$375 million in today’s dollars would cover (adjusted for inflation) the marketing and development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop

Don’t go to https://massgrave.dev/ and follow the instructions there, that would be copyright infringement and would deprive an already insanely wealthy corporation of some funds.

I completely agree with his points but enshittification is such a cringey word

As someone from the US, a hearty thank you to Europeans. Not all of these will directly benefit me, but some of it will. Also, Apple has to be so fucking mad that they can’t keep their app store monopoly, even if just in Europe.

Yep. But,

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/nvim <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim "$@"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim

(I haven’t tested this, that I use similar code for a different program)

It sure would be nice if flatpak bundled some functionality to do this for you, though.

I think its biggest weakness is also its biggest strength: isolation. Sometimes desktop integration doesn’t work quite right. For instance, the 1password browser extension can’t integrate with the desktop app when you use flatpak firefox.

I keep seeing this criticism, but flatpak provides a run command on its cli that works just fine. It is a little clunky though.

Here, I drew the word “Just” in this post

IMO the best way to ensure that traffic always goes through a VPN is to use network namespaces. The wireguard website has an article describing the process. In a nutshell, you create a dedicated namespace to put the physical interface in, create the wireguard interface in that namespace, then move the wireguard interface to the root (“normal”) namespace. That way the only way to get traffic out without the VPN is to run a program in that dedicated namespace.

Headline has real “you want to improve society yet you participate in it” vibes

Glad to hear it!

Well, that’s your problem. sub?id is what defines which uids and gids are available to a user for purposes of making user namespaces. It’s strange that those files don’t already exist; useradd should create them automatically. What distro are you using?

Regardless, you can create those files yourself. Here’s a line from subuid my machine: administrator:100000:65536. The first field is the username (you can also use a uid), the second is the starting uid for the block of uids, and the third field is the number of uids in that block. So uids from 100000-165535 (inclusive) are allocated to the user administrator.

See and for more details.

What’s in /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid?

I’m sorry, it’s just that I can’t imagine you live in the same world I do. Maybe it’s different for you, I saw you said you live in a socialist country so you may not be aware that in capitalist countries most people hate their jobs. It’s so woven into the fabric of our society I’m shocked someone wouldn’t know that. It’s the subject of jokes:

Oh, you hate your job? Why didn’t you say so? There’s a support group for that. It’s called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

Monday, the start of the work week, is generally loathed. There’s an acronym: TGIF, thank god it’s friday, the end of the workweek. Polls show 40% of people think their jobs make no meaningful contribution to society:

YouGov, a data-analytics firm, polled British people, in 2015, about whether they thought that their jobs made a meaningful contribution to the world. Thirty-seven per cent said no, and thirteen per cent were unsure—a high proportion, but one that was echoed elsewhere. (In the functional and well-adjusted Netherlands, forty per cent of respondents believed their jobs had no reason to exist.)

Anyway, I guess I’ll go back to my “religious cult,” where we separate people into good and bad categories. For instance, one way we could do that is to say that other people are in a religious cult because they separate people into good and bad categories, hence they are bad people.

I have to admit, this reply has dumbfounded me. Well done.

Yeah, what I said is an exaggeration. A tiny portion of the population will never have to do a day of work in their lives because they’re bankrolled by daddy. Other people will have free time because of the efforts of the labor movement. Some people are lucky to have jobs they like. But, unless you’re super rich, the threat is always there. Capitalists are working hard to roll back labor rights. You could lose your job. You’re always a few bad days away from needing to take a shit job so you can eat.

People in capitalist economies do not contribute out of free will. They contribute so they won’t starve.
