At this point, Canonical is so desperate that even if you try to use apt on the command line to install certain packages it’ll override it to install the snap version anyway:

$ apt search firefox

firefox/oracular,now 1:1snap1-0ubuntu6 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  Installs Firefox snap and provides some system integration

As far as I know, I’ve only installed Flatpaks using the terminal. The most annoying thing about them for me is having to type out the fully-qualified name of the software (e.g. org.mozilla.firefox instead of just firefox), which is a very terminal-specific issue, LOL!

War with who? I’m posting this from Kubuntu and I’d happily agree with you that Snap should fuck off and die. (In particular, the backend being controlled by Canonical makes it objectively bad compared to Flatpak.) Even among people like me who tolerate Snap (for now…), I really don’t think you’re gonna find anybody who actually likes it, let alone enough to champion it.

Can’t start a war when there’s a consensus!

Only thing it didn’t have like the Basilisk was BT functionality, which in my use case wasn’t a deal breaker.

Batteries are kind of a deal-breaker for me anyway. If I were to get a wireless mouse, it would have to be the kind that’s powered by induction from the mouse pad.

I also like my Redragon mouse, a “Griffin M602A-RGB”. I picked it entirely because (a) the shape fits my hand well, with well-sculpted indentations for my thumb, ring, and pinky fingers, and (b) it’s cheap, but not so cheap it isn’t still decent.

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

My other reply to you was literally entirely composed of a supporting link. Quit being disingenuous.

You are factually incorrect.

Liberalism has always been a right-wing philosophy

Who cares? It’s not as if the dipshits who need to hear it would know the difference anyway.

If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.

Granted this is a best-case scenario, but the salaries for profs at my alma-mater (a public tier 1 research university) are public and I looked one of them up once. He was getting well into six-figures for teaching classes.

That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.

I mean, sure, that’s very funny, but please don’t help feed the right-wing lie falsely equating democratic socialism with communism.

My fiance is a K cup.

Eww, how can you stand to be with someone that consumerist and wasteful? You should dump her for a French press. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Your question is like asking how to convert a cake into flour, sugar, milk, butter and (unbroken!) eggs.

I was going to mention that this was one of the reasons I like going to the last remaining drive-in theater in my area, since it doesn’t do that. Then I realized that it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a movie there, and decided to check what’s playing. 3 of the 4 “now playing” movies and 13 out of 15 “coming soon” movies are sequels or reboots. And now I’m mildly infuriated, too.

Please explain how decorating the Brandenburg gate in pride flags supports genocide.

Be specific.

I think he’s just taking the opportunity to point out that Amazon is committing tax evasion by fraudulently misclassifying those employees as contractors.
