Well, one part of it is that Flatpak pulls data over the network, and sometimes data sent over a network doesn’t arrive in the exact same shape as when it left the original system, which results in that same data being sent in multiple copies - until one manages to arrive correctly.
Hence why Fedora Linux actually recently removed delta updates for DNF. Turns out it used more data in retries than just downloading a whole package again.
I think this is actually very unlikely, flatpak is most likely using some TCP based protocol and TCP would take care of this transparently, flatpak wouldn’t know if any packets had to be retransmitted.
But it’s unlikely those would look like this. Flatpak would only see packets in series, so the only effect a failure could have would be the need for resuming the download - at worst you could receive a couple of bytes again due to alignment, but not this much.
Shoddy implementation they can’t be arsed to fix. They do all kinds of shenanigans like show the size of all locales but only download one, or the other way around, it does not count dependencies and then realizes it has to download something extra etc. It’s all over the place and I’ve given up on it making any sense. I’ve just made sure it’s on a drive with plenty of space and hope for the best.
But it is fluid and changing. Do you know anyone who would know what Þæs oferéode, ðisses swá mæg or some other sentence from old english means, or someone who thinks that jail is spelt gaol?
They reject u even though you spoken truest worders good are.
Nobody who spoke English that read your sentence misunderstood what you said based and than vs then and that English doesn’t have to be pretty to get the job done
I had to read your comment at least twice before I could parse it.
So basically what you’re both saying is that you are so incredibly selfish, you don’t care if someone needs to read your comments multiple times in order to not misunderstand you, as long as it’s easier for you and you don’t have to bother learning to be understood
It’s not grammar it’s an entitlement different word. It would be like refusing to call a dog a dog because you think it sounds better to call it a cat.
Edit - you know what, I’m leaving that auto correct in. Entitlement looks better here to me than entirely.
We write our language (swiss-german) like this 😂 everything is allowed and there are strangely very little misunderstandings. Only bad thing about is, that swiping keyboard rarely work with it.
I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we’re never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.
Read/ret lead/let -> easy 😜 but how to write “do” I mean it is not a normal spoken “o” and not exactly a “u” like it is a “u” but without (yo)u Write phonetic is more easy in German, I think, or maybe only because it is my birth language 🤔
And us german-germans think you are very weird and you might as well call your spoken language something other than german, cause no one can understand it anyways. Also why are you so afraid of this: ß?
Hilarious when people want to resort to “I WASN’T WRITING FORMALLY” in these situations. Just take the L and acknowledge it was a flub. Much less cringe that way.
Lol it’s not grammar, you’ve used an entirely different word that just sounds kinda similar. You’re essentially saying the actual words used don’t matter in these two sentences because they sound similar:
Consider this: when you speak the listeners know what you mean based on the rest of the sentence. When you write you give the reader the intended word through spelling. People who read will see your words and assume you really meant “then” instead of “than”, and the sentence will make little sense.
The words “I” and “eye” sound similar, but if you write “eye” I will read a sentence first thinking you are trying to say something about an eye, then when it breaks down, go back and find the issue. End that my friend is less then eye-deal for comprehension.
The race never stopped. You buy an Apple II. It works for a while. Then everyone is running Lotus 1-2-3 so you gotta get an expensive 386. Now Windows 3.1 and 95 is the standard, and you need Internet too so you buy a modem and a Pentium machine for a couple grand. It's okay for a while. Then downloads take longer and longer, and your computer gets slower again, so you upgrade to 6mbps cable internet and an AMD athlon/Pentium 4, and Windows XP. It's okay for a while. But then games and software no longer fit on a CD ROM. They're using DVDs, and the space they take up on your HD is approaching tens of GB. Suddenly you need to upgrade to 25mbps internet and a terabyte drive to keep up with the space requirements and updates/service packs. You're on a multi core CPU now because nobody fucking optimizes shit anymore and assumes you have the horsepower to deal with it. Then they get rid of physical media altogether. Now you're stuck downloading a fucking several hundred gigabyte game or piece of software on a 100+mbps connection to do largely the same shit we did on that Apple II in 1980. Your system RAM alone can now hold all software ever made for that Apple II with plenty room to spare.
I get why a lot of retirees in the industry want to burn their computers and take up farming.
I want to do that, but not because of Flatpak. That’s incredibly far down the list of things I find offensive in my professional life. At the very least it does fulfill some sort of purpose and also doesn’t cost any money to use.
Nord Light was also pretty good when I tried it. I waffle back and forth between light and dark themes now and then and there’s always a few good options that brighten the space without flashbanging you.
Well, you’re half right. White was popularized by early home computers looking to reproduce paper digitally. Apple, Amiga, and Atari all did this and it stuck around a very long time. In fact, many environments are still in transition away from white.
Notable exceptions included professional audio and video environments who got into the dark themes early because they didn’t want glare from their workstations affecting what they saw when editing in their dark studios.
Now I’m wondering if historically people started writing on blackboards first or in paper. Etching into wood/stone doesn’t count since it lacks contrast.
If you look at the Lascaux cave paintings, there’s great potential for a soft earthy color theme imho. Black and red on off-white, similar colors as medieval vellum with black ink and vermillion red/orange.
