Yeah, I really dislike snap and have puppet clean it out and add in the real mozilla repo for me. If I wanted sandboxed apps I’d probably look at flatpak but I think there’s still work to be done there also.

Yeah, I just liked that bit of the meme. In the prank the meme is based on, they really are the same.

I’m afraid that’s a CT scanner not an MRI.

Your point stands though.

Canonical added an epoch prefix to the firefox version number. Because that epoch (1) is higher than the implicit default (0), the official ubuntu dummy package is always considered to be a higher version than the official Mozilla package. apt doesn’t look at snap packages, it installs the deb, but the ubuntu deb just runs snap install firefox and basically nothing else.

w3m is a proper deb 😛

Looks like only firefox, chromium-browser and thunderbird are these dummy transitional packages. There’s a fwupd-snap, but the default fwupd is a full deb.

Yup, apt install chromium-browser calls snap install chromium. Looks like thunderbird is the same. There’s a fwupd-snap deb but fwupd seems to be the default.

Well, yes, except Canonical have made them actually do the same thing in the case of Firefox. I’m not aware of any other packages that have the deb install just run the snap install.

So both commands do the same thing… right? I’m not saying snap and apt are the same in general.

In Ubuntu they are the same. firefox version 1:1snap1-0ubuntu5 is a deb that literally runs the command snap install firefox in the preinst script. Check line 77 in firefox-1snap1/debian/firefox.preinst in the source tarball: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/1:1snap1-0ubuntu5

There’s no magic there.

I think this is all coming from the flap hinges. The hotspots on the leeward part are sparks from the sides. They fall that direction since the re-entry is applying some drag.

The intentionally missing tiles were just on the engine skirt section IIRC. So this isn’t necessarily a problem with the main heat shield. The V2 flap design might mitigate it completely. We can’t really say much from just one (alleged) image.

Edit: The IFT7 stream stated SN33 has missing tiles spread over the entire heat shield this time.

Edit2: Not going to see anything from IFT7 re-entry.

It’s important for objects that can be dereferenced. Smart pointers have methods that can be accessed with dot syntax like swap(). You can still dereference through a smart pointer using arrow syntax to access methods on the referenced type since they overload the operator->() method.
