Do they start at the same time or waiting for one to finish before doing the next?

Where does Honk fit into this? https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk
Isn’t this the dilemma? Each type of fediverse project has its own focus, presenting posts in different ways. If we increase interoperability to the point where everything can be presented fully on any service, will each service be able to keep their focus? Would there be a point in having pixelfed when mastodon exists?
I had a lot of issues on silverblue using vscodium as a flatpak, I think I will try installing it in a distrobox instead.
if you program using vscodium, do you install a separate vscodium in every distrobox?
Hm, ok, so the official definition is: “It is characterized by loosely coupled systems that interoperate in a manner that is secure, resilient, manageable, sustainable, and observable.”
(Approximately 25.5 pt. Now, the closest traditionally named font size is 24pt, called “double pica”, and Pica Pica is the latin name for the magpie, who is known for stealing and hoarding shiny things. What does this mean??)
Nethack works well on Linux too.
What exactly does “cloud native” mean? I’ve used Silverblue and I get the immutability etc, but what is the definition of "cloud native?

It is sort of an anachronism. I’m not saying that we don’t need textual interfaces, but emulating a terminal from the 70’s is not the only way. Plan9 had textual interfaces without the need for an emulated terminal.
Some evenings, when a piece of code I wrote compiles on the first try and it all seems so straightforward and simple, I feel blessed by the Spirit of the Machine.
In these corporate times we can stay free, share the code, and help our neighbors. Together we can share the joyous spirit of friendship, hacking, and arguing endlessly over which distro is best. In conclusion, Linux provides us with many good things, and should be celebrated.
In Phaedrus, Socrates talks about the invention of writing:
“it will introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own. You have not discovered a potion for remembering, but for reminding; you provide your students with the appearance of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will enable them to hear many things without being properly taught, and they will imagine that they have come to know much while for the most part they will know nothing. And they will be difficult to get along with, since they will merely appear to be wise instead of really being so.”
You used Linux two years before it was released?
I’ve noticed a pattern in distrohopping among my linux using friends. Many started with ubuntu back in the day, then switched to a less preconfigured distro like arch, gentoo, etc. You learn a lot being forced to tinker and fix things. But after that, many seem to have landed on distros of the debian or fedora kind, because they want to get actual work done and you can make any distro do almost anything anyway.
I don’t know about morality, but my view is that it’s part of the deal with free software: users can do what they want with it. If you willingly make your software free, that’s what you signed up for. In return, the devs have no obligations to listen to users or do anything they don’t want. If they only want to fix bugs in the flatpak, fine, that’s their choice. It’s their software, we’re all free to work on or use it as we want.
How well do the hashtags work in practice on mastodon? Are they used as intended and actually useful?
It’s more that the position of the escape key changed. This was they layout of the keyboard vi was written on. Note the arrow keys too.
