Agreed I practically switched from Ubuntu to Fedora only because of Snap, especially because the subtle attempt at installing snaps when you intended to install .Deb packages via apt-get

Not sure that's a good thing.

It's my own system and I'm root of it, if I want to run a program that inspects every bit of thing, including keylog myself I should be perfectly able to do it.

This kind of limitations are fake security, because Wayland is as secure as the rest of the stack it lies on top, it can't add any more security than what Linux itself can guarantee. So yes, I can still read dev input and keylog myself anyway, it's just more frustrating.

I have been using OSX since it was born because it was an amazing UNIX system and a convenient user environment. I moved back to Linux as my daily driven when they started introducing a tons of blockers to whatever I wanted to do "for security reasons". "Oh you want to debug your own software?" "Nah, I can't allow you to trace state of another process, I don't care you are root" and so on...

If I remember correctly they have a time limit within which they are forced to adhere to the EU law anyway by virtue of EU treaties, right? So it's a temporary situation and he just used it politically to look cool.

It's more complex than that. Chronologically it's true that he died after having already military lost most of Africa and Italy itself, but the part of the military had already rebelled in 1943 and Italians faithful to the king started organizing. The fact that he had lost part of the military could have surely influenced the subsequent losses. Anyway the citizens started working to undermine his power and position since early 1943.

ensure that weightlifting continues to be a platform of inclusion, respect and solidarity

I'm sorry, but there should be no respect or solidarity for someone that kills other people. And don't sell me the bullshit that a citizen is not the same thing as their government. That's irresponsible. When we Italians got fed up of Mussolini we revolted, fought and killed him. If your government goes too far it's your responsibility as a citizen to stop it (via democracy or via rebellion if there is no other way)

"usage out of all open source social media platforms"

Does that surprise you? Have you considered the different effort it takes between posting a message on Mastodon, taking a picture on Pixelfed or starting a thread on Lemmy/Piefed?

Making a video takes much more effort, sometimes hours. It's only natural that the ratio of produced contented is not comparable to other "OpenSource social media platforms"

Ubisoft has practically only produced confusing Open World games of the same IPs for the past decade. My definition of risk and innovation is slightly different 😅

And that’s just because Open World games are easy to mass produce. You just change assets and few minor things and reuse more or less the whole game
