13·2 days agoWhether factual or not, that’s still the direction Canonical is heading.
Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven’t paid for it?
Please kindly fuck off.
Wanna hear a scary command I’ve used before?
sudo aptitude reinstall '~i'Not for the faint of heart, nor meant for a fresh install, but that literally reinstalls every single registered package in Debian based distro.
Edit: If you ever dare use that command, you better make 2 pots of coffee and roll 3 joints, cuz it’ll take a good while…
I sorta had a feeling that wasn’t necessarily the best link after I posted it. Check this for more info (I’m on my phone right now…)
I feel your pain from a distance, I really do. ☹️
The best advice I have in the meantime is to prepare for a full backup of all packages and consider switching to a different Debian based distro…
Your problem is that you’re still using Ubuntu, after Canonical started injecting advertising and wants you to pay for it now.
Try a different distro, like anything besides Ubuntu…
11·9 days agoNo, eliminate the single individual that originally invented tobacco smoking. Then nobody from that point on would ever know and the problem would have never existed in the first place.
Nip the problem directly at the source ya know. Guess you’re not all that good with these sort of hypothetical time travel thoughts…
I’d add the Spanish Inquisition to that agenda. But who knows, perhaps the Holocaust might not have ever happened if the Spanish Inquisition never happened. 🤷♂️
Time travel thoughts bring up all sorts of hypotheticals…
Indeed. Even the late Stephen Hawking arranged his own experiment to prove/disprove the possibility.
Apparently it was disproven…

Hey hey, edibles are a thing. Ain’t gotta damage your lungs to get a buzz…
I’d find the first motherfucker that started smoking stuff, whether it was first tobacco or whatever, and get rid of him/her before anyone else ever learned of the practice/habit.
Would have been better health for countless people afterwards, if simply nobody ever knew…
Posting facts and relevant links about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s “Not a Flamethrower”.
Obligatory Fuck Spez
31·13 days agoSpez (or one of their admin monkeys) perma-banned me from Reddit after like 7 years, for of all stupid things, posting actual facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s “Not A Flamethrower” contraption.
Wasn’t any hate speech. Wasn’t misinformation, I even posted reference links. Wasn’t anything inappropriate or gory. Just straight up facts.
That was not all that long before Elon bought Xhitter.
Gotta love the irony huh? Fuck Spez and Musk.
I had already spent years doing occasional side work with around a dozen if not more folks originally from India. Most, except the oldest of the elders spoke good if not excellent English. But there’s pretty much always gonna be at least a subtle accent, if not a heavy accent with secondary languages.
I thought I understood the fella clearly, but it was both a combination of his accent plus the strange sentence structure context that threw me totally off.
He said he was ‘updating his tiles’, but I misunderstood his vowels, so I heard ‘updating his towels’
And why the hell would he use the word updating, he was literally having all the carpet removed in 44+ rooms and having tiles installed, not ‘updated’.
So even the context clues didn’t add up, I never guessed he was talking about the tile work he had been planning for months.
Indeed, and understandable. Modern AI does tend to do fairly well these days, but obviously no system is ever going to be perfect.
Not even our own ears are perfect. That’s why humans have the sense to ask questions sometimes, like “Hold up, I didn’t understand you, what did you just say?”
And if you check my other comments, you’ll catch an interesting story of mine over the misunderstanding of a simple spoken vowel…
Meh, true that. Hell, I dunno how to properly cross post on Lemmy, nor do I bother doing that anyways so whatever. 🤷♂️
I went into a public restroom in a gas station once that was set up with a motion sensor. But I didn’t immediately know that. It kinda freaked me out for a bit when after like 3 minutes the entire room went pitch black dark. I thought their breaker kicked off or something, while sitting on the toilet.
If it’s gonna be on a timer, it ought to be set for more like 10 minutes or something. I dunno about everyone else, but I don’t tend to do much of any significant movement when sitting on the toilet to keep the lights and fan on.
