I’ve used flatpak for a while because it’s the default ob Fedoras GUI Software Center, but I’ve recently switched back to dnf and native packages where I can.
The thing is, that I have a shitty 500GB SSD with a shitty 50Mbit Internet connection (which is closer to 30Mbit because my house still has lead cables instead of copper). So downloading 300+ MB of libraries for a 2MB Program is just not feasible for me.
I’m using chrome on phone, because it’s basically part of the operating system, but I did like Fennec. It’s a fork of Firefox mobile with a few more privacy features (or so they advertise)
I’m very much out of the loop actually, but the meme mentions Loli porn. So I assumed the question was about that.
Also, I think somewhere in this thread someone posted a link to screenshots of the whole ordeal, and there is a drawing of a very young person fellating a horse.
Many people find sexualized depictions of minors reprehensible. Regardless of whether or not they are illustrations or photographs.
Another argument I have heard is that people who consume loli might someday not be satisfied with drawings and escalate their consumption to photography or even try to act out their fantasies with real children.
Also, lolicon is outlawed in many jurisdictions (or at least a grey area) since it might fall under cp laws.
Personally I am suspicious of any “slippery slope” argument, but this topic is definitely not something I want to take a strong stance on.
I’ve just looked it up and I’ve paid ~300€ last year. But only because I neglected to tell them, that I’ve started training for a new job so my dues would actually be much lower. I’ve just changed it and this year I will pay maybe 30€ or so
I work in IT and my boss who is by all accounts very competent in both programming and administration, yet all his documentation basically says “remember to set DoTheRightThing=True”
Castle + Starfield, so probably Firefly again? (I still haven’t watched Firefly)
The German equivalent is “Not all cups in the cupboard”
I think it’s a mix of the way journalism works in the age of overstimulation (everything is the best/worst anyone has ever witnessed) and old(er) people being unfathomably tech-illiterate.
And I don’t even mean that negatively. I often really am unable to fathom how disorienting even the slightest change in a software they’re used to is to them.
If my mother were to use the birdsite, and they’d change their theme from blue to red one day, she would literally be unable to use it, because “it’s all different now”
Also, mastodon does have some usability problems, though they are not that big imo.
Yes, of course. But afaik the idea of flatpak is, that every program has a list of libraries and versions of them that it wants. So when program X was built with libfoo version 1 and program Y needs libfoo version 2, you basically download the library twice.
When you go through the package manager, you just download the current version that’s in the repository. This can lead to problems when a program expects some functionality that has since been deprecated, but I never actually had issues with that.
Also, a lot of the libraries a flatpak downloads are already installed on the system, just in a different version, I noticed.
I’m on a home computer that I use by myself, mind you. So if something breaks, it’s just my own problem. If I were to use software in production or even just administer the computer of a tech-unsavy relative, I’d likely use flatpaks or similar for stability and security reasons.
