Astrale.

Da Treccani (maiuscole mie): "Degli astri, relativo agli astri (il termine è usato piuttosto dagli ASTROLOGI che dagli astronomi, i quali dicono invece siderale o stellare): influsso a.; divinità astrali, il Sole, la Luna e i principali pianeti, oggetto di CULTO presso molte popolazioni antiche. Nell’OCCULTISMO: corpo a., una replica esatta del corpo fisico, costituita da materia più sottile; mondo a., la prima sfera con cui l’individuo entra in contatto dopo la morte del corpo."

In what universe has anyone ever discovered a new webpage from search results and immediately thought to themselves, "Yes, I would like to be notified of updates from this website that I haven't even had a chance to start reading"???

Can sites not spare one of their thousands of tracking cookies to make sure it's at least the second visit before throwing a full page modal sign up dialog in your face!?

Once again thinking about containers, specifically b/c I'm backing up my home dir and the snap directory is always an annoyance that needs to be excluded.

All this bloated redundancy because these programs need particular versions of particular libraries and it strikes me that this "solution" is a fundamental failure of the operating system. Yes, dependency management is not an easy problem to solve, but is it not the job of the OS to abstract away much of the complexities of interfacing with the lightning charged magic runes we etch into rock?

At the end of the day, the bundle everything and the kitchen sink approach of snap and the like seems like a lazy solution that only feeds the bandwidth and storage creep of modern applications while further walling off the innards of the applications we run on our hardware.

I offer no solution to the maintainers of Linux, other than get gud at package management and maybe I'll finally stop complaining about snap. Maybe.

Ugh, why did they have to go changing this product that I haven't touched in 15 years? Now I don't know how anything works anymore.
