So you’d need an account in all of these networks?

And how would cross-posting work?

AT does have some advantages, but I strongly prefer the whole philosophy behind AP.

And yes, bsky doesn’t really inspire me with confidence.

Neither is good

Nice

Good to see one of the two big packaging hubs do something against malware

That’s a neat project.
You can be proud of your work 😊

But I for one won’t donate to your cause, as the software seems to be closed-source, and I already have DuckDuckGo & Google for my searching needs.

I genuinely believe that the only viable niches for new search engines are environmentally-friendly (e.g. Ecosia) or open-source.

Literally no one will pay for a closed-source search engine.

But I like your tech stack, and your project’s looking good.

One more thing: You claim to be against censorship; how will you combat spam & SEO farming?

Their website is slickapp.co (without the m at the end), but their Android package name is com.slickapp.

Isn’t that a bit of an issue?
For example, when handling URLs?

Honestly, as long as you’re not going for a clickbait-like thing with lots of 😂, 😭, and 💀, when is not really justified, I don’t really see an issue.

Personally I’ll use ✨, ☺️, 🌸, and 🥺 regularly in my comments as I think they’re cute 🥺✨

How well does Ansible work when I want to change my config? Is a quick reboot sufficient!

What do you use, then?

Given the context, I’d assume either Arch or Fedora Silverblue 🤔

Thanks for the detailed response.

I’ll probably go for either a Fedora Atomic Desktop or NixOS.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Do you think the use of OCI containers/images is a mistake/bad choice from blendOS?
How is NixOS different?

How do those compare to NixOS and blendOS in your opinion in terms of usability, flexibility and stability, considering an (at least mostly) tech-literate audience?

Given I’m still on Manjaro, would you recommend I consider NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, or blendOS?

downloads a lot more than other distros on update, and uses more disk space

why is that?

it’s broken by design

what do you mean by that?

Thank you; that was very insightful 😊

Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?

Can I install .deb software too?
And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?

I think NixOS is awesome

how well is it suited as a daily driver for dev work & playing games?

Sorry for my ignorance,
but why is blendOS not a viable competitor to NixOS?

Silverblue is sure not limited to only flatpaks.

Oh 👀
I didn’t know that; I knew you could modify the underlying system, but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?

toolbox/distrobox

Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.

Also, can I “normally”/traditionally install software on NixOS, e.g. through Steam?

Oh, I didn’t notice.

Why did it show up in the hot feed?

in the interim there’s f-droid.org/en/packages/im.v… but it’s a few versions behind.

Why is the f-droid version behind?

Shouldn’t this be the other way around?

Also: the app has since been reinstated.
