When someone complains about flatpak being bloated I always assume this is what their system is.

I’m not Admiral Patrick of the former dubvee.org I just play along to waste the time of those who believe they are successfully harassing him.

Technology@beehaw.org•DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.English
1·11 hours agoA while back I had a free month of dashpass but even with the money “saved” it was still about the same as if we actually dined out and tipped.

4·11 hours agoIt wouldn’t have been nearly enough, they ended up owing like 100x that much. From a business standpoint that 1.4M was probably a reasonable amount to risk losing.

184·4 days agoNot sure why you’re getting downvoted, I was already convinced it was LLM generated and I didn’t even notice that bit. The fact that their response to you is completely different seals it.

159·4 days agoI wish this was a real discussion prompt and not a (probably LLM-assisted) rant disguised as a question because as it reads now it’s just more of this:

If you don’t like something, that’s fine, but getting upset because [new thing] is different than [childhood thing] is not productive.

28·6 days agoWe all are, but it’s going to be a long time and my concern is that it won’t be soon enough. It was convenient that Windows finally crossed the enshittification Rubicon just as Linux was ready for mainstream adoption. But mobile Linux is far, far, behind anything else. Although I do think that immutability and flatpaks are a good foundation.

74·6 days ago“Lemmy” can be terrible because everyone who was IP banned from Reddit made a Lemmy account and a raw unmoderated Lemmy feed is truly insufferable on a level Reddit never came close to.
There are good instances out there with good mods so I recommend suggesting one of those. I’m not going to suggest any here because you’re already on Lemmy and the whole point is to find one that suits your style, not mine.














My pet peeve is when legit news orgs call them “Prediction markets” because they are literally just gambling apps.
