Interesting idea… But oh man, that article is really poorly written!

+1! 🎶🚀

And Qobuz does as well.

And what happens with it also depends on how people, including software developers, react to it.

A reminder also to boycott, as much as possible, those thirteen major publishers – most or all of which are stealing from academia:

APRESS MEDIA, LLC; CENGAGE LEARNING, INC.; ELSEVIER INC.; HACHETTE BOOK GROUP, INC.; HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS LLC; JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC.; MCGRAW HILL LLC; BEDFORD, FREEMAN & WORTH PUBLISHING GROUP, LLC D/B/A MACMILLAN LEARNING; MACMILLAN PUBLISHING GROUP, LLC; PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.; PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE LLC; SIMON AND SCHUSTER, LLC; AND TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP LLC

Agree! that’s the next step! 😂 ⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪

How some Linux developers defeated (for now) the new OS age-verification laws. Long live those Linux developers, who “heavily criticized the mandates”, made public statements, and contacted the legislators.

Because other Linux developers, instead, immediately bent over backwards to start implementing changes towards accommodating those laws; for sure they didn’t heavily criticize the mandates, nor make public statements, nor contact the legislators.

…that the EU will impose age verification…

Translate: …that the EU oligarchs will impose age verification…

Nobody knows whether the majority of EU citizens really want something so invasive. No referendum has ever been made. A fact that flies in the face of democracy.

Funny lore! I never heard of “electric ballrooms”; what’s the concept?

You beat me in quoting this fascinating passage! :)

Great read, thanks to the poster for sharing.

Funny, seeing as EU itself is a loophole in democracy.

They also have an editorial piece on Angine de Poitrine in their magazine :)

Yes, sorry for messy up the name! For some reason I always get it wrong. The prices are great, and as you say it’s awesome to own the music you buy! :)

👊

It was exactly as you said; a difference I didn’t know about. Also confirming that Kubuntu apparently installs them system-side, even if flatpak install ... is called without sudo, again as you inferred. I don’t know how I managed to install them user-side in one laptop, but now they mirror each other :)

For others interested, these two commands show the difference, as explained by another user in a cross-post:

flatpak --user list
flatpak --system list

Thank you!

It was as you said! Thank you so much for explaining the difference and showing the commands 🙏 I wonder how I managed to install user-side on one laptop, since the standard flatpak install ... (without sudo) seems to install system-side anyway. But now I’ve managed to have an identical setup :)

It goes deeper than that, though. Why is the person talking about this with a chatbot in the first place, rather than with some professional?
