I felt SO OLD in the cinema with my kid...

She's a terrible person, but saying she's a one-hit wonder is unfair. Here's a list of famous and acclaimed authors who only wrote one novel. And she wrote several, even if all in the same series. Criticize for for her true faults: being a hateful hag that makes the world a worse place and isn't worth the O2 she consumes.

The Roman Empire lasted for 1000 years. Ancient Egypt lasted 3100 years. Sumer lasted 4000 years. 250 years is a piss in the ocean near those.

Talking about Ansible in a "choose your first Linux distro article"? That and dismissing Mint for first timers make me not recommend this for noobs.

You should study about the trustbusting era of early 1900s. Then in the late 70s a new law reinforced antitrust legislation.

The issue is that the pendulum swings fast away from trustbusting and slowly back to it. Trustbusting creates economic development and prosperity, reducing public outcry for it, and capitalists yank the levers of government again towards monopoly building.

You mention the nineties, by even then Netscape successfully challenged Microsoft. But it was too little too late. The pendulum was already swinging back to monopoly, and it's reaching it's maximum in our days.

Snap is like Flatpak. So it will store and maintain as many versions of dependencies as your applications need. So it gives you that benefit by automating the work for you. The multiple versions still exist if your apps depend in different versions.

TBH that's the first video of his that I've ever watched. It's not too bad, but there's not much in the way of substance. Not for me. When I want to drain my brain after a hard work day, I'd rather watch some sci-fi.
