If you want something user-friendly, use Linux Mint. There's really no reason to choose Ubuntu over this.
And for any other use it's outclassed by other distros, it does not fill a niche.
And I personally think that GNOME is crap and quite hideous.
Wait and see. As much as I hate Meta, i don't think we have much to gain by being a walled garden. Maybe we have also much to lose if we federate, who knows. I would not complain much if we defederate.
If we do federate, there should be a zero-tolerance policy. If Meta tries some bullshit, or if there's the slightest doubt, we should defederate immediately.
I've seen some cafés where you can give extra money for a coffee or a snack to be given to a homeless person when they ask for it. It's pretty nice and it rounds up the bill!
I don't know who this guy was and I'm not American, but I dissaprove of people vandalizing or destroying old statues. They should be removed from public view if they're controversial, but they should be kept (if they have historical significance). Destruction of history, no matter how dark it was, is a crime in my eyes. Nobody would think about destroying concentration camps or the likes, even though they represent the most horrific part of our history. And besides, pretty much everyone born more than two centuries ago were assholes and bigots by today's standard, it's hard to judge when most of them probably did not know better.
Again, not cautioning what this dude did, probably slavery and a great deal of killing I imagine.
I really should reduce my consumption, I've always hang around people that tend to get wasted on a weekly basis.
Getting tipsy is enjoyable, but more than that is just fucking stupid. I also find it hard to talk about stuff with them, or to do meaningful activities, they just want to drink a lot and act like dumbasses in night clubs. So boring.
I should try and find new friends, but I feel like most people act like this, honestly. It's the same when I hang out with strangers.
My hard limit is 3 drinks per night now.
I worked as a software dev, I had an intern to supervise. Everything was going well until he somehow got behind my back, tried some stuff on his own, and wiped out the whole database.
Luckily we had backups, but I had to scramble to get it back and running as fast and possible, as I received dozens of calls or complaints almost instantly.
For some reason, I was not allowed to modify permissions and accounts, and both me and the intern had superadmin privileges.
Disgusting act of cowardice. Hope they get punished to the full extent of the law. They can't get life in prison as minors, can't they?
