  • Hezbollah, despite being massively outgunned, is already holding back over 100,000 IDF troops at the border far too north of Gaza to be of any use against the Gaza resistance.

    They're being very effective, even without stepping foot into Israel - which is a real fear for the IDF as it's the most well armed force that's actively fighting them.

  • A more likely, but imo still not realistic, theory I've just thought of is that this was done to reduce intl intelligence services trying to snoop on Gaijin devs because they think could be classified stuff in their source code.

  • If you exclude exclusively political lemmy instances like lemmygrad, lemmy is at most slightly more politically liberal than reddit, but without astroturfing racists being able to declare what makes it to the front page.

  • Actually, warning civilians you're going to bomb their families and turn their farmland to rubble, then slowly condense the remaining population into concentration camps for decades until they can finally be wiped out under protection of the US and EU is still a genocide.

  • Yup this too. We're basically seeing a more standardized and healthy way of managing shared dependencies in Flatpak that doesn't sacrifice the developer or end-user for sake of a few megabytes.

  • Flatpak is still not able to fully replace native apps in certain situations, sure, but that wont be the case forever. If Ubuntu believes they can replace debs with Snaps I believe someone can do the same for flatpaks given enough time.

    Flatpak lets people host their own repositories, which is where I think we'll see distros becoming distinct if they DO choose to diverge from Flathub's selection, such as choosing to block non-free software. Over time, though, people generally all just add flathub if it isn't already available.

    And, again, if you need something more finegrained than flathub, there's no reason why distro maintainers can't move to a nix-based infrastructure-as-code and you'll be free to host a repo with all of your distro's software packaged as code.

    The power maintainers want over users is simply too much effort to justify as more apps begin to complain about packaging issues downstream, and apps become more complex to build. Users will inevitably bypass them. Devs will inevitably become hostile to downstream repacking.

  • Cinnamon and XFCE are outliers in that they try to be super stable, "complete" desktops, compared to GNOME and KDE that try to be bleeding edge and packed with new and changing features.

    Benefits to both, but I can respect why Cinnamon and XFCE have been slow to adopt Wayland (to a fault, many would argue)
