Hello there!
I’m also @savvywolf@furry.engineer , and I have a website at https://www.savagewolf.org .

I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.
Looking at the video they posted, surely the act of navigating and selecting a location via the file save portal should implicitly give permission?
Iirc, that’s something Flatpak allows.
I actually don’t know! It was a meme a while ago, but they might have fixed it by now.
Apple devices make sense - how else are you going to deal with the overheating problems?
Vote.
Google cutting off customization and generally being annoying and creepy. I know I can install some other OS on it, but at the same time I don’t want to deal with Google’s “play protect” thing.
In the “about” page linked at the bottom of the instance there is a section for “Moderated Servers” which may have a list of blocked and limited servers, along with reasoning.
People playing Rust code while they sleep so they can learn it through osmosis.
Just as a heads up: .art also blocks a lot of the pro-trans and/or furry instances as well.
I think Windows has a very poor track record for ui consistency as well. It feels like every Windows app wants to roll its own UI; Firefox, Discord, Steam etc. I know Discord and Steam also have those issues on Linux as well, but it feels like every Windows app wants to roll out it’s own window decorarions and theme.
Honestly, I’m pleased at how consistent most gtk based apps look.
If my /bin contains exe files, something has gone very wrong somewhere…
Also, all these infographics are a sad casualty of the /usr/bin merge.
I think user friendly distros (like Mint) are very user friendly if you’re just doing simple things like web browsing or using Steam. Mint (and other distros) have a realy nice software centre that can install a lot of software with a single click from https://flathub.org/ , which removes a lot of headaches that there used to be with installing software.
However, when things go wrong (which they do sometimes because computers are complicated), you may have to troubleshoot and play around with the command line.
… But that’s honestly happened a lot with Windows in my experience as well. Only with less command line and more running esoteric exes.
Honestly, given that most Linux distros are free anyway, you may as well try it out and see if everything works. Worst comes to worst, you find something doesn’t work and end up installing Windows over the top of it.
I think realistically any software you’d want to install as a flatpak would otherwise only be available as a package for a specific version of Ubuntu. Flatpak gives devs a way to package proprietary or cutting edge software in a distro-agnostic way, which is a good selling point for them. It’s also nicer than managing apt repos and ppas.
The extra space usage is annoying, but it’s not that big a deal. My mint install with a few flatpaks is still smaller than my Windows install.
I have a server that has multiple services running under multiple users that each store data. I want to be able to bundle all this data up and send it to another server for backups.
At a high level, how do I manage permissions for this? Currently I run the backup as root, then chown it to a special backups user which can log in through ssh. But this all feels clunky to me.
I’ve been using Sidebery. Decent little addon for a tab sidebar.
Was before my time, but iirc C and other (then) high level languages were supposedly able to put programmers out of jobs.
Could an ant sized lion actually hurt you? Their teeth are built to wrap around and grip thinner pieces of the body. If they are shrunk down, I don’t know how efficiently they could work their way through skin. It’d be like trying to bite a wall or something.
Anything involving safety.
As an example: Phone or laptop batteries.
If you beleive them, as far as I recall, Valve has said that they were working on the Steam Deck before the switch was revealed.
