"I will never use Flatpaks because I have to type `flatpak run com.example.Application`. It's insane Flatpak developers don't change it!"
Except you can add `/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin` to your $PATH. This way, you can type `com.example.Application` in your terminal, dmenu, everywhere. Also if you aren't using completions and insist on doing everything in the terminal, you have bigger problems.

What Not to Recommend to Flatpak Users
Whenever I browse through the web, I find many “tips and tricks” from various blog writers, YouTubers and others who recommend users to take steps that either they aren’t supposed to, or have better alternatives.TheEvilSkeleton

I don't think you should be able to claim your (macos) app is accessible with a screen reader if I have to learn app specific keyboard combos to effectively navigate to read things that a sighted mouse user would just click and scroll to find.
Tonight's frustration culprit: Discord. Which to be honest I find pretty bafflingly bad visually as well.

Opin vasta pari päivää sitten, että hunsvotti tarkoittaa koiranvittua, enkä voi olla enää ajattelematta sitä.
Tai siis, hunsvotti on lainattu saksasta koiranvittua tarkoittavasta sanasta, mutta merkitykset toki muuttuvat ajan myötä.
The anti-commercial bias in much countercultural and activist thought is self-defeating by design, and is actually a product of internalized bourgeois ideology.
Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class gave us terms like conspicuous consumption and conspicuous waste.

The doctor tells the man to bring his wife in so he can talk to her.
So the wife comes into the doctors office and the doctor asks her what's wrong and why doesn't she want to have sex with her husband anymore.
The wife tells him. "For the past 6 months, every morning I take a cab to work. I don't have any money, so the cab driver asks me. 'So are you going to pay today or what?' so I take a 'or what'. When I get to work I'm late so the boss asks me, 'So are we going to write this down in the book or what?' so I take a 'or what'. Back home again I take the cab and again I don't have any money so the cab driver asks me again, 'So are you going to pay this time or what?' so again I take a 'or what'. So you see doc when I get home I'm all tired out and I don't want it any more."
The doctor thinks for a second and then turns to the wife and says "So are we going to tell your husband or what?" 🤣

RE: mastodon.social/@Tutanota/1158…
Microsoft just turned all Office users into AI users. Lmao. It’s now called the "Microsoft 365 Copilot" app. Get ready for fee increases and having your data opted into training by default with confusing settings. Enshittification has peaked.
I cancelled my Zoom subscription today.
Not for some higher reason, but the client I used it with mostly before is switching to Google Meet (yeah…) and so I am looking into alternatives.
I’ll probably do @OpenTalkMeeting as it is hosted in Germany and has fun functionality like the talking stick and coffee breaks. Also half the price for a year.

@marcozehe Dial-in by phone is certainly listed as a feature. I’d rather have a dedicated app instead of a browser-based solution, but apparently I’m alone in that. What will be annoying is no Calendar integration (Fantastical).

Hlasovanie o dekarbonizácii a modernizácii rybnéo hospodárstva EÚ
Európsky parlament prijal uznesenie o dekarbonizácii a modernejšej podobe rybolovu v Európskej únii. Tento text reflektuje potrebu postupne znižovať emisie a zlepšiť environmentálne a sociálne fungovanie celého rybárskeho sektora v rámci Európy. Uznesenie nadväzuje na hodnotenie, ktoré pripravila Výbor pre rybolov, a spája ciele Európskeho zeleného dohovoru s realitou fungovania rybárskych flotíl a komunit závislých od rybolovu. 
Parlament pripomína, že dosiahnutie klimatickej neutrality do roku 2050 vyžaduje spravodlivý a udržateľný prechod celého rybolovného sektora, ktorý zohľadní environmentálne, sociálne aj hospodárske aspekty. Uznesenie vyzýva na vytvorenie realistického a postupného plánu pre dekarbonizáciu rybárskych plavidiel a zníženie ich uhlíkovej stopy, pričom sa berie do úvahy rozmanitosť typov lodí, operácií aj regionálnych podmienok v celej Únii. 
Text uznesenia zdôrazňuje, že prechod na ekologickejšie palivá, alternativne pohony a iné technológie si vyžaduje významné investície do výskumu, vývoja, infraštruktúry a školenia posádok, ako aj spoluprácu medzi členskými štátmi, úradmi a odborníkmi. Tieto opatrenia majú zároveň vytvoriť priestor pre inovácie a modernizáciu flotíl bez poškodzovania sociálno-ekonomickej stability rybárskych komunít, najmä malých a pobrežných operátorov, ktorí predstavujú výraznú časť európskeho rybárskeho sektora. 
Uznesenie tiež upozorňuje, že riešenie finančných a legislatívnych prekážok je kľúčové, pretože súčasné pravidlá a finančné nástroje nie vždy dostatočne podporujú modernizáciu a udržateľné praktiky. Parlament vyzýva Európsku komisiu a členské štáty, aby prehodnotili a upravili existujúce mechanizmy, vrátane fondov EÚ, tak, aby umožnili prístup k financovaniu, ktoré je primerané potrebám prechodu k nízkouhlíkovému rybolovu. 
"President Donald Trump may have made a major miscalculation about Venezuela’s oil.
Trump has expressed excitement over the prospect of US oil companies getting their hands on Venezuela’s vast oil resources.
But industry sources tell CNN that American oil executives are unlikely to dive headfirst into Venezuela for multiple reasons: The situation on the ground remains very uncertain, Venezuela’s oil industry is in shambles and Caracas has a history of seizing US oil assets.
Perhaps the biggest problem is that oil prices are too low today to justify spending the gobs of money – possibly tens of billions of dollars – that would be required to revive Venezuela’s decaying oil industry.
“The appetite for jumping into Venezuela right now is pretty low. We have no idea what the government there will look like,” one well-placed industry source told CNN on Monday. “The president’s desire is different than the industry’s. And the White House would have known that if they had communicated with the industry prior to the operation on Saturday.”"
