Quoting: scaineI agree with all of that... but it's not really relevant here, is it? His point was that if you care, you can't turn off snaps. But as a computer user (as you put it), why would you care? Just use the computer. That's what Ubuntu is good at - getting out of the way and just working.

E.g. because your primary daily driver, the browser, starts slower?

Oh no no no, never say that. Take any device (a computer, a door, a hose, whatever), and if most users have trouble using it, that's definitely a design flaw of the device.

Here, see this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yY96hTb8WgI [External Link]

At work we've got, on a single walk through a single floor, doors that
* are just opened manually,
* must be opened manually, but only after you show your entrance card to some device,
* open automatically after you show your entrance card to some device, and must not be moved by the handle they've got, because otherwise, most probably, world explodes.

Please, if you constructed a door so stupidly that it must not be moved by its handle, AT LEAST DON'T GIVE IT A FU**ING HANDLE!

Quoting: CreakI must say, I'm a bit disappointed by iFixit here, it doesn't seem fair to me.

Which would be strange, they seem to be sort of a business partner with Valve here...?

Quoting: scaineb) I wondered if it was just Poettering-hate.

That was my impression as well.

And while I can't say much about this person, in general I'm of the opinion that social competence does matter, not only technical one, as open source should be about working together.

I like it how devs are taking [External Link] Verified as a badge of honour...

If I'd get a dime every time I read "... with a twist". :dizzy:

I guess there's not much to be said about it. If you're into point and click, you already got it. If not, you wouldn't buy it.

Always nice to see such late updates, though.

Did I get that right, there's devices with too loud fans (hardware wise) and other ones - so it's a matter of luck at the moment what you'd get?

Quoting: JelloThe problem is I can't hold you to that. So many people have these really bad takes online. It always turns out wrong and I can't do anything about it. I will probably remember this 3-4 years later and be like didn't someone have this really bad take about a steam deck 2 never coming and be scratching my head where that bad take was.

Have a reminder with KAlarm. Once did this for talking to someone about semething 10 years in the future. (Already expired now.)

But yes, I feel you about prophets online.

Quoting: EikeIs there anything to do for me to make it show up here, after registering an Patreon?

There should be a "Patreon Linking" link in your User CP.

Thanks! Didn't read far enough. :unsure:

PS: To Be honest, I still don't understand all of it. If you're not automatically matched, you can set your supporter mail address, if that doesn't work, you can manually link - but the manual link text suggests that automatic linking is not yet working? Or not being reliable yet?
