For JavaFX I ended up putting both JDK and JavaFX in my home dir and pointed vscodium to the right paths, I could get programs to compile but for some reason it would not let me open windows from inside, complaining that DISPLAY was not set or available iirc, even though I did set the env variable inside. Either way, I’m not ready for this container work-flow. Though I suspect that I could get used to better practices. Do you install git and your editor of choice separately in all dev containers? Like, how much of the tooling should be inside or on host?

About a year ago I started experimenting with the whole container-based workflow thing. I don’t know how much time I’ve spent on setting up various programming environments, and there’s always hurdles like getting a flatpak editor have access to java and actually be able to run javafx programs. And with distroboxes, what if my code needs access to a database that is started in a docker container on the host system, do I install docker inside the distrobox? I’ve had so many configuration issues. Every time I try I come back to debian stable and it feels like home.

That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

Same, I just wanted to get out of the US market. It’s not even about how the stocks perform or about making money. Even if a good opportunity to buy presents itself in the future I will never buy US stocks as long as they are sinking deeper into fascism.

A common threat like climate change has not been very effective sadly.

3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

Yes, but it must have been like 15 years ago or something. It didn’t help that the first versions of Gnome3 were unpolished and buggy. After that I started to appreciate version stability. I do like new and improved software, but I want it in predictable ways.

I do this with my girlfriend sometimes. Not sure how it started, but once in a while now one of us says “hey, wanna touch eyes?” and then we touch eyes. It’s actually not easy, you have to find the right angles.

I don’t mind changes, but I want to be able to decide when they happen. Maybe I’m just traumatized from the last time I used a rolling release distro and suddenly Gnome 3 landed and replaced Gnome 2. I did not like that.

She has a track record of going after big tech, which can be a bit surprising as she is a republican. People were surprised that Trump chose her. That’s what the whole origin of “Proton CEO is pro-Trump” is about. Trump chose someone who isn’t a friend of big tech, and the Proton CEO posted that it was a good choice.

Honest question, do you think Gail Slater was a good or bad choice?

As a long time debian user, I have my eyes on Leap. I value stability (in the unchanging functionality sense) over latest versions.

Tumbleweed or Leap or something else?

For Sweden specifically that could be tricky at the moment with our current government.

The sentiment on r/wallstreetbets is that “we’re cooked”, but the market is still “running on hopium” that Trump will fold.

We always need more nurses in Sweden, I imagine it’s the same in other countries too.

As someone not from the US, what can we do to help?

Something similar happened in Sweden, the politicians said that the EU is forcing Sweden to store data about users. Like, “we don’t want this… but we have no choice!” And then it turned out that what they did was actually against EU laws and Sweden was fined for doing what they did and ordered to stop.

I’m the opposite, I sometimes find :w or :wq written in text files I have edited with non-vi editors.
