Christmas is religion yes, but Santa doesn't really have anything to do with religion other than being on Christmas right?

 

Since https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gdhy7u/experimental_flathub_release_of_newpipe_on_linux/ got a bit of traction yesterday, this is WhatsApp straight from Meta running on Linux desktop using android-translation-layer.

android-translation-layer (ATL) is a Wine-like approach to run Android applications on Linux. Rather than running an Android container like for example Waydroid does this instead implements the Android API. Note that right now it's very much work in progress and almost no app will work yet, but the fact that they have apps like Newpipe and WhatsApp running already is very promising!

I agree with the sunscreen, although I wouldn't use it if I wasn't planning to stay out in the sun for long, but that's about it for an average person. Your body is supposed to hydrate itself, and getting dirt and grime off is the function of a shower. I'm sure not everybody's skin hydrates itself enough so they would probably need to use a moisturizer, sure, but that doesn't mean everybody should do it all the time.

Same for acne, that's a case where it makes sense to use some products because your skin is clearly failing to maintain itself, but again that doesn't mean you should do the same thing if you don't have such issues.

You missed the word "some". The human body had millions of years to evolve to a point where companies seem to think they can replace essential functions of it? Where is the logic in that? Some people (I'll make sure to emphasize it) have skin issues yes, because nature isn't perfect. They might need some product to help out. But by far the majority will be just fine without them.

That and effective marketing campaigns, especially using influencers. It's Dutch but a local TV show recently had a good section about it, https://youtu.be/Ey8yvF6m5AU?t=1

Don't worry, they will tell me if I smell. I think it's interesting that you think you know me or my friends.

I think this is one of those cases where the burden of proof is on the person using the products, not on the one not using them. Your post is basically an advertising campaign for several of these products.

You do realize your body is supposed to maintain itself right? Of course some people will actually need some stuff because their body doesn't do it well enough, but if your body doesn't have actual problems there is no need to use any of these products.

You use too many products, no way that can be good for your skin. Even showering every day is imo unnecessary, once every other day or once a week is good enough if the only thing you did was sitting in an office all day. And if you do shower that often, most of the time you should only use water, not any other products.

I really don't understand the current trend of using an extreme amount of products on your skin, to the poiint of calling it a "routine".

Eh, I have used KeepassXC over multiple machines using NextCloud to sync it for years now and have never had any conflict.

Canonical might only care about Snaps, but like I keep saying you can just enable Flatpak and get it from there. Only if you want debs you'll have to move away.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (8 children)

But KDE never will be exculsively available as snaps. Again, you can just install Flatpak and get them from there. Or get Debian and stick to .deb, it's largely the same base as Ubuntu anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (17 children)

You can as of yet still disable Snaps entirely on *buntu and enable Flatpak instead. I doubt you'll be getting them as regular .deb packages for long still though...

Still is, it's available on FreeBSD and OpenBSD
