That, right there, is something that’s said right before someone learns the definition of “defenestration” the hard way

That means he fired himself too, right?

… Right?

Thanks, I’ll check that out!

I wasn’t asking about a Linux client for Teams, I was asking about an open source alternative to Teams

Are there some open source Teams alternatives you’d recommend?

Yes, the reason they aren’t is they want people to buy new phones, not fix and upgrade their current ones. This is not hard to figure out.

Maybe the sand is the opposite of a non-newtonian fluid, is solid at rest but becomes basically fluid with vibration

Though I imagine sand would naturally behave this way if it isn’t packed too densely

Debian doesn’t have sudo by default, you have to install it manually

Not sure what they mean by “non Ubuntu variants” though since most other distros add it even when they aren’t Ubuntu based

“You’re absolutely right, we wouldn’t want to take too long to break the network or open god rights vulnerabilities”

So, basically, just like Windows? Sounds like they’re succeeding then

I love that mentality to development

If it has a buffer overflow exploit that caused it to execute arbitrary code is his response that people shouldn’t be sending that much data into that port anyway so we’re not going to fix it?

(I feel like this shouldn’t require a /s but I’m throwing it in anyway)

Fedora with Flatpaks is open and up front about whether you’re getting a Flatpak or a system installed package, and lets you choose if both are available. And installing through dnf/yum isn’t going to do anything at all with Flatpak.

And what about Debian with debs? That’s literally what apt was designed to work with. If it gave you Flatpaks, or the flatpak command installed debs, that would be more like what Ubuntu is doing.

The fact that Canonical shoehorned snaps into apt is the problem. I’ve heard bad things about snap, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never used it, and I never will because of this.

When I tell my computer to do one thing and it does something completely different without my consent, that is a problem, and is why I left Windows. I don’t need that in Linux too, and Canonical has proven they can’t be trusted not to do that.

In many respects, I think the scare manipulation they’re pulling when someone updates their system up try to get them to buy their subscription service is worse, implying that they won’t be getting all of the security patches they need otherwise

If you have Ubuntu installed in the room, then yes

Last time I loaded up Ubuntu, considering it for a server, the moment I saw that, I deleted the VM and took it off my list permanently

I have no interest in that kind of manipulative BS

You’d think with all those penguins…

That’s a great feature, actually, it saves you from using Windows

Perhaps because Steam is the launcher we actually choose to use? That does make a big difference…

Yes, the launcher I use for almost all my games which gives me a single interface to install, update, and run them. It has purpose. It’s the launcher I’m actually intending to use.

Eats Ass games (as one example) loading up their own launcher in the middle of that and providing no actual benefit other than wasting my time and resources is NOT something I choose to use.

Whichever one is primary or third party, I don’t really care about the semantics of it, but the extra launcher that isn’t needed or wanted is what I think of when someone’s talking about third party launchers.

I dunno, I tend to think of the useless thing that comes up for a game I bought on Steam and run through Steam to be “third party”… Maybe that’s a stretch, but whatever, it’s just unwanted and unnecessary at that point
