Jungkook × Harper's BAZAAR Korea × Hublot - KpopNewsHub – Latest K-Pop News, Idols & Korean Entertainment

There is a moment — quiet, almost imperceptible — that separates a global superstar from a cultural force. For Jeon Jungkook, that moment has long passed.

The Persian word 'Bazaar', which means 'Market', is a fascinating word.

It is used in more than a dozen languages across the world.

Do you know any other word like this?

If you could not find an excuse to use Bazaar instead of straight going with Flatpak in the command line, I'll just give one that is now good enough for me.

I wanted to install a given app, and just because it already showed up in the Gnome search list, I just clicked, and that brought me to Bazaar. When I clicked "Install" it gave me a pretty interesting warning to let me know that the application is high risk, and it was very specific about which security concerns there are.

I tried to install the same app using the Flatpak command line and I did NOT get the same warning.

Sold. Bazaar all the way now.
