If you black-out the parts of the hosts submarine it would look like MIST3K watching a comedy about money.

Bcs of anti-greed policy and those not being open source.

FOSS FTW

It just wanted to remove French, ofc I said yes!!

But also, honestly, I always “-y”.
The gamble is I’ll have to use an earlier bitchtree btrfs snapshot.

And thx for the great commentary on point 13.

Right?
People doing things like this is hella faith-in-humanity-restoring.

I miss my N900 with Debian.

Ivy is so about to get it at the Gay-fe.

Also:

No, just remove French language, all the ads are there.

Can’t modernise peak operating system

Bcs nobody is monetising it that hard from the ecosystem-monopoly pov.

And “standardised” prob isn’t the best word to use imho.

Linux offers much better backwards & current compatibility that the other two/three just do not. Saying ‘it’s not supported’ does “standardise” things much quicker.

Also there are diffident distros by different people or companies - a bit like saying how Windows & MacOS arent standardised and look/operate differently.
But you can make your own Linux distro or modify it’s kernel or window/packet/etc manager all you wish.

Also the point about how Windows and Android keeps changing stupid shit for no reason (un-standardising the UI experience though time) but an average user like my father prob didn’t even know when his Debian got upgraded (even between distros he didn’t notice that much, now I have him on a rolling distro & it’s even more seamless tho others basically do the same).

Oh, and if by ‘standardised’ you mean the look & feel … well thats for nerds and power users, people like to optimise stuff for themselves. A bit like car seats where one fixed seat won’t fit all.

Right in the monopoly back you go

This person tops desks.

(Wait, subs tops of desks within their fantastic desktop fantasy?)

Thx, I was looking for this bit of context - somehow the possibility you made it sharp “bcs it’s better” made me uneasy.
I’m glad it’s done properly.

When it starts smoking use more lube.

Welp, I’m moist.

I’ve diverged from Debian for desktop use for a few years now (no particular good reason, just for fun) but I have extended family with about the same affinity to updates as your dad.

I think automatic updates for regular end users are nice nowdays, especially if you don’t customise stuff too much (DEs, wm, things like that). And even if some issues ever occur in return you get a continuously up-to-date and safer system (imho worth it). And its not like not-updating os solves the issues, it just postpones them, potentially snowballs them (and in that case I just reinstall it).
I switched my dad to Tumbleweed like 3 years ago & set weekly automatic updates, literally no issues with it.

As for serves, Im all for automatic updates in home environment, since my kinda worst case scenario is rolling back to a previous snapshot.
Maybe I could set backup services on a separate node with delayed updates … but I need more motivation (a clusterfuck) for that.

I mean, not really but Androids are fairly safe devices.
Why I use them (not often) however is that Play Store doesn’t seem that much controlled.

Just as a PSA:
For things only on PlayStore use Aurora Store or other apk downloaders like APKMirror/APKPure.

For everything else ofc Droid-ify, Obtanium, F-Droid/G-Droid, Neo Store, Aurora Droid, etc.
