Honestly, I just can't muster any sympathy here. A Chinese company is getting manhandled by the US government in the same way China has been treating foreign companies for years. China wouldn't let a company be in the same position if the US government literally had a position on its board of directors, but that is exactly the case with TikTok. Fair is fair.

I have only been to a stripper bar once. I thoroughly enjoyed the women's poll dancing skills. Then again, I am gay so it wasn't going to do anything sexual for me anyway.

Yeah, I was lucky enough to be in Portland already, so I was already in a decent position. From there, I needed to make housing choices that put me along bus lines and safe bike routes. That took some real planning and a price premium on our house. My takeaway was that I want everyone in the US to have this sort of transit/bike/pedestrian access, not just an upper middle class DINK couple (me).

I don't have a driver's license, but I have made lifestyle choices so I can walk, bike, and take transit to most of my destinations. There is the odd destination where I'll use ride hailing, but I avoid it.

generics are the exact same drug

Yes but. From what I've heard, sometimes when switching to a generic, there might be subtle differences in manufacturing that affect how an individual absorbs it. For something minor - an off the shelf pain killer - probably not a problem. For someone where it's imperative that they maintain a certain blood level of the drug, some caution is a good idea.

Queen of the Night, but it becomes Screamo of the Night?

Yes, but some of us aren't the everyday user.

I'm going to be honest, as long as the terminal does its job reasonably well and with good readability then I'm pretty much satisfied. It's one of those tools that I want to just work well the first time. I've become a man of simple tastes in my (not so) old age.

Usually whatever fits in best with the DE I'm using. I'm on Pop!, so that's Gnome Terminal currently. I'm excited to see when System76's Pop!_OS's COSMIC Desktop will bring with an alacritty-based terminal emulator.

Love me some fish! Though for more complex data processing, I'm working on learning nushell. Being able to work with more complex data structures is amazing.

Of course, biased in a direction that you like is the most hazardous to keeping a clear view of a situation. That's the easiest way to slip by your guard.

Right. I mean something like an embedded terminal in an IDE that has full shell access to the host environment.

I think their uses extend beyond obsolete software. In particular, trying to get updates out to a wide variety of Linux distros has generally meant a tradeoff between "move fast, break things" and "move slow, never change". Flatpak gives you a stable set of libraries to work with and the ability to run multiple versions of those libraries at once. Linux package managers have a place, but their sheer proliferation means that for most applications to reach all desktop Linux users, they have to go through something like Flatpak for distribution.

To be fair...

Interesting, thank you. I'm definitely running into trouble for things like shells, but it works okay.

Other way around, accessing command line tools. As far as I know, there is no sandbox setting to allow access to execute commands directly on the host system.

I think pyenv would be the appropriate tool for doing a native install. And of course when it comes to CLI, Flatpak isn't really for that.

The sandbox can be very cumbersome when there is not a way to break out. I'm thinking specifically of command line tools for developers. You can poke holes in the sandbox to access the filesystem, but the moment you want to run an executable it won't let you.
