where do you live where stuff’s so expensive? genuine question, because honestly, i’ve never seen such pricing here

most of the stuff i get from amazon (which is, to be fair, not much and mostly non-food/perishables) has free shipping (without prime) to amazon lockers or to your house if you have a >25€ (or maybe >40€ now…?) order

also, may be biased because i live in france, but like, a loaf of bread is at most 3€ here, even in the most remote villages, you’ll likely not have for more than 1.30€ for a baguette

what’s your point? if flatpak makes it easier for developers to package their software and easier for users to install it, there’s nothing wrong with it being famous

sony isn’t a person

the package is maintained (will continue to install on modern ubuntu versions), but the software is unmaintained (no bug fixes, no new features, will stagnate and eventually become obselete as incompatible with future desktop standard modifications)

and when they’re caught, they’ll dispute the claims with regulators, like every company does all the time.

i remember digging a bit into the french data protection office v. discord a while back, when they got hit with sanctions for not respecting gdpr, and they disputed every single claim, sometimes arguing in real bad faith, like them claiming they handle very little private user data, so they don’t need to do data protection analysies like the law says.

considering google’s sheer empire on data, i imagine they play the same tricks, but like 1000× worse

i swear i argued with someone that said killing lightning would create so much ewaste, and that still sounds like a stupid arguement to me…

you could, but they definitely pushed you to use a single account everywhere, even logging you in automatically to your google account in chrome if you use it on google search or vice-versa

you can definitely back up apps and most files using adb and a computer, and probably even your phone itself by doing adb over the network back to your phone

also, i think there’s a way of setting up a different location provider in the developper setings on android!

the desktop shell is mostly javascript though

i mean, you likely already could get some out-of-spec chinese chargers… that’s Always been a risk when goong for low quality stuff!

it’s that wayland wasn’t ready, and now is ready. it took a long time, because building a new protocol like that takes a while if you want to do it well, and lots of coordination between many people. it still has issues, but they’re being adressed. slowly, because x11 was full of half-assed solutions done quickly, and they don’t want that to happen again

X11 being reliable because Xorg devs aren’t stupid

xorg devs are wayland devs. nowadays, most of the people that used to work on xorg now work on wayland. they’re not stupid, they realised that x11 is too dated for modern systems (see asahi linux) and now are working on a replacement

afaik, their while thing is that they do everything on-device, so your device is the only one with access to your messages

has Firefox ever not been the first to support new standards?

doesn’t really matter when it’s a google standard…

yeah, i think the 30% is fair enough, given the amount of stuff you get as a user by using steam, like

• good cross-platform support
• a working friendlist and chat system
• remote play together
• the workshop and community features
• profile customisation stuff for those that like it
• whishlists and gifts

i honestly feel like while they’re a monopoly, they don’t do anything other companies can’t do, their cut goes to fund features others simply don’t provide, so it’s entierly fair for them to be more expensive than the competition

i used ShowMeTheKeys!

= is not a terminator! it’s a modifier for the previous key: e= -> ə!

i did set up both space and enter to commit a word though, yeah!

to answer to question in the title, on top of what was already said: i just code them myself. of course, it doesn’t work for everything, but for simple programs, i can write a script or a proper thing that does the specific task i need!

no, it was available as an option in OBS already…
