And snap doesn't address the fact that the server components that talk to the snap 'store' software is closed-source and only available from Canonical.
Never claimed it did. Snaps are yet another half baked Canonical tech...
Those of us using immutable distros would love a "flatpack for cli utils". OS-tree layering defeats many of the points of immutability, and pet containers are a bigger pita than they should be. There has to be a better way.
> So headphones from 5 years ago are more useful than modern ones. Modern ones are so bad, if you stop a song you hear the song still playing a bit after you pressed stop.
I have similar observation. 3-5 years ago it was easier to find headphones with that support multiple codecs. Now aptx is kit always supported.
Yeah it's more popular than Arsenal Football Club ... but that's one club. There are twenty in the English Premier League. And that's a single (albeit huge) league within the English league system, which is one of about four countries in Europe alone who you could probably say the same about.
Is it more popular than Arsenal though? I think the problem here is that following a league versus following a team are different actions. I am well aware of the Dallas Cowboys and watch quite a few of their games, but I would never follow their official social media accounts, because I fucking hate them. I suppose it depends how we define popularity, but the original question was about being well-known.
Yeah this is just a discussion based on the assumption that instagram accurately reflects popularity/renown, it's entirely possible that is not actually true
Until we get to extremely high renewable penetration, that doesn't much matter. And at that point, the cost is still going to be cheaper than nuclear, most likely. You optimize with short and long term storage, demand dispatch, and transmission.
This starts to get to the issue here. FB is not a carrier (like a telephone company). Their business model isn't built around carrying information or broadcasting it.
FB is a content platform who is about making ad revenue. They are crafted around that and how to make that the most profitable possible.
