  • It’s Canonical’s (the company that created/updates/supports Ubuntu) package format. There are a few problems.

    They can only be hosted on proprietary Canonical servers. That sort of flies in the face of one of the “free” aspects of Linux. Canonical is also sort of fostering a reputation of abandoning/massively changing something core in Ubuntu every couple major releases, which has made some wary of depending on snaps, since if Canonical decides to stop hosting them, anyone dependent on them is kinda screwed. Snaps can also chew up disk space if you’re not careful. I don’t think that’s necessarily unique to snaps, but in my experience that issue has been worse with snaps than with comparable alternatives like flatpaks.













  • I’m genuinely not irritated, just incredibly confused. Why haven’t you listened to or left any voicemails in the years? Why do you think voicemails are unreasonable? Why don’t you see that they’re a perfectly reasonable way to communicate important things when someone doesn’t answer their phone? What rock are you living under to where you disagree that spam/scam calls are more prevalent than ever? What makes you think that if you think spam/scam calls are more prevalent, that you shouldn’t give your number to potential employers? Like how are those things related at all?

    I just have more questions with every comment man. Confusion, genuine, heartfelt confusion. Not irritation.





  • Earth’s orbital distance has pretty much always been “perfect” though. It hasn’t really changed much since it’s formation 4-5 billion years ago.

    Unless you mistyped and you’re talking about the moon’s orbital distance? In which case, it’s actually kind of the opposite of what you’re claiming. It’s estimated that life first popped up pretty close to when the planet and moon finished forming, at which point the moon’s orbital distance would have made it appear larger than the sun and probably fully obscure the sun + it’s corona during an eclipse.



  • What do you think I think you’re arguing? I’ve read your responses in our thread. It seems like your position is that one must always answer their phone, regardless of whether they recognize the number or not, if they have provided their number to a potential employer. To me that seems like a totally unreasonable position, because

    1. There are several very valid reasons for not answering your phone outside of not recognizing the number

    2. Not answering your phone for unrecognized numbers is best practice nowadays, since the amount of spam/scam calls people receive has never been higher

    3. If a caller wants a response but can’t reach a person with their initial call, leaving a message is the widely accepted next best course of action, as it clarifies to the recipient that even though the call came from an unrecognized number, it’s a legitimate call and a response is expected

    Again, I’m just baffled that you’re arguing against any of this.
