They humour our statements that we want to work for their company for altruistic reason but suggest that they give us some cash anyway.
We humour their protestations that the job spec in any way resembles the actually work we are expected to traverse.
It's an ongoing dialogue of falsehood in the understanding that no-one will break the spell.
There's a certain irony in the BBC reporting sex crimes rather than hiding them.
Fedora. It just works. I use it for work and it doesn't let me down. Semi annual upgrading it is easy and it seems to be moving slowly, because gnome/LibreOffice is, to flatpaks. It's slow to change and stable because of it, they still include Grub when it became a relic since systemd included gummyboot (systemd-boot) many years ago.
Contrast that with ArchLinux which is 'cleaner' and a rolling distro which I prefer; Fedora isn't. I use it for a Rescue USB. I used to use it for work but, and this is long ago, I managed to break it quite easily by 'fixing it' too much! ArchLinux doesn't let me down but I don't have a gui or Window manager on it, console only, and I know my way around Linux reasonably well.
Debian is still confused about systemd. Run a combination of testing and unstable branches on the desktop and you've got a great system but this is before the systemd days where they moved all the systemd defaults to the old/odd places that make no sense. As you say, snap appears to be another mad experiment by Ubuntu, like mir when everyone went to wayland.
If you're going to use your PC for games, I think there may be better distros than these. I'm not a gamer so I can't advise.
I'm not a huge fan of derivative distros, like Ubuntu (based on Debian decreasingly) or so on. I'm not one to mess about with screen savers etc and aesthetics though. To me derivatives add bloat and unexpected changes.
Source distros are a rabbit hole I've been down. They were fun but I couldn't get myself to do any work when I had them.
I've never tried SUSE, it's alternative rpm style distro which can be stable as a rolling.
Distrowatch.com is always worth a visit. Find a/several forum that is your intended use and find out which district they use there; if you have issues they'll know how to fix it.
My cousin is eight. They were very confused by the reference to twenty-five. The rest of the family gave me funny looks too.
YMMV.
Update: I've realised my mistake. My cousin isn't my sibling. Actually I better check that .. brb.
Incy wincy.
Make it look like a centralised system initially. Provide a portal to a pre vetted/chosen instance that is accepting new members in their locale/country, that is the same for everyone.
Update: This (above) is badly written. I'm trying to say every potential new member gets presented with the same (pretend centralised) portal that is in fact an (valid long-lived) instance local to the individual potential for them to sign up with. So two local users in Oz get given a proxy to the instance local to them, and a user in Blighty an instance local to that person. The decentralised Lemmy looks centralised, but isn't. The proxy front end should explain that they're joining their local instance and it's like a network of little affiliated clubs that can see each others posts globally. they log in for the first time it will become clear.
It's late, I'm tired, sorry everyone. Is that any better?
I think it's confusing (the reverse of what they're used to) for a newbie who have been bought up in a centralised internet with single front ends of all the big players to be presented with little instances to join to access the whole.
He wasn't even a good PM, and now ..
I'm still pissed that they/he screwed over the Alternative Vote referendum - a path to the Proportion Representation.
Looks like we're heading to a zealous two party system, like the States to me. That's never a good idea. The two parties are both trying to claim the middle ground but both are incompetent.
In Sir Kier's defence, he's a knight of the realm and so doesn't/hasn't get/got involved in politics.
That doesn't matter to them: in a two party system, not-the-other-one is a legitimate voting basis.
Can I remind you that the US has already had a hand in replacing the leadership once and how that turned out.
My web browser then Android apps.
So that's what rimming is all about; they have anxiety. TIL.
