The only thing not covered by LWT (no shade for them at all) was the reaction time required to “correct” MCAS’ error. Imagine being strapped into a seat in the cockpit, and the plane suddenly nosedived and you have under twenty seconds to correct it after not being informed it had that much control in the first place.

Enshittification issues aside, (takes mental gymnastic skills that I don’t have) that is an unforgivable mistake that should have never made it to planes.

What software is best to have in a flatpak on tumbleweed?
The title says it all. I would like to know what software you have in a flatpak. If you want to include your reasoning, go ahead.
Yo, what was your first computer? How old were you, where and how did you get it, what did you do with it, etc.
