  • As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

    Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

    The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.


    It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

    Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.



  • I was raised by my grandparents.

    My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

    Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

    To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.


  • That’s too broad a claim for me to agree.

    In this specific event, adjusting for inflation on older movies might show that there was precedent where a movie directed by a single woman was more successful than this one.

    If that happen, that achievement should also be celebrated. If that didn’t happen, this movie should be even more celebrated.

    Asking for more data isn’t the same thing as attacking a claim.

    Maybe I’m just naive, but I like to assume good intentions.

    If someone actually say something sexist, calling them out is important. But I don’t think assuming sexism first is a good thing either.
