Suppose kubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu were packages to be installed on top of debian.

How would you do that? Debian would not create and maintain a "core debian" variant just to be installed then receive the extra packages. Would the *ubuntu packages replace, instead of add on top of default debian packages?

Then where would the updates come from? Both debian and *ubuntu repositories?

What about dependencies? Would debian have to coordinate with all *ubuntu maintainers (and they too, between them) for compatibility tests every time debian needed to update one of its packages? Or they'd just update and *ubuntu would have to scramble to release fixes for what had been broken?

Not to mention convenience; would you have to download debian, download *ubuntu, install debian, then your *ubuntu?

Why not then package the "core debian", with the tested component versions that work with the *ubuntu packages you're downloading? Hey, and what about script the installation to install both "core debian" parts and then *ubuntu automatically? That's an innovative idea indeed. No, wait, isn't it sort of what they already do today?

It's not like there's a Linux headquarters with a centralized organization that releases all multiple distros just to feed the hobby of distro hoppers. Distros are maintained and packaged by different people, and it's already a lot of trouble to keep each part in sync.

Funny rollercoaster reading this.

As a Brazilian, first I was sort of proud and intrigued; "wow, they were really desperate to get here". (why?)

...Then I read they actually thought they were going to Europe. (haha, c'mon, check the ship's route before you do that)

...And that two of them asked to be sent back to Nigeria after finding out they were in Brazil. (now I'm sort of offended)

Meh.

There's a typo in the landing page: "senetence".

That's a ludicrous idea, why would they put humans diguised as sun bears? They're obviously racoons disguised as bears.

Just checked in a Brazilian Portuguese real made from trees dictionary, indeed comes from arabic (indicated by the "ár fulân")

Wow! It most certainly came from that!

TIL, thanks! (brazilian here).

Sometimes you break up because you've been cheated, and no matter how good are your next partners, you'll always be moaning about everything that's "not like it used to be", because face it, you didn't mind being cheated and just broke up because you didn't want people to say you were a cuckold.

Go back to her, nobody will judge.

A peer reviewed meta analysis of a significant number of sources concluded that it's just OP.

Well yes.

Your title uses "instead of". "Instead of" means a replacement, not a coexistence, let alone a 10% participation.

The original title doesn't suggest that.

When vlemmy.net died permanently, it took my only login into lemmy, and my list of subbed communities.

Having learned the hard way about the volatility of theninstances, I don't want to have to go through the login creation and resubbing communities everytime this happens, and I like my login (it's the same for everything sinxe the 90s), so I created "fallback" logins in other instances (sh.itjust.works, feddit.nl, lemmy.world), as backups, and also to "reserve" my login name.

I have all of them configured in Jerboa, when any of them is down, I just switch. Interestingly, the one that I've never seen down is the smallest, feddit.nl.

What did you break?

Yeah, let's embed a MS Word window in the interface instead of the text box, for a full wysiwyg user friendly experience. It could check the user's environment and log in to Office365 using their credentials, thus having access to their templates and onedrive too.

Hey, hey, what about... Teams integration? That would be super user friendly. We could read, comment and post directly from our cosy familiar Microsoft friendliness, never ever needing to know, worry or care about any underlying technology.

But wait! I clearly remember having to know, worry and care about how to use wysiwyg editors. Can't we instead go back to using raw latex tags and vi as the post/comment interface?

Mold, bacteria and grass?

Quite vague. Nonhuman biologics can be anything. Grass, bacteria, mold, cats...

Noneartly biologics would be more interesting.

I started by joining only one instance (vlemmy.net). When it went down, I realized I needed more, so I joined 3.

As for the communities, I subscribed to whichever clone had more traffic, among the ones I'm interested in.

I comment and post from whatever instance I'm logged on, as sometimes - especially in the recent weeks - one or two are temporarily down.

What about stupid malice, or maliciously stupid? :-)

Does a bully think being a bully hurts their image?

As an extreme narcissist, he can't fathom the idea that anything he does can hurt his image. Surrounded by devoted minions, everything he does boosts his ego. He's mauling Twitter, and thinks this projects a powerful image of himself.

I never liked this guy, I think he's an narcissistic spoiled brat, but even then I can't believe he could possibly be so stupid to think that things like throwing away the Twitter brand for "X" make sense.

Well, super bad breath is not your ordinary bad breath. It would possibly melt your lungs faster than the fire. Bacteria that can thrive in superman's body is not to be messed with.

Since he started his act about buying Twitter I saw that as a personal vendetta to harm it - the ultimate tantrum for being mocked at there and not being under his control. He said he'd buy then backed off just to hurt Twitter's value, but then when he was forced to buy it for the first offer value, he got even more butthurt.

It's pretty clear that everything he's done since is to get revenge and destroy it. It's insane that some people keep praising his decisions towards Twitter as anything but ridiculous.

He's the rich brat who doesn't get brown nosed by the waiter in front of his date, then proceed to buy the restaurant just to fire the guy.

Good point, I'll be out of my arm's reach too.

So maybe: "everyone but me has the option of not thinking like me", or "the option of not being where I am".
