I guess Israel's government really wants to avoid making a peace deal.


They claim that "a two-state solution would destabilize the region", but they fail to mention that they're the ones attacking every neighbor.

The only blocker for peace is Israel itself.


Public Libraries.


I don't think so.

I'm on Ubuntu and mostly use debs (apt), I'll use Snaps if that's the easiest way to get an update. I use Appimages for some ephemeral stuff or when that's the only way developers release it (some 3d printing stuff). I haven't installed Flatpaks at all because it doesn't jibe with the distro overall.


on Ubuntu you can integrate Appimages with AppImageLauncher.

Yes! It's very helpful, if you can get it on your distro.

Yep, that's one of it's best features.

Im sure ot must be in the documentation somewhere but you can also read about it here https://guides.library.unlv.edu/open-refine/undo-redo


Why?

You think scholars are mostly translating?


If only. There are far too many documents to read, transcribe and translate compared to the number of people paid to do that sort of thing!


Did it? What adoption numbers?

Number of distros? Number of applications?

Ubuntu seems to dwarf other Linux distrobutions in terms of numbers of users. Are you saying more users have Flatpak installed than have Snap installed?


The numbers of app installs for popular software available from flathub.org but sure you can use the number of supported distros as an easy base. Including Ubuntu with a few workarounds.

> Ubuntu seems to dwarf other Linux distrobutions in terms of numbers of users.

I'd ask you the same thing. Based on what figures?

> Are you saying more users have Flatpak installed than have Snap installed?

Yes until Ubuntu's Snapcraft store provide download numbers. I can almost swear they used to provide this sometime back but can't see anything like that now.


Perhaps they could settle it in a cage match, in a submarine?


I love Fdroid and the way it makes FOSS software more available.

I wish it was a bit more polished though. On my stock unrooted OnePlus6t there is no option for updating all possible apps at once.

Like if there are 3 apps to update it takes at least 6 clicks to update them.


That's being worked on actually and is already available in the F-Droid Basic Alpha: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.basic/

Do note that the new APIs from Google require apps to take "ownership" of the update process of another app so if you update from another app then F-Droid Basic Alpha loses its ability to automatically update it until you manually update is from F-Droid Basic Alpha.

As you'd guess from the name, it's still an alpha, but from my experience it works pretty well. Bug reports are helpful, of course :)


Brilliant, that's great to hear.


The Neostore app (available on F-Droid) is a slightly improved front-end to F-Droid that smooths some of those rough edges.


Droidify is my go-to F-Droid frontend and it supports one-click updating of all apps without confirmation (most of the time).


I can't see a single Note without logging in, or in my case creating an account. That's a hard limit on exploration.
