I'm not too familiar with whatever Android is doing with apks these days tbh. I just don't like how AppImages fails at the one thing it should do (universality) and doesn't have the repo model built in. You can have third party solutions to that but it's just not the same experience.

Why not containerise everything? You need libreoffice? No problem, here is a docker or podman container.

I've heard people suggest such a solution. Everything is a container and stuff is just exported out so that it shows up to the system like a normal program. Can't really say I'm the right person to judge the pros and cons.

There is always another pack installed, freecode, gtk, qt whatever. Even if the system has already the correct gtk version, nope, the dev decided to use the gtk image from Ubuntu.

It can be both good and bad and sometimes it's necessary. The whole system relies on being able to use different versions of libraries. But having them as separate packs can help in that programs can share those packs so as a dev you can just target one common base and have your stuff work everywhere. And sharing those runtimes has the benefit of someone else keeping it up to date while you can just test if the updated version works for you and switch to that if it does and so on. And with deduplication, runtimes and stuff share the parts that are common to both afaik.

It's a bit more complicated than just shoving everything in but also it's less work than same thing having to be packaged separately for every distro.

Yes, the actual news is the opposite of what the title made me think

Better cli experience and the permission prompts are two that come to mind.

I've had bad experiences with AppImages. For universal format they do a really poor job at that. And it's a huge step back into Windows direction that you'll have to manually download, update etc your shit. Makes managing a bunch of apps a pain.

The old school vibe is a feature in Uplink. It's some proper hack the planet shit

I just read because I enjoy it. Around 20-30 per year. This year it's looking out to be around 25. I wouldn't read if I didn't like doing it. I don't think it makes much sense to force yourself into it. Sometimes I read historical stuff but usually it's fiction of some sort. Historical fiction, fantasy, scifi. I'm a student so I suppose that helps.

What helped me read more was getting an e-reader. It's just so much more pleasant than regular books and the selection is much larger.

Blind OP is going to feel so discouraged by this

It's amazing how shit Baloo actually is

now it's all leaning over!

I think that's rather sweet

Could've added /h then

It's still accepted there by the userbase, but enshittification has hit 4chan too.
