Can’t wait to try it!

Page 236 is Terns. I mean, if that’s what you’re in to…

I don’t like Flatpak, so that makes it an easy choice for me. Flatpak apps never quite integrate properly

I like having Flatpaks as a fallback option, but if something is available in the arch repos, aur or chaotic-aur, I’ll always go there first

And then there’s queensland…

That’s exactly why I used them!

I’m running a rolling distro on my main desktop, when I first moved over to linux (a couple of years ago now), I kept breaking things without having the knowledge to fix them. And then I discovered snapshots!

The one thing I would say to be aware of, is to make sure you have a bootloader hook as well, that will let you actually boot in to the previous snapshots from the boot menu.

I use CachyOS and it has this stuff as out of the box options during the installer.

I like not using government and mega-corporation mandated systems designed for privacy invasion and control of what people can access.

I could care less about apps, because I can just avoid them. My concern is the OS level stuff, and currently, all of the legislation is around requirements that the OS itself capture birthdate data.

The moment that becomes mandatory at the OS level, is the moment I drop whatever it is that is forcing that issue. Systemd was the first to pre-emptively comply with facilitating the change at scale, so chances are, they will keep doing the same going forward.

It’s most likely where I’ll be hopping if unavoidable age gating comes to systemd

The only shift now is Microsoft shitting the bed so hard that people don’t want to deal with them.

That’s a pretty important difference…

Queensland has had 50c fares for a couple of years now. Queensland “not following suit” doesn’t exactly mean the same thing as states leaving their public transport at full price

Well shit. I’ve lived here for 30 years without owning a car. Guess I have to buy one now…

Chemistry cat!

All you had to do was brew a coffee…

There was even an entire standards document drawn up (as a practical joke), called the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP 1.0). To this day though, there the server status response 418 - I’m a teapot still exists. It was defined as part of HTCPCP as the error code returned when you tried to get a teapot to brew coffee :)

Web nerds took their coffee seriously! Or maybe they didn’t? Does doing up an entire standards document as an april fools joke count as serious or unserious?

It’s also a John Farnham song

It could be Leucospis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucospis) which are parasitic wasps that prey on solitary bees

That was my bad. I was espousing federation, not AP specifically, and I see that federation is built in to the idea

It seems to me that activity pub could still be useful for a couple of reasons. If you live in the suburbs of a city, then bring able to also access an instance for your suburb and your city might be useful.

And if you live in multiple locales, or if want to stay connected to your old home town etc

All I can tell you is that I’m doing my part

I say kill 'em all.

Are you from Buenos Aires?
