  • I mean yeah like you can be a pedant about it but all in all its a statement that makes sense. Apps on both android and ios are very sandboxed, even if you go out of your way to install malware there's very limited damage it can do, barring zerodays in the sandboxing itself.

  • Convenience? The fuck are you talking about?? Have you never heard of soluble coffee? I carry a jar of soluble coffee in my backpack when I go to uni. They have those instant water boiling taps on every floor in my faculty building, I can make myself a mug just like that. Is it good? No. But certainly better than starbucks.

    But whatever, I'm not going to argue with someone who's trying to convince me that the thing I do almost every day with no issues is actually impossible.

  • It has always striked me as a rich people thing

    Fastfoods marketing themselves as luxury brand is a relatively recent trend. A decade or so ago starbacks, mcd's, etc. really were "cheap, fast, tasty". Fast food used to be a convenience for when you were on road trips and couldn't make your own food.

    All these different fastfood brands built up such a large reputation around themselves that they practically became a part of our collective conscious. At some point they realised that instead of selling food, they could sell their brand. And that's when it stopped being cheap, stopped being tasty, and generally became a "rich people" thing.

  • So I used to think that people hated on starbucks because "hurr durr real men only drink black coffee" and starbucks had extremely sugary and milky drinks that had barely any actual coffee in it. "No problem" I thought, "I like sugary drinks!". So I went to a starbucks at the shopping mall close to where I live and ordered something and it was literally just a glass of ice cubes with like three sips' worth of milk and syrup squirted into it. It genuinely felt like the barista forgot one of the ingredients or something. I thought it was a fluke but when I was at that mall at a different time I got a different iced coffee and it was the same stuff: glass full of ice cubes with a squirtling of syrup and milk. What even is the point!?

  • Systemd and network manager are deliberately malicious I'm with you on that one but I feel like the new kernel-specific features like capabilities and namespaces are actually pretty neat. Like, they don't even break backward compatibility. If you had a program that needs a special capability on linux and you wanted to port it to bsd, you could just make it a SUID executable. It's not like capabilities offers a new API that programs use or something. Same with namespaces. I see a lot of people complaining about docker somehow being bloat or something, but, like, it's still just linux on the inside of the container. Anything that can run in docker can run just as well outside of it. Worst-case scenario is that you have to change some environment variables from host.docker.internal to localhost. You're not being forced to use it.

  • Gnome

  • See, most people have no clue that "gimp" is a sex thing. They just see it as a funny-sounding acronym. In an actual work meeting, the people who do know wouldn't say anything about it to avoid being seen as the weird ones.

  • Who needs stable, feature-rich desktops anyway

    Jump

  • Honestly I can't imagine why anyone would use either of these when there are lightweight DEs like XFCE and Cinnamon that are not only easier on the system resources, but also more stable, customizeable, user-friendly and more pleasant to look at. I stopped taking gnome seriously ever since they came up with GTK3. They had a chance to fix it with GTK4 but instead they somehow made it even worse (as if client-side decorations wasn't bad enough, now theyre doing clientside shadows? Seriously!?!?). KDE is allegedly better because it gives the user more options, but anyone who's actually used it will tell you that it suffers from the same kind of bloat and braindead design decisions as gnome.

  • They need to be simple and carefully constructed

    Yeah, that's the difficult part. It's always better to go with the principle of least privilege (which is Capabilities is trying to do) than to just cross your fingers and hope that there are not bugs in your code. And who exactly is going to police people to make sure that their programs are "simple and carefully constructed"? The article I linked is about a setuid-related vuln in goddamn Xorg which is anything but.

  • Huh, good point, I never stopped to consider what licenses are behind Alpine.

    I agree with your point that pushover licenses should not be the way forward (I personally license all of my major projects with GPLv3 only), but I'll still keep using alpine because I like it from a technical standpoint.

  • Partition management is the single most chaotic chore that you come across as a casual computer user, change my mind. Depending on the partition table and filesystem, each filesystem can have zero, one or two labels assigned to it. But there is no consensus about what to actually call these labels. I've seen "partlabel", "label", "partition label" and "name" with no obvious way to tell whether the tool is talking about the label stored in the partition table or the label stored in the filesystem.

    So just use UUIDs to refer to partitions instead of labels, right? Wrong! Each partition has both a UUID and a PartUUID which are not the same. It's simple once you are aware of that fact, but if you are not, it can lead to hours of confused troubleshooting. I learned this the hard way.

  • Still gathering up my courage to make the switch. The better security / isolation between apps is a huge feature for me. But porting all of my shitty xorg-specific scripts and hacks will be a pain.

  • And for people who are still confused: The confusion is the whole point of the joke. Nobody understands what the hell "cow tools" is supposed to mean. Maybe it had something to do with research showing that other mammals, not just monkeys and early humans, were capable of making tools. But nobody knows. It's absurdist humor
