It's a package repository, but I would hardly call it "central"

I don't know if it's still the case, but up to a couple of years ago, Flatpak was configured so that externally mounted folders were not accessible. I discovered that when Steam on flatpak refused to install games on my hdd, and it was quite frustrating to figure out how to enable it. Still, it's difficult to criticize how "bloated" are electron apps (they are) when I need to download 2GB or runtime for an 80MB telegram binary

Snaps integration is even worse as I've seen browser extensions state they straight don't work on snap's browsers. Also desktop integration on gnone (even files drag and drop between snaps) are broken on the ubuntu installations I tried.

Appimages have the least drawbacks and are my preferred methods between the three (at least they take less storage space than an equivalent Flarpak for some reason, but are still broken sometimes), yet they still miss a central package repository, and that's a big problem.

Also each is pretty bad in terms of usability and practicality, either losing integration because "containerized" or taking GBs of space or both.

Edit: guys relax, I'm not a linux hater, I use it daily. But windows does have a unified environment, which makes deployment so much easier, while linux doesn't. And that's a problem since you either have old broken apps on distro repositories, or impractical, potebtially bloated, and even more fractionated environments like those I mentioned. They are patches and we should work towards a more standard environment, not adding more and more levels of abstraction like electron does.

Even Torvalds says it so.

But also remember to clear cookies and cache when closing the browser, so all the collecting ia useless

Yeah, but carrier locked phones are illegal in many places (and always have been), aren't they still allowed in the US?

Especially on an M1. In a different architecture you don't have Apple's translation layer, so you're stuck with ARM software only

You might not like AI for what it stands or for the negative impact it has on the world, but you can't deny that LLM like we have today are a marvel of technology, an incredibly complex technology that would have felt science fiction just a decade ago.

I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like "fat guy funny" or "gay guy effemminate" that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry's mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I'm pulling out the "kids these days card", but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don't know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I'm convinced it reduces people's happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and throw him under the bus, so someone else will take power.

That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles

We really live in crazy times

With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn't be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.
