False. He sees grift opportunities nobody else can.

But yeah, he's not the founder.

By far my number one reason for hating Ubuntu is that a lot of lazy software publishers think that only supporting Ubuntu is good enough to reach Linux users, even though (as this article points out) they're one of the more contrarian and overall difficult to work with distros in the ecosystem.

Its less of a problem today thanks to containers. Even when a dev doesn't publish a flatpak, you can usually run it in a podman/docker container, or in a toolbox/distrobox.

Still, it pisses me off when I see that happening (even though it's technically not Canonical's fault)

I wonder if this counts towards your rate limiting quota?

I think the real problem is that nobody cares about security because there are very little consequences for data leaks. I guess what little safeguards existed in the past have been obliterated by the sheer velocity of AI code generation.

What we need is laws to hold people criminally responsible for negligence in handling user data. It isn't unprecedented, since we already have HIPPA. A watered-down version of that for ANY business that collects personal data would fix a lot of problems.

It is an MIT-licensed open source app that...

People never learn. If this gets popular, some proprietary fork (probably owned by a US company) will win, become incompatible with the open source version, and maybe even hire the original devs and kill off the original project.

He might be wrong about many things (like a child's ability to consent), but Stallman was certainly right about software licensing.

But move fast and break things doesn’t seem to accommodate that kind of approach.

I think it's more of a "chatgpt, design my product for me" type situation.

You dont need to yse the terminal/command line for this. Just open the settings app and look for the Bluetooth section. Pairing your keyboard is pretty much the same process as on a phone ir tablet.

Btw, Bazzite has different versions. Which did you install?

You sound like you work at us-east-1

Matrix is a bit of a dumpster fire with a good idea, terrible execution. There was a blog post recently by someone pointing out all the problems, but don't have the link.

I would avoid it.

Audio on Linux, like all things, is a deep deep rabbit hole. Whatever you want to do, you can. Whether it'll be easy, or accessible through a GUI, or if you'll have to write your own scripts, who knows. Everything is on the table.

The best way to get answers is to ask directly in the community for your chosen distro. A lot of people just lazily post in generic linux/tech communities, like /r/linux on reddit, and get lazy replies from people who don't know, but feel compelled to post anyway. Don't do that.

My (expensive) Frigidaire microwave has a feature where you can 'add 5 seconds' to the timer by pressing a button on the touch screen. However, if you press it when there's less than 5 seconds left, the timer display freezes and it doesn't add any extra time. This shit infuriates me like you wouldn't believe. Either they're so lazy/incompetent that they didn't test this one edge case, or they did but didn't care enough to fix it. If I wasn't a programmer, I probably wouldn't be bothered by it, but seeing such sloppy code seriously pisses me off. A fucking unpaid intern could fix that.

My head would probably explode if someone I loved was killed by a software bug. This is why I'm terrified of people trying to shove AI into every product. 99% of these people don't know what the fuck they're doing, and even the experts who created the model they're licensing aren't able to solve critical issues like hallucination.

Another reason to use Linux is to spare yourself the Windows CMD prompt syntax
