LOL! You caught that! I vaguely remember seeing that somewhere? Was it on the Simpsons trivia episode? 30 years later, I still remember that, but I couldn't tell you the equation to draw a line... 😅

I like package managers just fine. I don’t want to have to have a plurality of software management tools.

Same. I grumble when I have to install things through the AUR. I'd prefer if it was in the official repos.

can continue to blissfully ignore

That's what I've been doing. I haven't run into a situation where I've needed to mess with Flatpak. 🤷 Curious to hear other folk's experiences though.

Also for your consideration, Flatpak seems to be mainly used for desktop GUI apps. You'll still need your regular package manager to install CLIs. So... if you wanna keep your software management tools to a minimum...

LOL! Here. First try! 😹

At one point in my career I cared about what I did and who I worked for I felt pride over my product and my team, and all I feel now is shame to be associated with my company, I feel disgusted with myself that I work not for my customers but for shareholder value.

This tracks with my experience here as well.

keep my job and not get layed off.

For me, it seems like falling in line and kissing the ring is more important than showing ability, if you want to avoid being laid off. At a previous job, I got laid off before my very noob coworker who took months to complete PRs because I wouldn't shut my mouth about RTO.

a meritocracy

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 Never has been.

There is some degree of independence. For example, if Mozilla releases some super evil patch tomorrow, I'm pretty sure everyone would just patch it out immediately. In fact, this is what most derivatives seem to do, patch out the ad/telemetry stuff.

But yeah, these are all modified Firefox browsers. Hopefully, nobody was thinking these were unique, new, browsers.

TIL about user lingering. Interesting.

Browsers I tried yesterday (on Linux):

• Zen: neat, but the UI is too different for my taste
• Floorp: also neat, but features I don't use
• Waterfox: sweet spot for me

Librewolf and Waterfox seem pretty similar on paper. I went with Waterfox cuz idk. So far, Waterfox seems to be a drop-in replacement. I haven't noticed any problems with websites and haven't run into any bugs.

One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.

Bonus: Waterfox is available on Android! 🥳

Good job bro! 👏

but I’ve heard these days it’s not unusual to tip up to 40%!

That seems pretty unusual to me.

I normally tip 20%.

Ah, shit. Really? This is exactly my setup.

Basically, we gotta get outside and protest more.

Hm, ok. Maybe it's time to take another look.
