  • I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve said?

    I’m saying that just adding Mozilla’s PPA to your sources won’t change apt’s behavior when installing Firefox unless you tell apt to prefer the package offered by the Mozilla PPA.

    As someone who uses Kubuntu as a daily driver, I’m well aware of the snap drama and have worked around it using the method I pasted above.

    Even though it’s an underhanded move by Cannonical, I’m still glad the OS is open source since it makes the workaround so trivial.





  • A user made a community called LinuxSucks.

    Poe’s law being what it is, it can be hard to tell the difference between satire and someone actually drinking the kool-aid, but having talked to this person and been banned from his little fiefdom, he strikes me as the non-satirical kind of poster.

    Trolls revel in the attention. They want the outrage that comes from interaction, and he’s locked down his community, disallowing anyone from posting anything at all last I checked.

    He’s taken stances like “Open Source software is inherently bad for society because it takes jobs away from companies” and “the spyware companies like Microsoft build into Windows (IE Windows Recall or any other data aggregation system) are where things are going and you should be happy because you’re helping a company make money”.

    I’d personally describe him as a Temporarily Embarrassed Billionaire trying to find a cock to deepthroat so he can join their ranks.
