  • I remembered reading about it happening soon (?) for certain kinds of security updates (?) somewhere but it’s almost 2am here and I’m having difficulty googling a reliable and thorough source but it sounds like users will have to subscribe to Ubuntu Pro to get certain kinds of update, although it might be free under certain circumstances.

    I don’t know, Ubuntu has treated me well the last decade but I’m willing to explore other distros if it seems like it’ll be unnecessarily commericalized. Will read up more in the morning.




  • They were amazing pioneers of shitposting and circlejerking but some people considered them something of a hate group for their callouts of specific subcultures. I’m suggesting that aspect of things that OP is describing isn’t exactly new.

    But yeah, agreed, the swift, stark ban policy was very effective in creating a “civil” society there - idiots showed up to fuck around, bam hope they’ve got 10 more bucks if they want to try again under a different account.










  • I’ve never seen a Buc-ees but I have read they are really strict, like look at your phone once and you’re fired on the spot, so maybe the exchange for the higher pay is participation in a workplace culture beyond the normal levels of controlling.

    Il dunno, as someone with some convenience store work in their past I am curious if anyone has first hand experience?


  • Tangentially, as an apartment dweller I would love to have a weatherproofed shed that I could store reusable materials in and work on projects. Obviously saving cardboard and other light, flattenable materials isn’t much of a problem but there are definitely things I would keep in my shed like scrap lumber and metal and projects that would take place in my shed that I’d never attempt indoors.

    I used to rent a room from a private homeowner who was like minded and properly using the garage/shed space was so… edifying. Helped us get a lot of home repair projects done that would have required a contractor otherwise. Unfortunate that the apartment life leads to such waste and inefficency.
