hyperbola

they have a wiki with insane nonsens about why they don’t package certain things. Example:

pam
Package has different security-issues and is not oriented on the way of technical emancipation as Hyperbola is trying to adapt lightweight implementations.

There were no flatpaks a decade ago.

downside that made me move from debian:

dist upgrades broke all the time, because I had software installed from PPAs.

My IDE can do that for me. And it was able to do that pre AI boom. Yes, the code ends up more verbose, but I just collapse it.

So from a modern dev UX perspective, this shouldn’t be a major difference.

GrapheneOS sometimes sacrifices privacy for security.

I had way more privacy related features and controls on a rooted LineageOS phone (which was obviously much less secure)

There is probably no out of the box solution, but if you want to give it a go and hack it together, this combination might work (or it might not, I don’t think anybody tried yet)

the window rules one really fucks me up.

It stopped working at the beginning of the year for me and nobody gave a shit about the bug reports.

Now I have to keep juggling windows and their sizes every day like a caveman.

Depends on the career path. Some need only the very basics - for example in frontend development, you’ll mostly use % and basic +/-.

tbh. Most of the useful programming related knowledge you’ll learn at yoyr first job, not at uni.

The curriculum sometimes will force you to learn something unrelated to your career and it has multiple purposes:

People learn the fastest in the topic where they already know a lot. And the slowest where they know very little.

Learning stuff outaide of your comfort zone literally works out your brain. You learn to learn. And your thinking becomes more flexible.

You should not become somebody who is only good at one narrow singular task and a complete idiot at anything else.

You never know if it becomes useful later in life. So I suggest still trying to do your best at any topic. And studying more for the exams where you are not as proficient.

As to which career path to go for:

Don’t be afraid to change midway, but make sure that you enjoy it. If you enjoy compsci, keep at it. (Or if you have student loan, put some more thought into the cost of switching).

Whats your website stack?

How do you host it?

Share the link to your site or an example log so that we can check out what kind of data needs storing.

There are several ways to store some data either on the users end or on the backend, with different pros and cons. But which one you should pick is highly dependent on the stack and the details of your needs.

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.

GPT4All is a nice and easy start.

Bottles is a noun and not an adjective.

Also bottles has no IT related meaning, while immutable does.

“Immutable OS” is not a product name.

An “immutable” OS becomes mutable whenever a user wants to change anything on it.

Now imagine I keep describing my car as undrivable, because it only becomes drivable when somebody gets in and drives it. - You’d think that this is a completely deranged statement.

The main difference to your examples is that an “immutable OS” is in fact mutable, while none of your examples describe themselves with an adjective that is contradicting with their function/inner workings.

Flatpak is a pretty good name, because it makes software flat in the sense that it avoids having a (tall) dependency tree.

I print from my phone just fine

Ah yes, the immutable OS, except for all of the various mutable parts.

We should totally not call it anything less confusing.
