Yup, M is for “mille”.

Their very existence in our capitalistic market would heavily raise my suspicions as to what they do with my traffic not to be immediately running at a loss.

I have a feeling you’re talking about the TTY. You can’t use the mouse cause there’s no graphical interface to begin with. You’re in “pure” console mode. It’s probably why fonts look weird too. It’s probably just not running at your monitor’s native resolution.

As other people said though, it’s pretty much expected. Servers are more or less expected to run “headless”. You’d typically SSH in rather than plug a monitor directly in the machine.

Limitations surrounding theming (no way to force a theme and flatpak basically just doing a best effort to use the right one, theme needs to be specifically repackaged for the platform, etc) has nothing to do with the packager and everything to do with Flatpak’s sandbox. Same for permissions: running something like an IDE or anything that integrates with other software over Flatpak is just a pain in the ass due to the sandboxed nature.

I’ve yet to have the first be as smooth an experience as just using the native package manager. Be it some app misbehaving or needing manual permissions tweaking, or a missing/inexistent GTK theme, amongst other issues.

Distrobox/containers are however pretty cool indeed. I don’t use Distrobox myself, but there are many things in my shell’s RC that’s just a wrapper alias/function around some docker image already.

I’m genuinely confused about the point you’re trying to make. Are you trying to say the maintainers of F-Droid are themselves maintaining and modifying the software that’s added to F-Droid repos? Cause I’m pretty damn sure they do not, if that’s what you’re saying.

Retail truly is hell. A previous employer chopped off our time after closing, regardless of how much time it took to close the place. In the two years and some I spent there, including 9 months full time, they must have saved hundreds of hours in unpaid wages just in the 3 stores I worked at. That was a major chain, mind you. It’s a good example of wage theft for OP, actually lol

Rest assured that when I was closing at 9PM by myself, by 9:01 I had signed off on the day’s deposit, and by 9:02 I was out of there…

GitHub is a site that hosts git repositories and provides tooling around it (Actions for automation, Pull Requests/Forks for collaboration, etc).

Git is a version tracking tool. It’s meant to track a history of changes across a set of files. That history and files and config is known as a repository. You don’t need GitHub or any of these sites to use git.

Git has a lot of really fancy and/or almost magical functionality to manipulate said history, but at the simplest level, you can manage a git repo with a handful of commands.

I never really saw no ice as a cost saving thing, just as a “my drink won’t taste like water in 5 minutes” thing.
