  • I don’t know why people are downvoting this. Thanks for reviving a dead board. In the same way that BDSM represents at least 80% of the LGBT community (see: leather pride flag), furries and the like probably represent a similar portion. (I might be a rare exception as someone who isn’t currently a furry, but I do wear cat ears sometimes.) There are furry pride flag designs with a paw in the center, which I think look better than your design. I realize the ears and tail probably represent a broader range of diversity (like the progress pride flag vs the gay pride flag) but symbol recognition is important when so few furry-adjacent pride flags are currently flown (at least in the spaces I frequent).














  • I don’t use dependencies that don’t have a history of backwards compatibility, and when I do, I ship them. It’s SOP to assume basic things like a GUI “just work”, and it’s also SOP for Ubuntu to ship non-functional programs that were broken by GTK and Qt updates. I’d rather have buggy/broken software with undefined behavior than software that just doesn’t run.



  • Containers aren’t too bad for storage from a developer’s perspective. I’m talking about the dependency versioning bullshit of flatpak and snap specifically for end users. I don’t know if AppImage technically counts as a container, but the whole point of it is to ship libraries the end user doesn’t have, which implies a fundamental flaw in the hierarchical dependency tree or distribution model - the end user should already have everything they need to run software.
