Yes. Flatpak, not Snap.
[addedum] it has been my daily driver since I switched away from Kubuntu a few years back for the aforementioned reason.

...because we weren't responding to you?
I'm pretty sure that sometimes it's a result of how the voter feels. Other times i'm not so convinced it's humans voting.
...especially once they're serving their* second term.
[edit] they're, their, there
The ability to rest in climate control is going to give them a~~n un~~fair advantage.
FTFY
well that article was exactly as awful as the headline sounds.
Umm what does that even mean? How can anyone feel neutral to another human being?
I just meant indifferent really.
All I am picturing is you know someone exists but any amount of pain or pleasure they feel doesn’t impact you.
There are a lot of people that currently exist and are in pain but it has little to no impact on me even though providing help would require nothing more than some more time and manpower.
Like if you could push a magic button to make them happy you wouldn’t bother since that would require effort and you are neutral.
This, I think provides for an interesting thought-experiment. Do we know how long it takes to press a button? Is the button-press speed limited by the latency of the circuitry it's connected to? Exactly how many people are currently in pain? It's obviously lots but can we come up with a relatively specific number? With what frequency does the number of suffering people change?
Then there are also some questions with more relative ethical implications that might also be: How many hours a week should a person spend pressing this button? How many people should press this button? If all previously suffering people are getting their buttons pressed then how will we know when someone is happy and flourishing? Isn't suffering an implied opposite of flourishing? What other implications of the anti-suffering button are there?
I don't know the answer to these questions, but you have certainly given me lot's to ponder.
[edit][post] On further research I guess this sounds kind of like Negative Ultilitarianism which appears to be a subset of Utilitarianism.
10k is slightly less than an increase of $5/hr in pay for a full-time hourly worker. That would likely be well over of 30% pay-bump for a person working the kind of jobs that usually keep them on those programs. -At least, it would be in my state.
On the Dollop podcast if you've ever heard of it, one of the hosts is named Gareth. Gareth points out in an episode that in American culture we only ever call "heroes" the people we deem 'expendable'. I have been unable to find a counterexample to that claim ever since I heard it.
That very much comes off sounding ableist
I remember in the late 2000's people organizing on facebook to vote Evansville 'Best City to Live In.' so there's that, but I also remember how rare it was to get quality service when eating out at restaurants there.
