Have you ever seen a letter or symbol somewhere that was not in copyable text and wondered how to even go about searching for what it is called? https://shapecatcher.com/ Just draw the symbol you see and it will find Unicode symbols close to it. Very useful.

There is pacman + aur and then there is flatpak.

This is sort of like asking “which fruit juice do you use, an acme apple juicer or a blamco orange juicer.” If I need a flatpak, I use flatpak. Sometimes things only have flatpaks and aren’t on the AUR.

If it’s on both, nowadays I typically prefer the non-flatpak version, but that’s just sort of vibe based, I don’t really have a good reason. I think I ran into a few (very minor) problems with flatpaks (that were probably easy to fix) that I didn’t have with the non-flatpak version and that skewed me in that direction.

The post isn’t beating the allegations. Wanting to avoid political discussions is inherently political.

Be the content you want to see.

Also, it’s odd to equate deep subject matter with a lack of politics.

I think the ZIP standard has something similar and it causes similar problems.

The problem is that getting a new standard is gonna just mean more of the same shit with like a good ten years of swapping because USB is so widely used. USB ain’t perfect, I dislike a lot of things about it, but starting from scratch isn’t gonna improve things.

If it was the sort of magical scenario where everyone swapped overnight, hell yeah.

You end with

The “fistful of different cables to keep track of” is only getting worse as we head into the USB4 era and it needs to be kicked in the head and replaced entirely.

But started with

need an entirely unrelated team to invent something entirely new to replace it

You want more cables?
