Snap still has users?

Thanks! Name of the tool checks out, lol.

Btw, what was the tool again, that watches some kernel functionality to get progress for multiple such tools?

Nothing hacky. Nowadays, most distro iso are hybrid iso.

# cp /path/to/image /dev/disk

Like i use to say; dd nowadays is best used as a scalpell (to cut bit sizes) not a shovel (to move chunks of data).

Huh? Wasn’t at least cp supposed to determine optimal block size automatically?

I recommend bottle printers. Except if they don’t print every few weeks, tubes could dry up then.

E-Reader?

Tax filing and other government stuff is digital here. There’s certified services to send legally binding documents, too. Only thing lagging behind is Post with package returns.

scan and send back.

E-Mail.

Not me. If i need something printed once a year, there’s copy shops around.

Sorry to bring it to you, but printers are mostly retro technology.

More frequently it’s been used to “catch other criminals”

Germans are used to this already. It’s called “Salamitaktik” (pushed piece a piece).

You think web browsers should not exist?

Yes. Multiple historical layers, each giving the creators way too much power over presentation, while they are still supposed to handle stuff like accessibility themselves, making a company webpage a thousand manhours project. Browsers being monoliths is only one page of the book.

How do you write Google Chrome, and all of it’s dependencies, in one page of code?

So we agree that browsers are way too complex?

In my humble opinion, you shouldn’t be allowed to participate in big projects if you don’t fulfill some minimal requirements.

Reminds me of the crack i had to explain the concept of technical debt. He was the main maintainer of a years old Xamarin project, he took over from his precursor.
