Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?

Sure, at least until software you want to use is flatpak only, e.g. Bottles

I agree that there are much bigger problems, but those bigger problems have solutions that are not allowed under capitalism and USA imperialism, so labels is all we’re allowed to fix 🤷

The legal drinking age in Australia is 18 years old, and it has always struck me as odd that it’s so high in the USA

Australian sports fields are covered in alcohol logos So the entire time you are watching football with your children, they are exposed

Ban all advertising for alcohol, too, please

I know Google just donated to Trump’s inauguration, and also does all the stupid surveillance capitalism crap that Google does, but I just compared prices, and Google Workspace is a few dollars per month cheaper per user than Proton is, for my needs (family, custom domain names, etc)

We’ve been on Proton for a few years, and it’s fine, but we do also have Pixel Android phones, and not using Google services constantly feels like swimming upstream, plus all family members also still end up having to use Google services for work, anyway

It’s just not practical for me to de-Google, which is a shame, so I think I’ll be switching in a few months, unless pricing changes significantly :S

Thanks for sharing! <3

Okay, let’s go with xterm running bash, where the user ran ls, so xterm -> bash -> ls …

• ls never talks to xterm directly, it’s stdout/stderr are provided by bash
• bash effectively outputs a grid of characters to xterm, xterm doesn’t know about prompts or words or line feeds, just the grid
• every time ls outputs a line, bash adds a row of output to the grid that it sends to xterm
• if there’s not enough space for a new row, bash discards the top-most row, moves all other rows up by one row, and then inserts the row for the ls output

Now imagine a hypothetical fork of bash or some other new shell …

• the only thing different is the direction that the rows move off the edge of the screen when running out of space, that’s all

Thus, this is entirely a shell problem, with a shell solution

However, what I’ve neglected to mention so far is that terminal emulators and shells are almost certainly optimised for rows dropping off the top edge and new rows being added to the bottom edge

So, the role of a terminal emulator in this scenario could be to provide ANSI control characters or other protocol for operating just as quickly in the opposite direction, sure

There’s also https://www.waveterm.dev/ which seems to be an open-source attempt at something sort of like Warp/Jupyter

I don’t mind that it uses the web stack for rendering, but that’ll probably turn some folks off

Seems like a shell feature, and not a feature that a terminal emulator would implement

The whole thing is weird and the CEO especially so, and not weird in a good way: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html

Gosh darn it I only just onboarded to Omnivore a few months ago Now I guess I need to find a new place to store bookmarks

One example I can think of is Widevine DRM, which is owned by Google and is closed source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widevine

Google currently allows Mozilla (and others) to distribute this within Firefox, allowing Netflix, Disney+, and various other video streaming services to work within Firefox without any technical work performed by the user

I don’t believe Google would ever willingly take this away from Mozilla, but it’s entirely possible that the movie and music industries pressure Google to reduce access to Widevine (the same way they pressured Netflix into adopting DRM)
