main selling points are isolation and having the latest version directly from developers without having to wait for your distro to package/update it.

both are debatable since they are not as good as promoted (isolation doesn't always work correctly and it's a mess to configure it once you use anything different than the more mainstream distros) or goes against the historical preference (using bundled everything instead of cooperating with your distro packages and trusting every individual over trusting your distro as a whole) but having the latest version on any distro without having to wait is a popular need so they gained traction quite fast. this might make little sense for rolling release distros (arch, nix) but it's helpful if you have a stable base (years old debian) but need the latest feature on an specific application or have to use very specific libraries that are not packaged on the main distro and would require complex upgrades

i mostly use them for proprietary stuff or for software that is incredible painful to package (mostly electron apps). i will probably never use them for anything that actually matters but i also use rolling release distros everywhere so latest release is never too far. for testing latest version of any software i prefer appimages since they are simpler and don't need a messy setup as flatpak, but i also won't use them pass the testing phase and i prefer packaging the software if possible.

snaps, on the other hand, will never go near any of my systems. not even by accident

1. the main difference between distros is the packages you can install and the default configurations you get out of the box. The main recommendation is to use a popular distro (like ubuntu, mint or pop-os) so you can get a good level of support in both documentation and forums/chatrooms. other distros range from different defaults to completely different architecture so it's recommended to look into them until you are more used to linux and you are curious of finding a better fit for your specific need

for the image editing you can try krita. it's usually considered better than gimp in many scenarios and also more user friendly.

the red ranger [...]

as a fan of toku, i really enjoy this one. jokes are very self concious and they tend to hit very good. i really wanted to like it more but sadly the story itself is very uninteresting so i'm watching it one ep per month or something (just one ep pending)

[...] twin-tail [...]

this one has been on my pending list but the synopsis made me put it away for long. reading your review it is closely to what i expected so i'm not sure if i can stomach it, but curiosity is still strong. i also tried watching nyaruko-san, because of the toku references, but i ended up droping it because it was quite boring

even with classically-written code, most of the time spend on development goes to debugging it. i cannot understand why it ever became popular to simplify the already simple part of programming and make the already hard one way harder. if you want a fully working application with little effort, there are many blueprints or frameworks that give you everything without having to trust the lie-generating machine to have something usable AND debugeable

it would probably depend on your search needs and habits. i use searx as my main search and it works good enough even if results are not great. i tried kagi for a bit and i didn't find a huge difference. it might have been a bit better with results and being able to group results is a great idea but the improvement was not sustancial enough to warrant the cost. also, having an account associated with your searches feels really problematic

the pro-worker movement has been quite vocal for a long time on many different issues but the business organizations have been pushing the narrative that more rights for worker will damage the economy, which governments have been supporting.

when amlo won, many pro-worker activists got more vocal and some were able to get closer to the government, making some good material changes (increase the minimum salary, having 12 days of vacation per year, having a fucking chair in your workplace) but amlo was very clear that 40 h/week kill not happen during his term. due to this, the movement got way more intense, even getting violent towards the government to increase the pressure.

sheimbaum said that it was confirmed to happen during her term but she has been stalling the discussion while "discussing with the corporations" since then. it looks like the pressure finally made effect.

i am not very close to these events so i might have gotten something wrong or misrepressented something but tldr this was a workers won despite the government, not thanks to it.

yugioh should receive a proper remake. i'm not sure how people would act when they find the "children card game anime" is full of psycopats but i'm very curious about the reaction

this is the next step from just reading headlines and getting everything wrong

it is like adopting linux

very funny you say this since one of the main reasons i stay on lower-end devices is that they use linux instead of android. that and that i'm not really interested into playing more modern games in a portable way (with exceptions that i can accept)

how is the remaster compared to the original? i have been wanting to play it for a while but haven't had the time. does the wiiu version sitll holds up or does the remaster made it obsolete? i prefer to play the original but if it's a way better version i could accept the new one

i remember liking season zero lots the first time i saw it. it's a more interesting take than the "everything is card games" that the later version. then i read the manga and found the series to be really bad. they tried to adapt short episodes to be way longer which made them a bit boring. also, the first episodes being full of psycopath characters that wanted to kill people for simple reasons was part of the amusement and it was toned down in the anime
