That is technically true, but
Install GNOME Software Flatpak plugin
The GNOME Software plugin makes it possible to install apps without needing the command line. To install, run:
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
I hope you can see the problem with that.
It did read that page, it just didn’t register because it’s more command line stuff.
That’s a good idea! but it doesn’t work for me.
This is one of those intentionally misinterpreting posts that I really really… “dislike” in the linux community.
I guess you’ll need to install gnome-software or Bazaar
…which the official instructions don’t mention, so it’s not a valid answer. Again, I can get it to work, but that’s not the topic of this thread.
All the “software stores” I have seen: ubuntu’s software center, flatpack are utter trash. Offensively bad. I’m not sure how you can even get the flatpack store without the terminal.
so, e.g. flatpak tells you to install flatpak via commandline on ubuntu. Apparently it’s built into linux mint.

but when trying to install a random app,
https://flathub.org/en/apps/app.curocalc.calculator/install
the instructions are to “download file and execute”, but my filebrowser doesn’t have a “execute this file” option in my right click and double clicking does… nothing? Certainly doesn’t give me a popup with either confirmation or error message.
I’m game to try a few more things, so if you have suggestions what I should try, please tell me.
I’m on xubuntu.
What should we do?
There is no “we” and you can start a fork/rewrite if you want to, good luck!
I came ready to hate with bias because I often don’t like wrappers, but at least the .format seems like an objective improvement.
But I never understood why matplotlib insists on ax, fig and that’s still in there…
Directly working with matplotlib classes tends to be more clear and concise than pyplot, makes things easier when working with multiple figures and axes, and is certainly more “pythonic”.
I disagree.
Looks like a solid project overall! Thanks for your effort!
Sure, why not.
What would it look like? Same as the others, text field for description, pictures, interests.
If it’s foss, I would want to see a https://reproducible-builds.org/ or some other method of verifying the accuracy of the process. Getting no matches would be better than the fake stuff the others do.
I don’t really get it,
Sticking with the snail mail analogy, what happens when two pen pals keep sending mail to each other from their homes without including return addresses in their envelopes? The postal service might not know who exactly is sending each piece of mail but, over time, they would know that Address A in Lower Manhattan, New York, keeps on getting one-way mail from the post office in 3630 East Tremont Avenue, the Bronx, New York; and Address B in the Bronx keeps on getting one-way mail from the post office in 350 Canal Street, Lower Manhattan.
I mean, no, all they know is that they ALL users get one way mail all the time?
The “over time” in “but, over time, they would know that…” does a lot of heavy lifting. Would they? How would they know that?
Sure, if there were only two participants in the system, I would agree. But we have way more than 2 users on signal.
obsidian seems to have a maps plugin
It’s fascinating to think how small the niche I’m in actually is.
Of course. You can even use the syntax.
My opinion is that most educational stuff treats kids super super carefully. If you’re a parent or doing 1:1 teaching, you very precisely target which things to do and how to teach them. Like, “don’t go into the deep end of the pool” is for when there isn’t someone paying attention and watching. But you are. You can step in and help. Go have fun in the deep end.
The bigger problem I see, is that for learning to happen, there needs to be genuine interest and a genuinely good project for the kid to do and chances are they can’t do that, because they don’t have any problems that need solving.
You can bridge that by making something up or buying a kit, but ultimately, learning to code is about empowerment to solve your own problems.
You know [Burger chain]? Self hosting is making your own burger. Kinda similar ingredients, kinda looking product overall, it’s still a burger.
But you’re in control.
My problem wtih the existing linux phones is that they are usually clearly labled as “experimental beta device + OS, only recommended for experienced users” and for linux, that’s scary to me. I’ve been using it for over 10 years, but as a user, you know?
The big problem with this is that I don’t like android.
It works relatively well, it’s support is ok, it’s probably better than apple because their garden walls are higher. But it’s not at all the operating system I would like to have. It’s already too restrictive, I have not seen/found good app building docs that make it actually easy and convenient to create “apps” and that massively rubs me the wrong way.
With that move, google is enshittfying android, but that doesn’t mean we have to resist the enshittification and keep android, we can also let them do it and move to something else. In theory, anyway.
So I’d like to see more calls for different OS, forks or stuff like
I’m more on mastodon and their filter system is so nice
I made a filter for “idiot did a thing” and every time the news has another article about how some idiot whose name is on my list did something again, as they do, because that’s all they’ve been doing for 20 years, I no longer have to read it.
But I still get the little “something was blocked, click here to read it” thing, so it’s very satisfying.
I don’t block often, but I would expect it’s a similar upgrade.
To people like this, the number in their bank account is like a scoreboard.
It’s not just that.
Besides the humanitarian work that the gates foundation does do “voluntarily”, money is agency, it is power.
There is very little argument and reason to believe that “people” and “countries” would actually be more responsible in spending it.
If there was a big, motivated, carefully planned social movement that had a solid idea and spending plan, things would be different. And such a group could also force them to give up that money to spend it on these things. But such a movement doesn’t exist.
As it stands, the idea that they would voluntarily give up money is dumb. To do what? Feed the corruption and nepo network in their country, that then will benefit only the people that are just like them, but less rich? That makes no sense.
It has to come from public pressure and equal wealth taxes.
Hard to say.
Sounds like the alternatives are to suck it up, leave the country for somewhere that isn’t the case yet, stop using the internet…
There definitely is a line where requiring nonsense is more effort than it is worth. That line has already definitely been crossed by “news media”. The quality of articles and interviews is so abysmal, that any hear say you get over three rebounds over social media is still somehow equal to the original bad source.
Social media is on the edge. I don’t expect to have a serious discussion on facebook or twitter, that’s why I don’t go there. If it’s easier to hang out in a bar near a library to hope someone worth talking to walks in or something like that. That will be the thing to do.
And also, that line will probably just never be actually crossed for internet platforms like amazon or alibaba. Shipping and ordering things online is absurdly convenient compared to go to physical locations and them needing to have the thing stocked, etc…
Most of (open source) software is already built in a way that could be taken offline completely. Internet is just a fast and easy delivery mechanism, but carrying USB sticks is extremely viable for getting code from A to B
And for entertainment, I can honestly just go back to reading books. It’s not the total information super highway, but it would be something.
assuming the handler function is encrypted to match.
Yeah, this is the thing I’m doubting / don’t understand how that would work.
E.g. A* / navigation problems.
You send private start and goal points.
Either the stuff is truly private, then the program can’t read it.
Or the program can read it, but then the owner of the machine the program runs on can just read it from memory.
It doesn’t matter if it says “45124x5234234fgasdgf” or “Paris”, because the program state will identify that. Even if you encrypt the entire location database (with stuff that’s then fully known to the server) and it will still look up “45124x5234234fgasdgf” and the server can trivially decrypt that.

Interesting, but I’m more leaning on “they have a vested interest to lie about this” rather than “surely this is correctly working tech that keeps me safe”. Like Amazons “AI supermarket” that was just a bunch of indians doing video surveillance.
And their explanation makes the same amount of sense as the blog post. I have no doubt that it can work for simple commutative math operations, over “smooth” domains. Where my doubt comes in is functions where the encryption would cause the operation to take place outside of the domain bounds.
How does an encrypted asin or acos work?
Anyway, thanks for the answer, I was recently impressed by GNU Taler, which also did something cryptographic stuff I didn’t think was possible. So I’m not saying this is heresy and can’t be done and trying to say it will work is forbidden, I just don’t think the explanations so far are detailed enough.
I don’t believe this will work? I would have to see an actually working example though. With actual data, not matrix vector multiplications those are trivial.
Doing math on garbled numbers and then reverse garbling it? Easy. Doing text parsing on garbled text? Probably impossible, but I’d loveto be proven wrong. I also think you have to reveal what kind of functions you want used?
The homomorphism in category theory is often shown by a commutative diagram, where you can go from a point to another by interchanging the order of operations. In the below diagram for FHE, you can go from (a, b) to E(a*b) in two separate ways.
Even in math this doesn’t work for all problems.
It’s important to remember that division of labor is a thing. You are an employee with a job description, hopefully, and generally, there are people who are supposed to do the work, and other people evaluate, sort, distribute the work that needs to be done. That would be “managing”.
If everything is critical all the time, every day, your manager is not doing their job.
That doesn’t mean it’s something you can fix, but it’s not your fault either. Being bad at their job isn’t a particular bad failing. It’s a major inconvenience for you, but he’s not kicking cats and dogs either. I hope.
The internet doesn’t know you. I don’t know if you’re cranky or lazy, it’s also possible that your workload is reasonable but you don’t see it that way. No way to tell.
Good managing behavior includes: praising people for good work in public and also defending the people they’re responsible for if the fault is due to process, not their personal failure.
Also, if I may, an internal PR division sounds really really useless, so I’m not surprised someone is desperate to not show any signs of failure, because that’s a position that’s just asking to be “restructured”. “Internal public relations”? What?
