Wait, there was a South American regime change in Afghanistan?

but why

seriously. now you basically don’t have access to a large number of packages. sure, waterfox is a good alternative to firefox. but say you do want to install firefox (or any other package that canonical distributes only as a snap), what do you do?

I get that it’s possible to run Kubuntu, or even stock Ubuntu, without snap. that’s the beauty of an open OS, you can do whatever you want with it. I just don’t get why you would want to run a distro that is actively pushing a standard on you that you don’t want

I think that’s what they were saying: it still uses Ubuntu repositories, which use snap. So to install, e.g. Firefox natively, you need to manually meddle with PPAs, or compile from source. The package manger, arguably the biggest strength of any Linux distro, becomes next to useless unless you want to run snaps

I, for one, staunchly oppose clubbing

That’s how you get weekly leaks

I think the problem lies with the definition of consent more than with the definition of suffering. If the alternative is something worse, then that’s not consent. That’s coercion.

Now, whether it’s still appropriate to still call it suffering when applied to someone enthusiastically consenting, I’m not sure.
