Why is Israel word between quotes?

I didn’t have problem updating debian stable to a next version. I got problems when I jumped 2 stables at once. Which was to be expected.

It does not reduces maintenance. And it costs hard drive, and with heavy use, probably ram too

Redundancy of dependencies in different versions, might also be loaded in ram in different version, which can add its own kind of problems in some circumstances.

Maintenance is only reduced on the surface level. The complexity you don’t see as a problem is the actual maintenance problem. It’s not a problem only if you’re not the one dealing with integration, maintenance or security.

Piling abstraction layers is bad design imo. For performances, complexity and maintenance.

My opinion on flatpak is that it only allows developers to be loosy with dependencies. I’m convinced it will fall appart in a decade or two because it’s too messy and bloated as a technical solution.

There are a lot of things an average consumer don’t wa’t to deal with, but that’s true for windows as much as Linux. The question is not what they want to do, but what they need to do and if it seems difficult.

A command line can also be distributed as a bash script btw. The difference with an obscure executable that will edit the registry on windows it that the bash file can be checked much more easily.

I have a brother who is not into computers. But he has a shitty laptop (with only 3gb of ram) so windows stopped working on it (because Windows update). So I installed a Linux on it, and he is very happy with it.

He even managed to change the desktop by himself. Installing some stuff was not obvious (like making a scanner work), but I did it guiding him by phone and text.

Command line is in fact much easier in this case than any gui. In a gui, you must know it by heart to correctly guide the person. A command line you can fine tune it on your side, send it on discord, and he only has to copy/paste. That is much more powerful.

And the security is not less than downloading an executable on a dubious website.

It is true that specialist tend to overestimate the skill of unknowing people. But when it come to computer, people also forget that normal people always went for the help of specialist for their technical needs. Nothing changed.

I was in agreement until you talk about flatpak…

Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.

Considering general relativity exists, it’s fitting that each place has its timezone.

I’m not a US citizen, so no, I’m not to blame. And if you ask me I’m happy for the downfall of the USA. But I’m sad for the victims that will happen because of fascism. And I’m sad that liberals would still rather blame leftists than admit their own failures.

Biden is not responsible for what Trump is doing. He is responsible for letting it happen. He failed to fight maga during the 4 years he had all the powers to do it.

To be accurate, it is not a fault, it is a failure. His responsibility is on this failure, not anything else.

Twitter is not a social media anymore, it is a propaganda platform. There are regulations for media in civilized places. Twitter does not respect the law, thus it shall be banned.

If it were up to me it would be seized, because there is a public interest to this platform. Seizing it to make the algorithm transparent, fair and legal.

What do you think “it’s us or chaos” is doing?

Liberals are causing fascism. They are directly responsible.

I blame the liberals because they had the power for decades and they are actively supporting the fascists in order to fight the left. They are responsible.

But as always liberals will always, always pretend nothing is their fault. They took all the decisions for a century, but somehow they shouldn’t be accountable for the problems they brought on the world. They’re spoiled children if you ask me.

Trump is not a conservative. Fascists and reactionaries are not conservatives. Far right is not the right, eventhough the right did sliped into far right because of the liberals.

The problem is liberalism, something the boomers inflicted on us.

No, a language is not just a language. I fact, it’s a bunch of compilers. How many there are and the hardware they work on is what matters.

And as a matter of fact, rust isn’t as much of an industry standard as C++ is.

Your mistake is to consider an election is a rational competition. It’s not. Not anymore, because medias make it impossible to know the truth. So it is more like a football match. People have the team they support, and for most nothing will change their mind because there’s too much propaganda. When almost everything is propaganda, you get to choose the reality you “prefer”.

So the point of the campaign is more about convincing people to vote in order to defeat the opposing team. Or to persuade the other team to concede.
