Thanks.

LOL, just .com on the end, I wonder why my search engine just wouldn't find it.

Thanks for the info.

Personally, I've been avoiding Flatpaks anyway on my main machine, but not out of security concerns. Mainly to do with size and the update frequency.

Thanks. Several lemmings have given their opinion, and it seems the experience depends on the person.

I see now, this is linuxmemes@lemmy.world, not @lemmy.ml. My bad, comrade.

Wikipedia says they were used for training astronauts but:

  • they weren't invented for that, actually developed for people with spinal injuries
  • they depend on gravity, so can be used in training on earth, but not in space itself

Somehow I completely missed that of course Perot must have had a running mate. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I assumed it could awfully disorienting.

That looks right. Seems the original name is Aerotrim, but maybe that's trademarked so I guess other companies use names like gyroscope.
