    We’ll update the 200 mb program.

    not pictured: the other 500mb of libraries and dependencies that tag along.

      Indeed. I literally never use the word “than”. Fuck grammar, “than” looks weird.

      I never say “than”, I say “then”, therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

      Edit: I wonder what the most downvoted comment is on Lemmy World, am I making history?

        It’s not grammar it’s an entitlement different word. It would be like refusing to call a dog a dog because you think it sounds better to call it a cat.

        Edit - you know what, I’m leaving that auto correct in. Entitlement looks better here to me than entirely.

          I laterally never use the word “entirely”. Fuck grandma, “entirely” looks weird.

          I never say “entirely”, I say “entitlement”, therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

        Unforchunetly, Ingglish speling duzn’t laiyn up with saowndz wun-tuh-wun.

        Spelling things how you say them can lead to people misunderstanding or causing unintended(?) pain.

          We write our language (swiss-german) like this 😂 everything is allowed and there are strangely very little misunderstandings. Only bad thing about is, that swiping keyboard rarely work with it.

            I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we’re never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.

              Read/ret lead/let -> easy 😜 but how to write “do” I mean it is not a normal spoken “o” and not exactly a “u” like it is a “u” but without (yo)u Write phonetic is more easy in German, I think, or maybe only because it is my birth language 🤔

      Shoddy implementation they can’t be arsed to fix. They do all kinds of shenanigans like show the size of all locales but only download one, or the other way around, it does not count dependencies and then realizes it has to download something extra etc. It’s all over the place and I’ve given up on it making any sense. I’ve just made sure it’s on a drive with plenty of space and hope for the best.

      Well, one part of it is that Flatpak pulls data over the network, and sometimes data sent over a network doesn’t arrive in the exact same shape as when it left the original system, which results in that same data being sent in multiple copies - until one manages to arrive correctly.

        Hence why Fedora Linux actually recently removed delta updates for DNF. Turns out it used more data in retries than just downloading a whole package again.

            I think they have moved from trying to fix it in DNF, to using the capabilities found in BTRFS for Copy on write. Can’t quite remember exactly.
