So the author had a very good idea of building the vocabulary based on statistical prevalence of the "difficult" words across various Slavic languages. Everyone has to learn *some* meanings but much less than if you're Polish learning Russian or the other way around.

@nikolal

But as I listen to it, I don't think I'm very representative as I also speak fluent Russian and understand Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian pretty well 😂 Probably this should be assessed by someone who just knows one Slavic language.

The true horror of Slavic languages is the vocabulary - words like "sklep" or "uroda" have 100% reverse meaning in Polish and Russian which is driving people crazy when trying to learn either 😂

@nikolal

Yes, this is pretty cool indeed - I understand almost all he says!

They’re fine. They caught it early enough to get treated.

Actually, people here were describing their experiences with home automation providers... and what you wrote is not only a metaphor 😂

We live in a town with just 2 builders.

You can only buy a house from one of them (Builder G and Builder A).

If you buy a house from Builder A, you won't be able to install any appliances or make any changes unless approved by A.

To get into A's approved list of products/applianced, you need to pay them a 30% commission...

This would never be accepted in the real world, but we go for it on the App stores.

Not the perfect analogy, but explains what happens with Apple and Google.

I've been building snaps for a few years now so yeah, it's work in progress in some areas (like services) but improves quickly. I like the prospect of having a small, well-audited code base which then confines apps using state of the art mitigations and standard API. It's easier to do it right in snapd rather than teach thousands of individual devs about AppArmor, seccomp etc. You're absolutely right anyone can do it, but it's hard so few do 😏

@EdwardTorvalds

Well, AppImage is an unsigned binary that you download somewhere, chmod +x and run. Which then runs a few SUID programs like fuse.

The question is where do you take the desktop applications from?

@dump_stack

Конечно же, у них есть законы по поводу сотворения закона которыми они должны следовать для избежения такого рода ошибок.

В Польше это называется Ocena Skutków Regulacjii (оценка последствий регуляции) и на бумаге очень современная, включая техники такие как cost-benefit analysis, риски и тем похоже.

Вот если бы только гос органы следовали собвственны законом мы бы жили в рае 😂

@dump_stack

Практика к сожалению глупая и очень вредная с точки зрения доверья государству. В Польше я с этим конечно тоже очень часто встречался когда разные органы в спешке выпускали какой-то не сильно обдуманный и мутно сформулированный бред. Конечно же СМИ об этим потом писали, спустя пару месяцов орган или аннулировал или изменял закон, что на самом деле только увеличивает хаос. Или ещё хуже выпускал вот такие комментари, которы с правовой точки зрения не имеют значения.
