  • the ubuntu machines at work are nearly unusable bc snaps don't play well with our intranet setup and it just so happens that ubuntu thought it would be a brilliant idea to make firefox, the default browser, a snap

    slack is also a snap so the support team had to install it by hand so that we don't get locked out of work meetings while at the office

    this sucks so much bc ubuntu is basically the first distro that comes to mind when ppl think "linux", so it shouldn't make us deal with this kind of bullshit. i wish they went back to the days where ubuntu was just a boring repackaged debian

  • cool article

    which makes me wonder why there are people who still avoid systemd. i get that alpine can't use glibc, but what about everyone else? i just see vague statements about systemd being "too big" or going "against unix philosophy", but never concrete disadvantages of systemd compared to other pid-1s

    edit: also, i wonder how viable would it be to port systemd to musl or whatever alpine uses so that they can take advantage of it

  • i think i know what happened: the text looks different depending on the client/interface. i first read it on thunder and it looked fine, but i'm now on lemmy web using the vanilla theme and it looks like this:

  • as a brazilian, i have a few ideas as to why latam participation in the survey was so low and i don't think it has much to do with low linux usage

    1. lemmy isn't very popular in brazil yet, even inside the brazilian fediverse. my current instance is a few months old and it is one of the first brazilian lemmy instances
    2. unlike europeans, the overwhelming majority of brazilians is monolingual. only 5% of brazilians have any level of english knowledge and 1% are proficient. even if lemmy was popular in brazil, most people wouldn't even see the survey anyway

    i don't know for sure about the rest of latam (and the global south for that matter), but I'm willing to bet both of these points apply
