Without context this is meaningless. Are you gotten blocked in Github from a specific repository? And why posting it here, what do you try to achieve?

I felt getting ripped off by just reading the article. My recent PC build has 32 GB, is cheaper and the upgrade to 64 GB (meaning additional pair of 16 GB) only costs me around 100 Euros. It’s nice that their devices are probably more effective and need less RAM, which the iPhones proved to be correct. But that does not mean the cost of the additional RAM units are more expensive. Apple chose to make them expensive.

I just made a premature comment and deleted after starting to read the blog post. I did not expect that.

Nice website. There is also Zeal: https://zealdocs.org/ and for other type of documents. There is Kiwix: https://kiwix.org , which I use to download the entire Wikipedia.

BTW in case you didn’t know, a bare cd without arguments will bring you to your home. I have alias setup to quickly navigate one or two directories up and print the path then:

alias ..='cd .. && pwd'
alias ...='cd ../.. && pwd'

Should works with every shell and I don’t even need to type cd itself.

I don’t think this is a good thing. Atari didn’t prove themselves in the recent years, so my trust is shaken. Also taking the company Digital Eclipse from the free market is concerning, because they did awesome jobs with restoration of older games for other companies. Will Atari allow them to work on other projects? And what is the goal here? Does Atari only sell their old stuff and do not produce new games? And if Atari fails, then will Digital Eclipse be resolved into nothing?

I’m worried for Digital Eclipse, because that’s an awesome game house I do not want to lose in the gaming industry.

It’s a Lose-Lose situation. Reddit has a fetish for that…

Reddit might cut off Google and force users to log in to Reddit itself to read anything, if it can’t reach deals with generative AI companies to pay for its data.

On the one hand I really hope this happens. On the other hand, it would be devastating to the communities. But this shows how Reddit has the last say and can hold the content hostage on their platform. People need to stop using Reddit and switch to open and free alternatives, that is not controlled by a single entity / company. The problem is, there is lot of good legacy content and solutions that would be not available for most people searching the web.

But for the search engines who do not respect robot files, would still be able to index. Right? Ironically an AI could also write summaries…

• package it once, instead many times by many different maintainers
• solves the dependency hell
• makes it easier to run multiple versions of same program (or driver) or install a program without it’s complete desktop environment
• sandboxed, better control of permissions (at least with Flatpak) and makes easier to backup the whole program version and state
• same package manager across distributions (at least with Flatpak)
• useful on LTS distributions which does not get new packages or programs or even beta software, other than security fixes (think of Debian)
• useful for write only distributions such as SteamOS
• does not need sudo to install new programs (at least with Flatpak and AppImages)

For simple applications this is probably not that wild. But the more complex programs we talk about, the more helpful are these formats. Programs like OBS or Firefox in example is a lot of trouble to compile quickly. And imagine more of these programs. Package maintainer of your distro could use the time in a better way. Those who want to package it themselves (probably Arch) could still do, but most who want to provide the newest Firefox could just use Flatpak, coming directly from the developer day 0.

One also does not need to wait until its packaged by your distro maintainer and it comes directly from the developer instead (maybe). The original developers often do not support all distros and would like to have a known state and version of the program that they can rely on, like a Flatpak.

That being said, I don’t use Flatpak. But I used it in the past and it was helpful in some cases. Even on an Arch based distribution. Currently I use an AppImage for a program that is not in the official Arch repos. The AUR has it, but the -bin is outdated and the -git version building from source takes too long and power. Even on my new modern machine it would take at least an hour for every new version. Or I just download the Applmage once (88 MB) and use the self updating system of it (which downloads newest version automatically and renames it to current executable filename). I’m talking about RPCS3 emulator.
