The problem here is that for that purpose, Flatpak is better in nearly every way and is far more universal

I think Snap makes the most sense for something like Ubuntu Core, where it has the unique benefit of being able to provide lower level system components (as opposed to Flatpak which is more or less just for desktop GUI apps), but it doesn't make sense for much else over other existing solutions

because the package build script isn’t available?

What are you talking about? Every Flatpak on Flathub has their build manifest available on GitHub, you can fork or download it for yourself and change it how you'd like, just like you can with an Arch PKGBUILD

And the problem still isn’t solved because now the people who can set bad defaults still exist, they’re just different people.

For one, unlike with distro packages, lots of Flatpaks are made by the developers of their apps, so bad defaults aren't really going to be a thing for those since the developer would want to choose what's best for their own app

And for packages maintained by a third party, bad defaults are less common because maintainers don't need to account for each individual distro's unique package situation or specific dependency versions, and only have to package it once for every distro

Getting a server error when trying to view the modlog, but the rest of the site is working fine, weird

Just feel the need to say how much I love the

Though, oh right, now that lemmyworld has defederated from us, there won't be nearly as many places to use it 😩

Welp, just blocked another person I thought was cool over on Mastodon because they were boosting concern trolling about "Israeli civilians"

Just a reminder that if you're a western "leftist" and you're suddenly against Palestine now that they're fighting back, you're literally less radical than a lot of libs lol

Hey, I gotta ask, are reports on Lemmy of federated posts/comments sent to the source instance, or do they stay here on Lemmygrad? I think I remember Mastodon forwarding reports like that but I don't know if it's like that here, just wanna make sure I'm not alerting the admins of shitty instances with "CIA leftist" and "debate pervert" reports lol

"Wait, it's all Palestine?"

Context? I can't seem to view the comments people are talking about, and I don't have an Instagram account

Nah it was on Mastodon

God I'm so sick of anarchists directly comparing Marxists to Nazis while pushing literal Nazi propagana themselves when they shit on the USSR

And then they call us a "cult" when they literally operate on an ideology of vibes and aesthetics

Oh, and can't forget how they spend more time attacking communists than they do attacking capitalism, fucking CIA "leftists"

Was about to comment on someone's post looking for Linux help with the distro and DE I happen to use until I realized they're from lemmy dot ca who defederates us, so OP wouldn't see it 😩 Not about to make an account on another instance just so I can interact better with the

It's based on Silverblue instead of Workstation and has very different features, such as Waydroid set up out of the box, they also have a Steam Deck variant that more closely matches the SteamOS experience

Except that's also a lie, because as the new GN video talking about that response points out, Linus only contacted Billet about it after the GN video was posted, and they absolutely had not "arranged to compensate Billet for the prototype" yet

Its the only DE with good, seamless fingerprint support for example

What do you mean? I've never had a problem with it on KDE, Fedora at least

Huh? It does work lol, there's flatpak uninstall --unused --delete-data (and you can also pass --delete-data when uninstalling individual Flatpaks, to be more selective), this is just someone's new GUI app to do the same thing, and you could already do it through KDE Discover for example

I think it'll never stop being surreal to me to see people from Mastodon instances comment on posts here

I have Fedora on an old Lenovo Chromebook, the on-by-default btrfs compression goes a long way on that 16GB eMMC

If they're not from Lemmygrad, then it's probably safe to assume they're for real

HoloISO is essentially a version of Valve's SteamOS 3 repackaged to run on systems other than the Steam Deck, since Valve hasn't released a general-purpose one yet

People generally use it so that they can get as close to the Steam Deck's user experience as possible, though most people usually agree that a more standard desktop distro is a better idea unless you're using console-like device entirely for gaming

Why do you think it would? Oracle rebranding RHEL and selling it as their own distro in direct competition with Red Hat is no doubt the biggest reason they made this change in the first place
