One alternative is that it only applies to companies that are listed as gatekeepers in the EU make it only hit megacorps

It’s a flatpak://url that opens the app store on the computer where you do a one click install. So technically it’s two clicks.

I think he’s referencing the flathub install button where you can just hit install.

Snap is not all bad if you’re on a Ubuntu based distro, I just don’t like the way it’s pushed and that it comes from Ubuntu mostly. Startup time is a major issue for me also, but all in all it works.

I’m still sitting on the fence, heavily prefer flatpak but when Ubuntu is going to package nvidia drivers in a snap it’s a thing I’m up for trying.

My understanding is that if I’m on Ubuntu and the snap uses the same underlying Ubuntu version as my distro it should be fast but I haven’t seen it.

Why not just, pretend it doesn’t exist?

TL;DR: Try installing some on virtual box, by all means try Linux mint cinnamon but also try Ubuntu and Fedora KDE.

Linux has some jargon and since you want to learn I’ll give you a quick rundown of how a variation of Linux is composed.

“Kernel” is what makes Linux Linux. It’s a way of interacting with the hardware.

A “distribution” or “distro” is a one of the many flavors of Linux.

They are usually “based” on a common foundation like Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Nix and whatever. These also work like an onion where Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian, all of which use some version of the Linux kernel.

A that’s just a base will just get you a terminal (also called a shell or console) and is very useful to make a server for example.

What most people think of as an OS is the user interface (i.e. clickable shit). The terminology in Linux for that is “desktop environment” (DE).

You’ll see a lot of distributions mix and watch between a base and a desktop environment such as Fedora with KDE, Ubuntu (Ubuntu with Gnome), Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Bazzite (Fedora silverblue base with either gnome, KDE or deck DE).

You mentioned Cinnamon. Cinnamon is a desktop environment for Mint so a Linux Mint Cinnamon contains the code of the following:

Linux kernel, Debian, Ubuntu and Mint as a base and Cinnamon to interact with it by using a mouse and keyboard.

There are currently three bases that are really popular right now, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch. In the DE there are currently two that are most advanced, namely KDE and Gnome but Cinnamon is not far behind.

In all honestly, none of this matters all too much, just install a couple of popular distros on a virtual machine like Virtual Bok and do a vibe check.

Take a couple of these, install some programs and fuck around with the settings for a bit, install themes and whatever or watch a quick YouTube video on it:

• Ubuntu (gets hate for being corporate but is solid, uses Gnome)
• Linux mint Cinnamon
• Fedora KDE
• EndavourOS (an arch based distro that’s supposedly easy, haven’t tried it)
• Bazzite (weird way to install programs through the package manager but hard to fuck up beyond repair)
• Something with the Xfce DE just to see the “lightweight” look.

I’ve heard that autism world view is more governed by values instead of which group you’re a part of. The question “describe yourself” was studied and autistic people respond with “conscientious, stubborn, eager to please, sharing and believe firmly in the pursuit of knowledge” while neurotypicals respond rather with “white Christian man from the Midwest” etc.

Honestly, to me it’s painfully obvious what Trumps game plan was going to be and there was an example of it before where he enacted the Muslim ban, had an anti Latino sentiment, inhumane detention camps and so on.

It seems to me that the voters didn’t feel included in the economy and they felt their way of life was slowly being removed by the Democrats so they voted for fascism. Instead of voting for the bad option they voted for worse because the bad option hadn’t been working for them so far.

US politics is a shitshow.

Soon Linux will be big enough that stores will offer a selection of operating systems. It might be possible already to ask for a custom built PC deal with a discount for no bringing your own OS or having them install it for you.

Also most Ubisoft games in the last 10 years overall

Now we just need a language with flames in the logq

Wonder what they used for the JS state since it’s dependent on the runtime.

Important note: This release can only be upgraded to if you’re on 10.7 or later. Make sure to update to 10.10 soon or the process might become more manual.

It’s the other way around. Windows will stop supporting kernel level anti-cheat because of Crowdstrike

That’s all because Wine is not an emulator

YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

If you “collect information” or get upset when someone blocks you from doing a hobby it’s likely a special interest. When I’m at a peak of special interest everything else fades and hours pass without me noticing.

It’s better for tourists and first time users that don’t know the frequency. Maintenance and accidents also could delay a tram and bus. Holiday schedule with reduced frequency is not noticeable until you check the app. You could also use it to check alternatives and whether you should maybe skip this one because it looks super full. There’s also the effect of showing the progress which makes the wait feel shorter.

It’s not strictly necessary and people can use their phone but it’s not nearly as convenient as a quick glance.

I’m a high functioning autistic 33 year old and I can share some of my own experience. The meaning of this post is not to be immediately applicable but more to widen your scope of autism as a whole. Most people are surprised when I tell them I’m autistic, but when people know what to look for they say “I have all the symptoms” which is not 100% accurate.

Most of my social skills I had to learn manually. I felt like I was falling behind socially at age 9 but somehow managed by getting one friend that was always up for playing video games. I recommend explaining in detail facial expressions early, learn how to read body language and then explain it to him.

I’m not sure where I stand on video games since it took me a long time to be able to play in moderation.

Structured activities are the best. Playing board games is really fun and easy way to engage socially with other people(monopoly is really bad, get Catan or other modern games instead). This is why individual sports are very calming such as swimming and athletics suit very well when teamwork could cause friction. Chess is also a nice sport to get into.

One thing you don’t want your child to do is to end up masking, “acting normal” takes a ton of energy where you have to be constantly alert of every minor detail in yourself and others since it’s not automatic. Focusing on other people only saves a lot of energy, focusing on a single other person is a “solvable problem”.

Another thing you should check for is whether you or your partner yourselves have autism. Contrary to popular belief you yourself are very qualified of judging yourself. Be careful though since wording of many tests is written by non-autistic people so answering “I’m not bothered by things that interrupt me from pursuing my major interests.” and thinking “Not really, I have a system for that” is not the way they intended for the question to be interpreted.

I had trouble expressing myself growing up until I gained sufficient vocabulary to be able to precisely say what I’m experiencing. Rather than make attempts I stayed silent but giving me time, paper and pen would have helped. I think this issue might stem from me saying something, it being misinterpreted, and then the conversation spinning off in a completely “chaotic” direction.

I have a friend now that’s same age that when I say something in a group nobody gets it and he “translates” for me. I suspect he’s also autistic.

Autistic people not wanting to speak is not true in most cases. Often in a group it’s just impossible to keep up. However one on one many of us can talk for hours about a specific interest.

I’ll leave it at that and with a quote from a parenting book. It was aimed at conversation between the parents but it very much applies here also. “What’s obvious to you is obvious to you.” There is an ocean of things that are obvious to non-autistic people that need explaining. My wife and I frequently have something to like “It’s in the bag.” In her mind it’s “The bag we have been using all day” in my mind it’s “The most frequent bag, the grocery bag, the bag she was using, her purse bag and the regular storage bag are all candidates”. She’s since started saying “The blue bag that’s on the counter” instead which makes everything crystal clear in seconds.

In those cases having a “Line 14 - 5m” sign is the way to go
