Does it really count if the thanklessness is well deserved?

They should just swap the names for pickup artists and garbage men.

Flatpaks definitely do follow the system theme by default. I’m running Silverblue, so all my apps are Flatpaks.

As a European, that’s indeed how I interpreted this.

Honestly my hope is still that the EU intervenes, which I consider to be around 50% given they’re a generally a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to regulations.

When Apple becomes my last hope, I’ll know times are bad. Having said that, it’s one of the parties that may actually oppose. The other big guy that may have some power in this, Microsoft, is probably more likely to adapt this catastrophe of an idea.

Just a small bit of nuance that I neglected to give before, I do live in Sweden and $43k gets you much further in Sweden than in the US.

It’s a above median income, which is about $38k. (Both numbers are rounded, in total im line 6k above median per year). But still very significantly below what I can get with my same degree in industry.

It’s a known thing in academia, the pay is not great. Even very high ranking professors, who essentially could have a CEO-like position in industry, still don’t crack six digits here.

It’s not like the government is exactly paying fair wages themselves either. Ask any teacher, nurse, researcher or anyone else working in the public sector.

As a scientist, I’d get a major wage increase if I’d switch to the private sector.

Have become? If anything, iOS have historically been getting more customizable over time not less.

And I don’t think it’s really accurate to compare iOS with MacOSX and earlier, entirely different systems with different use cases and form factors. I’d recon if Apple released a phone in 2002 it’s be just as locked down.

Not trying to defend this by the way, just surprised by the usage of the word “become” here as if it used to be different for iPhones.

Care to explain why?

Leaving voicemails? Seems my dude never left the early 90s either?

If you think four years of technical debt is a lot, wait until you hear about Microsoft Windows.

You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.

Debian is so incredibly different from the other three. I honestly don’t really understand why so many people seem to consider that switch.

I’m currently on Silverblue and I love the image based system they’ve got going. So if I’d switch, OpenSuse MicroOS is high on my list. Otherwise NixOS or Arch would be an option as well. Maybe Arch given the amount of users (which typically means slightly better support with bigger changes of things having been tested against it)
