  • Which app? Because it all depends of how much access and permissions the app needs. Managing volumes or changing devices is usually the problem. So far I’ve only had to layer two apps (on bazzite, though): veracrypt and vorta. To access old backups. Everything else works fine, even desktop integration. Although I prefer to use box buddy to handle distrobox as a UI, which runs as a flatpak without problem. It’s been great so far at resolving that kind of issues: bug, update, now it works.



  • This video is a mirror of the YT channel. It is clickbait. On YT not only it works, it is mandatory. The Linux Experiment is that kind of channel, where the host has some interesting things to say once in a while, but is a poor communicator. He still thinks he has to abuse superlatives and be radically sensationalist just to get eyes on the video and earn an audience. I have watched a couple of videos of him but it was tiring hearing him speak idiocy upfront then try to add nuance to said idiocy. It is annoying and the worst kind of content.




  • I suppose that I’m not a decent persona because fuck Ubisoft. I hope all the devs and working people in that company find better jobs, with better pay and better life-work balance, and they all have stable and successful lives. But I have absolute zero simpathy for a millionaire’s wallet. I hope the employee abusing and unethical monetization company dies a gruesome and humiliating death.

    And to come from the monetization director, the scummiest position inside. I will never tire of saying this. Companies are not people. Fuck Ubisoft, and fuck Chassard for trying to guilt trip his customers as well.




  • It’s fascinating to read it so aptly described. I thought it was obvious what the saying meant. That’s why it is usually said to express exasperation. When someone has already endured a lot of abuse, it takes only but a minor inconvenience or minimal annoyance to finally drive them beyond the treshold of tolerance.

    That’s the image, even such an insignificant weight as that of a straw is capable of breaking someone if they have been overburdened for long already.







  • Under law, there’s no such a thing as ‘war’, there are armed conflicts. It is also incorrect that armed conflicts can only happen between states, there are international, non-international conflicts and there are other situations of armed violence. And there are different level of international and human rights law that apply different depending on the type of conflict. There’s also parts of tne resolutions that state that it doesn’t matter what you call them, they’re still POW and you still have to treat them as such. The real problem is that the US hasn’t ratified any of those resolutions and conventions because they fear having any diplomatic oversight, the US has committed so many war crimes that it would take decades of research just to sort out the last half of the 20th century.

    Finally, even if international humanitarian law doesn’t apply, then international human rights law still does. But the US plays with rules based international order as their toy because they have the biggest guns and it is hard to front them. And before any of the what abouters comes here to reply, Russia and China are just as bad. No international neocolonialist empire is free of human rights violations.
