Snap as a format is not proprietary but Canonical's Snap Store is. And Canonical's Snap Store is basically the only one in existence and (semi?) hard-coded into all the tools.

In any case, on a fresh install I usually throw out all the Snap stuff and go for Flatpak, because for some apps, these two formats tend to be the only options anymore.

Op is talking about Fedora not Ubuntu/Debian. This does not apply.

Eh, no. It only downloads the packages, then asks you to reboot and installs the new packages during the boot process. This means you get a clean system afterward in which no pre-update binaries are being run anymore. It just comes at the price that you need a full reboot for something that usually needs a session relogin at worst.

Even fruit salad is out by this definition.

I like the linked Jonathan Corbet LWN article.

The results are somewhat ambiguous. On the one hand, there seems to be a significant portion of the community that would prefer to keep Leap going in something close to its current form. On the other, though, there is also a lot of interest in rolling distributions, which are almost the opposite of how the core of Leap is managed. [...]

After looking at the survey responses, Brown came to a few conclusions regarding where, in his opinion, the openSUSE community should focus its efforts. By his reading, the respondents "overwhelmingly" support rolling releases; as a result, he said, any Leap replacement should look like Slowroll rather than Linarite. "It is the most popular with our users, and the option more closely aligned to what our contributors use themselves." (emphasis mine)

Hahaha. Good old Richard!

(I personally like the idea of Slowroll though. I hated when openSUSE stopped providing the GNOME:Next repos for Leap. Otoh, I am no longer using openSUSE anyway.)

Not really. A lot of hazelnuts come from Turkey, where Syrian refugees are often made to work for scraps.

I guess this is the same binary as the one you saw: BGAUpsell.exe pushes Bing

So, for the record, while I didn't really write anything in here, I did read the entire thread and learned a little bit from each of the top-level comments (bar the downvoted one): Thank you for the responses and thank you for debunking me!

I didn't realize this was such a common misfeature. I can only tell you that Taotronics ain't the right brand for you.

German Amazon has it. It is not particularly special o'er 'ere.

In terms of ergonomics, I much prefer this one, though.

What are you trying to do here?

They may just be other people's various devices. Maybe IoT devices or devices not fully set up. If you're living near a store/above a store, those might be Bluetooth beacons that track people through the store.

What..? No. Definitely not.

Having children perform manual labor in a mine is not going to be ethical at any point.

Pull them immidiately out of all palm oil sourcing and switch to alternative sources

The issue is a bit wider than that. In a lot of cases palm oil is what makes convenience foods so convenient. Palm trees are extremely space-efficient and comparably easy to harvest, so replacing palm oil with e.g. coconut oil or shea butter does not improve upon the situation at all. Palm oil also tends to be unnecessary and unhealthy to its consumers. Essentially, this means stopping production of entire product lines like, say, broth cubes.

And then, do note that a large portion of palm oil/palm products goes into bio-diesel, animal feed and cosmetics/medical products. None of which involves Nestle specifically.

Vow to replenish all lost palm trees affected by palm oil deforestation.

The issue is that rainforest is cut down for palm trees. Palm trees are just the monoculture that was planted afterward. You'd need to restore rainforest.

[Not gonna dissect any further here.]

Edit: I have a better idea, run a sourcing company like Cargill or ADM into the ground. :)

Don't bother with steps that are each different — making steps the wrong height/length is enough. If you ever walked up/down stairs that felt really weird it's probably because the builder ignored the international standards on that topic and built steps that are a couple centimeters off.

I mostly agree with the comment, however, mammals are sentient. Our current laws are massively influenced by us not really understanding them and by ideas such as non-humans essentially being "living machines", created as servants to humanity.

I see ... Now on to the second question, I asked that for a reason: I am guessing the UN is probably (one of) the best-funded organizations, but it gets money from pretty much all governments, not just a single one.

"highest" in what sense? Also, funded by a single government only?

Guise! You can have this man curse at you! Edit sudoers to add this:

Oh yes, I always wanted to go to California!
