I grew up with shooting sports so it’s normal for me, but I understand the reticence from people who aren’t familiar. Guns are terrifying, and if you own one and stop treating it like a death stick at all times, you should consider getting rid of it.
I hate that apt installs something other than debs so much. That’s super annoying. And I agree, I don’t really care but don’t change expectations, if ubuntu thinks snap is better, then transition to snap with its own toolset, don’t bastardize the current toolset.
I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other, but I love your snap hate 🤣
Everyone remembers him for the kernel, many forget he also wrote git.
jr devs … AI slop… same code review over and over…time…slipping
They pay people to find the bugs and then ignore them!!
10 Get told to stop working on whatever I’m working on, some tech debt just became tech foreclosure.
20 Some new problem is now problem number 1
30 Get about 70% done fixing the problem (it’s functional but ugly, just need to wrap up this mess so it doesn’t become tech debt…)
40 GOTO 10
Hold my beer
I think it’s just hardware optimization. You get a ton more pain and risk replacing a drive in zfs vs raid10, but it’s more space efficient and flexible to use zfs. This is all academic, because the goal of these systems is a certain level of performance, availability, and data integrity, but not data safety. You need backups (preferably off-site and even off line) backups for that.
And people have done it for thousands of years and likely will continue to do so. Given that fact, I’d rather them do it in a sustainable way, wouldn’t you?
Normalizing doing recreational activities in the least impactful way benefits nature in the short term when people who care go out to enjoy it, but also I the long term as those people spread the new normal in the hobby. 20 years ago you’d be laughed off the beach for using a barbless hook, but i’ve witnessed seasoned fishermen in the past few years showing tourists how to cut the barbs off their hooks and release fish without harming them.
So yes, it would be better for the earth in general if humans weren’t here, but we are, and so we need to learn how to be here and lessen our impact at the same time, not by denying ourselves our humanity, but by improving what it means to be human.
This is why it’s encouraged to use barbless plain steel hooks. With no barb and steel that rusts, hooks like this will eventually fall out. Stainless, barbed hooks will kill the fish eventually, and the fish that eats it.
This is the most German possible English response.
SUSE is German Ubuntu, change my mind.
Pipewire is amazing.
MATE is a fork of gnome 2, made by people who did not like the paradigm gnome3 was heading towards. So, much like Ash’s pickachu which never evolves to Raichu, Mate remains “old”.
MATE is to GNOME as Ash’s Pickachu is to Raichu.
I’m not sure I have a point, but the analogy rings true I think.

depending on your situation.
I used to have these two cichlids in a community tank we dubbed dumb and dumber. Dumber did all the bad stuff, and dumb usually followed. Jumping out of the tank, getting suctioned to the filter intake, hitting the glass lid hard enough to knock one of them unconscious…the list is long
FINALLY, one of them managed to go full zoomies, knock an aquatic potted plant over (about a 2qt flower pot) such that it flipped upside down empty of all plants and dirt.
I discovered dumb trapped inside the upside down now empty pot, and dumber dead having been pinned at the gills by the pot. I’ve seen fish wiggle out of worse situations, that fish was just REALLY dumb. Cichlids are smart fish!
