It’s main purpose is to demonstrate how Linux could function with a less unix-like file structure, in an effort to make it more intuitive to use, and to make it possible to have multiple versions of a library/package without conflict.

I personally really love what they attempted, but it’s unfortunately not been adopted anywhere else, making it unpractical to use as a daily driver.

But it serves as a very successful experiment that hopefully someday inspires change or a new way of thinking about the Linux file structure for other distros.

There’s very good reasons that app developers focus on flatpaks, which mostly revolves around how incredibly terrible the experience is creating native packages for each distro and each release version of those various distros.

Flatpak used to be problematic, but even a loud hater of Flatpak, Richard Brown of openSUSE, now lauds Flatpak as an excellent solution after his criticisms were addressed.

You could have the accelerator pedal physically move a variac (variable auto transformer) to directly control the voltage going to the motor.

Alternatively, there is likely a way to directly set the PWM using an analog sensor, instead of interpreting the throttle sensor output through a more complex software stack that could introduce potential errors.

Glad to hear they’re improving the 2FA! I did forget about their office suite and file storage ability, which does set them apart from all except Proton.

Lubuntu now ships with LXQt.

Lubuntu would be fine, though personally I’d suggest the lightweight Linux Mint versions, such as Linux Mint XFCE.

Tuta does not allow you to use third party email clients like Thunderbird.

Offering a free tier lets people try the service, and encourages them to become a paid user if they run up against the limits of the free tier.

From what I understand, Tuta may have a slight edge theoretically, but email itself is a pretty poor protocol when it comes to privacy.

Tuta was forced by court order to implement a message logger for an individual, but AFAIK all of their previous messages were encrypted and could not be read by Tuta, and therefore the Government could only see new unencrypted messages coming in before they were encrypted.

Disroot only recently implemented at-rest encryption, so that should be fairly solid now. Posteo also allows you to encrypt your inbox and calendar at rest.

Even with that, consider all private email providers as mostly just to avoid surveillance capitalism (to prevent your data from being mined and sold), but with only marginal protection from state agents.

Tuta and Posteo are both pretty excellent (posteo is cheaper, but has a few less options that might be a deal breaker if you need them, like custom domain support).

Disroot is a good free option, and they offer custom domains after a one time donation.

Mailbox is okay, though they are known to have a very odd 2fa, and will recycle your address if you ever stop paying, allowing others to claim it and potentially impersonate you.

Posteo is unique in that they’ll never delete your account for inactivity, or even if you stop paying, where they’ll let you access and read emails, but not let you send them until you pay again.

Edit: apparently Tuta is going downhill according to others here, which is unfortunate :(

There’s some good channels on TILVids and Kolektiva.media, and if you’re looking for something specific, Sepiasearch is able to search across all peertube instances.

Consolidation sometimes happens, but sometimes doesn’t for certain reasons, such as a community being abandoned, or different visions for a similar topic.

Personally I would recommend picking the most popular community or the one that seems to appeal to you the most, and only posting in that one, while staying subscribed to the others (if they are active) to keep abreast of that content and be able to participate in the comments if you desire.

Flatpak shares libraries, so there are no duplicates of the same version, though there may be duplicates of other versions, as that would ensure compatibility with the specific app.

App image does not share libraries between apps, so it would potentially have more duplicates.

They were likely posting about the BuyFromEU Lemmy community.

[email protected] has been seeing very steady growth, having nearly reached 400 subs!

[email protected] has also seen steady growth and quite active community participation. Overall the move to .cafe has worked out wonderfully, and it’s proven itself to be a reliable instance :)

Even if everyone agreed on Apt as the standard package format, wouldn’t you still need to create multiple packages for the various different versions of libraries each distro will still have depending on their release cycle? As far as I know, it can be done theoretically, but since libraries can often break ABI, it’s safer to bundle all dependencies, but then you’re not far off from an appimage in practice.

Also, what are your thoughts on Richard Brown’s (of opensuse) talk on Flatpak, who was a prominent hater of containerized apps.

Another plus in favor of posteo is they will never delete or block access to your account even if you stop paying (you just won’t be able yo send emails).

That’s a very unique trait amongst the privacy focused providers. In comparison, mailbox.org will recycle email addresses after a certain amount of time of not paying, potentially allowing someone to impersonate you by claiming your old address.

Looking at the ingredients list for the burger and chicken nuggets, there’s nothing jumping out at me as particularly unhealthy. Perhaps the sunflower oil isn’t ideal for pan frying, as it’s not a particularly stable oil at high temps unless it’s the high-oleic varity, but the coconut oil will hold up fine. Considering red meat has some fairly solid evidence now of increasing cancer risk, I suspect an impossible burger is potentially healthier than a real one.

Beyond meat (the competitor to impossible) used to use some nasty oils that would oxidize during cooking and become quite unhealthy, but they recently reformulated using avacado oil, so they’re pretty solid now too, health wise. I think they have a slightly off flavor compared to impossible though.
