Random-ass bedtime #drawing

Some sort of observatory-like structure on a cliff, with nearby tree

My first WTF moment with a fresh pop_os install.

Their store installs Emacs as a flatpak?

No problem I’ll just install gvim.

um.

(for the record, apt from the command line works just fine at getting the .deb file)

pop_os store installation page for gvim, “up to 569.3 MB”

@chris I can see that being annoying. I don’t really fuss with either of those & have enough system resources that I can ignore them.

Probably wouldn’t have noticed any of this except that the pop_os store installating emacs flatpak means I had no emacs in $PATH despite ready access from pop shell.

Jumpy Dog and Loud Dog apply a flexible definition of the word “walk” today.

Two small dogs lounging on the grass.

Loud Dog has competition in the neighborhood.

Yay.
