  • Yeah that Canadian flag looks a little off

  • I really hate living in Ontario sometimes… it really seems like we should be better than this

  • As a Canadian I’d really rather US Americans were not aware of us at this point in time

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • Ah, that’s actually what I was thinking of in my previous comment

  • For sure and I agree that should be enough but the average person is not good with computers and they don’t want to learn. They won’t understand the nuances of different distributions of Linux. Like try explaining the difference between a .deb, a .tar.gz, and a .rpm to a person who’s already hésitent about using Linux. Flatpak solves that by just having one download that any Linux install can use

  • Oh 100% but have you tried to explain how to use one to a computer novice? Like yes, the answer is usually “they should just…” but novice users will never. With flatpak, they get an experience similar to how MacOS works and a bit like how .exes work and it Just Works™️

    Edit: like I’ve had trouble showing people how to use the GNOME App Store which could not be any more simple. Anyone who has been convinced to install Linux already feels way out of their element so making everything feel as natural as possible is essential (and I mean, flatpaks are awesome anyway)

  • I love installing things from the CLI and prefer to only do it that way but Linux needs a single click install method for applications if it’s ever going to become a mainstream OS. The average person just wants to Google a program, hit download and install. If not that then they want to use a mobile-like App Store.

    Flatpak is kind of perfect at achieving both those things

  • Who is your favourite Anti Hero?

    Jump

  • Assuming he didn’t do it (he didn’t), he’s taking the fall for a saint so that’s saintly on its own imo

  • are you sure we can afford this house, it’s 75 whole dollars!

    For real though, my friend lived in the two bedroom upstairs apartment of a former single family house for about $2000 CAD a month and when browsing old newspapers online, I saw that the house was selling for the modern equivalent of $250k CAD in 1980. This is a SFH in the downtown area of what is now a 1.5m metro area… the house would sell for >$1m now

  • I’ve found it’s kind of a gamble on whether you have a cool manager or not. I have “unlimited” vacation and a chill manager and tend to take 5-7 weeks off a year which is quite high for a mid level programmer in Canada.

  • IE was really bad for web compatibility in that it really did not properly support the specs.

    Ignoring that, I’ve found any browser you don’t normally use is a lot snappier only because you don’t have any extensions installed

  • When was your house built?

    Jump

  • 1906 or earlier from what I can see from historical rental listings in our local newspaper

  • I use Arch btw

    Jump

  • It’s been a while since I installed arch manually, but wouldn’t that only help you understand a bit on disk partitioning and some basic commands like copying files/chrooting? You generally learn that stuff the first time your install breaks on any distro

  • It’s just straight up illegal for medical professionals to report drug use in Canada. The government doesn’t want people to die because they were afraid to go to the hospital

  • Are you learning another language? How far along are you?

    Jump

  • Yeah… I wasn’t actually learning a whole lot. I live right across the river from Quebec though so I’m hoping to move over there to immerse myself in French a lot more.

    I’ve always been bitter because my whole Dad’s side of the family is Francophone but never bothered to speak the language with me :(

  • I can assure you, the APIs I work on are not that put together looking. Maybe if you lit the food truck on fire, that’d be a good analogy

  • Ottawa desperately needs one of these. Centretown is completely owned by Loblaws

  • I just gave up Duolingo at 1770 days for French which hurt to do. I was mostly just maintaining a streak at this point and with the news of them using AI to replace their employees (even if they retracted it), I decided to quit.

    I’ve switched to Babbel now which has been really good so far
