I'm not saying it's okay for Bazzite to have shipped a broken update. That's sloppy.

But you really are being a dumbass here. The solution for your problem is a rollback. That's the whole point of atomic distros: rollback when something breaks using a single command (or just reboot and pick the grub option). Why bother with atomic if you're not going to use one of the killer features?

And in case you didn't know, Flatpaks aren't part of your OS, so you can still do flatpak update even if you don't update Bazzite. There is literally zero cost to doing a rollback, and that's by design.

I haveb't looked into this particular group, but usually it's patents. Someone owns a patent for the tech required to implement the standard, and they "license" it out to anyone who wants to implement that standard. Obviously, they won't agree to terms that hurt their ability to collect rent on their patent. Qualcomm is famously guilty of this in the modem space.

Does that seem stupid, to adopt an industry standard that requires patented technology to implement? That's because it is, and were we a sane society we would invalidate any patents that become an industry standard, but we're a bunch of idiots with a billionaire cuck fetish.

More devs need to start doing AGPL with other licenses available for a licensing fee. Or better yet, price it based on revenue with the LGPL/GPL/Apache version free for orgs under $1bn annual revenue, and everyone else has to pay up.

The OSI was a mistake. They were wrong, Stallman was right. How long until open source devs finally accept this?

I love boats. I don't own one unfortunately, but I've never had a bad time on a boat, they're awesome and fun even if you're not going out fishing.

I've never been on a super yacht before, but I imagine it'd be like a cruise ship without other guests, just your family/friends and employees. I think I'd rather take a cheap cruise tbh.

It's not that convenient. I can't even think of a situation where this would be useful for structs, only unions. And in the case of unions, you usually want to keep them as small as possible (or better yet, avoid them altogether).

But besides that, C is a language that tends to prefer minimalism. Using macros, you can accomplish a similar thing already, even if it's not as nice.

your user folder linked to one drive (so you’ll always have a backup) is also a cash-grab

That's actually illegal bundling behavior, something they wouldn't dare do if Biden was still president and Lina Khan was still head of the FTC.

I think actually that the future of Windows won't be so dire post Trump. There's no way the pro-monopoly brain rot survives this admin, and people will soon start to realize that the billionaires, although easy targets, are just a symptom of lax regulation rather than the root cause of the enshitiffication apocalypse of the mid 2020s.

Jobs? In this economy?

I predict that the "reframe vibe coding as something that sounds impressive" industry will explode in the next couple of years. All these LLM tools are dangerous sycophants, and the snake oil people will catch on and adapt to serve the market too.

Just because a product exists already doesn't mean there isn't opportunity for a competitor! You could try competing on price, maybe offer a more generous free tier which can help you get more sign ups. Maybe make it free for self-hosting, but you make money offering it as a service as most devs probably won't bother.

Sonarqube proved there's a market for this type of product already, which is the hardest part!

I really hope so

I said you won't be able to break it, but an update can. Bazzite is an open source project with limited resources, and shit happens from time to time.

However, in cases like that you can always fix it by either doing a rollback (one liner: sudo rpm-ostree rollback), or by simply choosing the previous working version in grub while the machine is booting using the arrow keys.
