian cuisine before that was much more regional and less homogeneous).
I think there’s something to those arguments, but it is worth noting that he’s not really a “food historian” as he’s often described but a professor of economics and management.
Mood.
