It is profoundly disturbing how much social media information the media just.... dumped out there. This could even be the wrong dude!

I would scour my presence from the internet if I thought it even mattered. I'm sure there are mirrors of everything I've ever posted or liked going all the way back to the early 2000s. Even if I deleted absolutely everything (that I could find) and 100% degoogled it probably wouldn't matter at all.

This is a very depressing article.

This is the only one that isn't fake

Me too! Most people don't get it, which is unfortunate. I'm glad to know there are others out there.

I think it depends. If your mortgage payment is $1000 and you're renting the space for $500 then you and your tenant are both sharing the financial burden, and I don't really see it as parasitism like lots of other people.

If you're renting for $1,200 then yeah everyone is going to hate you, no matter how few tenants you have. Even more so if that's your only source of income. Why should someone else be living your paycheck to your paycheck?

The selling point is that it is immutable, not that it uses snaps (which it does). Fedora does the same thing with Silverblue and IoT. You don't install rpms, you install flatpaks. You can install rpms, but you're not really meant to.

Since Canonical refuses to get onboard with flatpak (for now) they use snaps instead of debs, but snaps aren't the direct appeal.

The whole idea is that you have a core system in a known configuration. Updating the system just means using a different image. If an update fails, then you just roll back to the last good configuration. Bazzite uses this to nice effect too.

There are a lot of advantages to end users and enterprise admins with systems in this configuration.

The universe was formed by the collapse of a massive star. Our massive stars make new universes. The cycle continues forever.

You can sink the ship with jury nullification, sure. But in terms of stopping hundreds of millions of people from seeing this dudes face, no you can't.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

So what? Private corporations are just as cruel.

Corporations are the problem, not their trading status.

As best I can tell, no such thing happened. Feel free to provide some credible sources to back that up though.
