Could give examples?

So flatpak?


Well, flatpack still doesn't address the non-gui app/utility part of the equation.


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.


Profiles and containers probably are the reasons I am still using Firefox.

Profiles are super useful and allow to separate addons, bookmarks and history for different use patterns (normal browsing, dev, NSFW).


> 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.


If core of your business is not IT you can not be fired for selecting Oracle.


Sad news. For me it was ritual on Friday mornings check trending repos for the past week. Thanks to it I found out about few nice projects.


>I tried googling more directly for global popularity/famousness, but couldn't find any hard data.

Instagram.

Arsenal (#38 from your list) has 21.9m followers and Dallas Cowboys (#1 from your list) has 3.9m followers.


WWE (professional wrestling) has 26.2m followers on Instagram.

But it's almost certainly not more popular than soccer.


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


Probably not more popular than either Dallas Cowboys or Arsenal.

At the very least WWE is not 6x as popular as the Dallas Cowboys.


Hmm, that's a good point. Interesting that the profitability and team value is so different.


> Far too expensive compared to other non-fossil alternatives.

But what are the costs of unstable supply and behavior of whole grid?


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.


What are the costs of monolithic production where taking one generator offline blacks out an entire state?


It's necessary to add that it's searching all bookmarks by title, URL and tags.

Another convinien search shortcut is ^ (for history) and % (for open tabs).


Would be good if social media stop promote some posts and order them in my feed. Make them all chronological. Too many posts? Unsubscribe.


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.
