Isn't that the plot to Mirror's Edge?
Moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu in 2008 as I needed to focus more on my job, moved back to Gentoo in 2022. Snaps were part of it, but really the lack of maintenance and vision around the apt repository was really the issue. More and more I was installing stray debs, or having to use flatpaks / AppImages for what what I wanted the system to manage for me.
Not that I've entirely stopped using flatpaks or AppImages, but the process of creating an ebuild is far simpler than trying to do anything with a deb. For a while I had hope about the ppa, however that became fewer and fewer. I do think that the battle to have a comprehensive software repository is a loosing one because of the way things are currently structured.
As in part of a review process?
Things like:
- Software update process
- Installing software which isn't in a repository
- Seeing how the community is for support ?
This. Although I'm not sure if it's about in-app display, but it needs to be on the store and on a website somewhere.
Where your friends are?
Sounds reasonable. But I don't like the 0
in the name.
Praying mantis dispute this.
Forgot /dev/hdx
?
In contrast 2009 was a actually a very bad year for a lot of people. I think what you're feeling is pretty normal. Try create some new fun, don't do too much in terms of recreating things except to confirm / dis-confirm memories.
Anyone else here concerned about what this means for the health of the ecosystem? If reddit was never sustainable and we are well and truly past a phase of consolidation there is potentially a lot of history / info to loose here. The damage has been done already by the funding model. While the return to federation and private hosting is nice, there is a potential "dark" age.
Would you support public transport improvements?
Probably because there is no interest in open standards. I find ical is more a file format than a transport format, an actual standard protocol around it would be great. Although I suspect that the "transport" was always supposed to be email.
