If you write it down and sell it you 100% do violate copyright

They will try. This is about OS-level APIs. In order for a browser to to install and run PWAs, it needs certain OS APIs for e.g. home screen installation, storage and notifications. iOS currently has these APIs but Safari severely limits what you can do with it. Now the DMA will force Apple to accept other browsers, which have no such limitations. So, Apple now wants to remove these APIs altogether and kill PWA support outright, before that portion of the DMA takes effect.

There probably will be a lawsuit and Apple will probably lose, but it will take years to resolve that. And in the mean time PWAs remain dead and the only way on the iOS home screen in paying the 30% app store cut.

I have a Brother laser printer. I print a lot. It just works, it’s cheap and you can use off-brand toner. It’s great!

My guess is that you have Docker configured incorrectly. Its internal IP range probably overlaps with your real network, so all requests are routed to Docker. Uninstall docker and reboot the server. If that works, reinstall docker and properly configure its internal networking.

That’s just fashion you don’t like 😄

It’s called fashion. Give it a decade, something else will become fashion.

Distro maintainers are a lot better about keeping libraries up-to-date than random application developers. They will even patch applications to work on newer libraries, even when the app developers do not.

There’s also auditability. If e.g. OpenSSL (or some other library) gets a high rated CVE and Debian ships a same-day patch, I know I am safe. I can verify that I have installed the patched version, and I know my applications use that patched version. Not with flatpak. Now I’m at the mercy of a dozen app developers, many of which probably value security less than the Debian Security team.

IMHO it’s a mistake for Fedora to drop its own packages for flatpak. But Fedora appears just to be a RedHat experiments playground these days, not a user focussed distro.

Don’t get me wrong, Flatpak is fine if you want to install stuff from Joe Random Developer off the internet, but I trust the Debian maintainers a whole lot more. If they ship it, i can trust it.

Distro native packages are:

• Better integrated into the base system
• No maintenance for the devs (they are usually maintained by distro package maintainers)
• Better interoperability with other packages and dependencies, thanks to the package maintainers
• No duplicate or outdated dependencies
• More space efficient because they use system dependencies instead of packaging their own
• Launch even quicker since they don’t go through flatpak
• No missing or broken features due to flatpack limitations or sandbox issues (e.g. inter-process communication)

If an application is new or niche or small then flatpak is definitely a good option. But if there’s a distro native package then that one is almost always the better option. Flatpak is nice for when there is no native package.

Only install flatpacks if the distro repository doesn’t have the application in question. But I agree about snaps. Never ever use snap packages.

It depends on the country. GDPR is not a law. It’s a framework that countries use to implement national laws. GDPR doesn’t say anything about one-click rejection, but some countries added it to their national law.

He said that should be added

There are plenty of public toilets that charge a small fee. Train stations and airports for example. Also at gas stations it’s pretty common. But I have never seen it at a restaurant or bar. Maybe sometimes there’s a sign that says it’s 50 cents for non-customers or something. But never for customers.

I have ended too many mails with :wq

No! I use the “Caps” key a hundred times a day! I have it mapped to output “Esc” though…

Thanks, I will check it out!

I also have high hopes for Pop! OS, but it looks like they are trying to be a full DE instead of just a set of Gnome extensions now.

I have far too many windows open to display everything at once, even with my 3 widescreen monitors (the curse of being a developer). I usually need about 4-5 workspaces to organise everything. Sometimes more. Often there are also multiple windows arranged on a single screen (I use tiling, so windows never overlap). I know by heart which application is on what workspace and screen (because it’s always the same). Because each workspace has a hotkey (Win + a numbered key) I can instantly pull up any window that I need, without searching for it.

Multiple workspaces per monitor, like OSX has. Currently it’s multiple monitors per workspace. So, switching workspaces switches all monitors instead of just the active one. Both Gnome and KDE get this wrong. Only esoteric WMs like i3 and awesome get it right, but they are not suitable for most people.
