IIUC USB-C puts less mechanical stress on the port and more on the cable connector, so instead of the port breaking the cable should break.

Circular connectors wouldn’t be backwards-compatible either, and would be much harder to manufacture at the size of USB-C. I actually can’t think of circular connectors with more than 2 data channels that can be plugged in in any rotation - do you have an example? All the ones I can think of (PS/2, XLR) have a set orientation.

More like Notepad–, amirite

If not for cat why cat shaped?

Fuck I just got that, nice!

Pretty much no way to do so without losing most USB-C benefits.

Power only/power and data already existed with Micro USB, so that part didn’t get too much worse.

Try finger but dog.

Okay, and how does snapd being open source help with that? It literally has no effect on it.

And when your best argument is “if it gets enshittified you can switch off of it”, why help it get popular in the first place?

Little or big endian?

This might be the best meme fusion I’ve ever seen

I assume so. Just compare the amount of resources both parties are able to invest in PR - if the Romans had defeated them, you’d have heard by now.

Depends where they are.

If they replace the ears? Goofy but harmless.

If they replace the tail? Run for your life, that’s the equivalent of a full horde of monkeys on steroids.

Well, not entirely… One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.

My guy. There is no open backend for Snap. If Ubuntu enshittifies Snap, nobody can host an alternate backend for them. How does the client being open source help you?

Honestly, why enable this kind of behavior in any way? Any user is free to make an informed choice by installing it themselves.

We all know how this goes. Once a critical mass is reached, enshittification begins to milk everything dry. By making it an installer option, you’re legitimizing it and supporting a worse future for the Linux desktop.

To get to the other side!

Yeah, Flatpak is far better. The most glaring issue: Canonical hosts the only Snap backend, you can’t host it yourself. Flatpak on the other hand is fully open.

Don’t introduce proprietary crap just so companies can profit off of it.

Anything fruitfly and above would have meant I’ll just move, but yours sounds so much more horrifying. Oh god.

Luckily they are tiny tiny wasps, like specks of dust. Anything bigger and I would have run!

Getting rid of the wasps was easy, the frogs took care of them. The annoying part was getting rid of the snakes…

Nah, the wasps are tiny, I could barely see specks of dust moving around. They just died off after the larvae were gone.
