Ooooh boy, that’s a nice one, almost got me!

Wrong sub, this article is about The Onion

I’m not sure that it can be clearly delineated as a time loop or a causality loop, it’s honestly a mix of both - though you’d probably call it a causality loop, as each “instance of a person” only experiences the loop once.

Well yes, you didn’t get first ads. But what about second ads?

What about stories about time travel that ultimately form a closed loop? There’s one that has people moving forwards and backwards through time, yet forms a closed loop at the end: >!Dark!<

Absolutely, I’m still regularly shocked how normalized those words have become. They are absolutely accurate from a corporate perspective, but why are we all using those same words? They reduce any creative endeavors to the positive effect on the extraction of wealth by the rich through influencing others into buying shit they don’t need or want. “Influencer” should be a pejorative, not a job title!

You mean on Iraqi landscapes?

I swear, cats always see a third-person-view of themselves and sit/lay down in the most aesthetically pleasing way.

And that’s why you attach a squeegee, not a brush!

Man, your dad must have had you early, two children before 9…

Love how the earlier picture has her looking plump and satisfied, and now she’s parched and close to starving. Some cats just know how to communicate using their whole body!

Counts as a mini rug! Finally we know just how snug she is.

Now we only have to fit a rug in there…

Just a quick note - while this kind of comment is funny the first few times, it gets very stale after the thousands time. OP is posting images of their cat pretty often here, maybe try something less stale :)

Collecting good vibes from all directions at once!

Lovely little bug!

Well if it were closed source, it would be harder to repackage proprietary apps because you would not know how the snap “root filesystem” translates to $DISTRO root filesystem.

Only if all the other tools (like Snapcraft) were also made closed-source and obfuscated, but that’s besides the point. What if, for example, Snaps start costing money, and you can’t legally turn them into Flatpaks and distribute them? What if the only legal way to get some software for Linux will be the official Snap repository? This approach will make for a far worse user experience than simply using the already working, already open-source and non-enshittifiable alternative.

Because some apps are only packaged as snaps so if you want them to be accessible to users, you have to install snapd. Flatpak can still be the default which on non-Canonical distros already is. Which why I don’t even worry about snap becoming the standard.

And by promoting Snap to the same status as Flatpaks on other distributions, you’re opening the gates for enshittification and a worse user experience tomorrow. Again, why support it as an equal option if we all know the price?

Don’t forget that macOS literally contacts Apple server for every binary you execute. When there was an issue with those servers, only Apple software was launchable.
