It’s an app store made for distributing Flatpak applications (desktop apps that work on every distro where Flatpak is installed, most distros install flatpak by default now). Flatpaks also allow isolation between apps and a fine permission system like you get on a smartphone (check out Flatseal for that)

Useless comment, it’s there now

You should not be using any kind of digital communication for criminal activities. OP, if your only goal is to prevent companies from scanning all of your personal life to show you tailored ads, then either is will be fine. I do prefer Proton though, as their products are more complete

Say what you want about pornhub and how they’re bad (and you’d likely be right), but I have to say, their public statistics are always super interesting (and well presented as well)

I don’t see how that addresses what I said in my comment?

I don’t get the rich getting richer in the title, how does owning a home (for the vast majority of people, on a mortgage) make someone rich? About 65% of the Canadian population are homeowners. 65% of the population owning 90% of the wealth isn’t that surprising or that wrong. What’s truly wrong is numbers like 1% of the population owning 30% of the total wealth in the US.

It’s always the homeowner boogeyman when in reality the problem comes from the government spending money wherever and not applying strict foreign home purchasing laws that keep increasing home prices. People who own one or two houses are not rich and are very unlikely to drive a Porsche, and even there, if it is an individual who owns that property, that person will have to pay their fair share of taxes on their income and property taxes.

What could they possibly have 270GB of source code for? 3.6M files for what?? Wordle?

Oh I see woopsies

Biden for sure won’t get back in he’ll be like 260 years old at that point

Je peux pas croire qu’il y a une cinquantaine d’années on allait dans le sens contraire a ce qu’on fait aujourd’hui. Il y avait du progrès incroyable avec HQ les cégeps la séparation de l’Église de l’état et j’en passe, et les politiciens maintenant sont en train de tout défaire ça et ils gardent en place ce qui doit changer parce qu’ils agissent par intérêt personnel…

Je pense que la CAQ ont compris qu’ils avaient perdu d’avance les prochaines élections, on dirait qu’ils ont retiré tous les filtres populistes et qu’ils font ce qu’ils veulent

I don’t have an answer, but still thanks for sharing this, I might listen to this at work tomorrow. I always like discovering new music and I get tired of my playlists real fast

Great! I love seeing Linux get system level auth with PAM

Objectively the world is a much better place than it was even 30 years ago. Child mortality rate, global education, life expectancy, extreme poverty and many more are subjects that have seen drastic improvements and will continue to get better. The reality is, apart from a few cases, that the world is much better than it was and it will keep getting better. And unless a new world war comes in, nothing will stop this progress.

Yes, very tired of this and I’ve noticed the fediverse in particular is especially terrible at it. Mastodon or Lemmy, doesn’t matter, I see much less optimism and good news compared to twitter or hackernews. I don’t remember Reddit because it’s been a year since I deleted my account there.

I think I might start scaling back my fediverse usage a little because as much as everyone says I have to build my own feed, it doesn’t matter because there’s like 15 total users on here that keep postings the same bad news from the same 2 accounts that get related by the remaining 12 users. And if you mute the bad accounts then your feed is the void.

I can’t believe we are at a point where twitter which has an incentive to enrage their users and especially now that they encourage people to post engagement bait (by paying users), I see less bad news and negativity there than on here.

I noticed the fediverse tends to be extremely left-biased, with things like on mastodon you get blocked because you didn’t put a content warning on a post showing a recipe because someone could be offended by chopped apples or something like that. I think generally the way the left tends to work is by showing the evils of the right (and the right by outright lying of course) to push for change. This can work but the downside is that you just only see this shit all the time and it is very heavy to take in every day.

It honestly feels like the good news never get relayed on here, and when they do, they are rarely popular. France has put the right to abortion in their constitution, but on here everything we hear about is how one clinic refused an abortion some time 2 years ago for some reason and they are getting sued for it.

One other thing I just thought of, is that the somewhat positive news, are mostly about someone or something losing a case. Just now I saw an article posted about how a big Russian company is having trouble because of the war, and that’s considered good news. Even the positivity on here is based on negativity (or at the detriment of someone else). And to get the records straight, I think it is somewhat good that big companies are not doing so well, I just don’t give a shit and I would prefer to see what next technology will make my life easier or what law got passed that will make other people’s lives better.

I mean… It’s open source and is not dependent on specific hardware, I’m pretty sure AMD was expecting others to use it
