It’s pretty dumb to produce an article like this. The whole Gaza strip has been destroyed. There’s no real job left. Everybody’s just trying to survive.

No, getting drinking water and chasing whatever provisions are left is not a job.

Whatever job is left is nurse and doctor and I bet even they are not getting paid, so does it even qualify as a job?

C’mon.

Just ask the guy who made Axiom Berge, Thomas Happy. Or Stardew Valley creator, Eric Barone.

How optimistic.

Maybe don’t do a fucking Holocaust if you don’t want to be criticized for doing a Holocaust.

What’s a good alternative though? Tech giants have taken over Internet search and are pretty much all striving to be alike in generating the most revenue possible through ads and incorporating AI.

Trump would tell Netanyahu to nuke the place and he’d fucking do it. It would be a catastrophe the likes of which we haven’t seen since WWII.

As in, this provides Israel even greater latitude on their quest to start a hot war with Iran, without dramatically increasing any threat to their military bases and government buildings. Well, at least not from ballistic missiles.

That’s also a very good point. It’s like shielding a bully while they continue to bully other people. While I wouldn’t mind seeing that bully getting smacked by the other people they oppress, I also don’t want to see more people dying either. However, I know Iran has been targeting military targets and not civilian ones. So…

Anyway, this is all just fucked up and I want to see an end to this senseless violence and death, and I want to see Israel getting what they fucking deserve. That is the whole country should cease to exist in terms of land and borders and the land be returned to Palestinians after what they fucking did.

Ah ok. That makes sense then. I wasn’t informed about that system. Thank you for telling me.

Yuck… That’s fucking disgusting. I feel physically sick reading this.

They’re telling Israel to slow down with the attacks and sending weapons and soldiers at the same time.

No. Don’t do it.

As someone who just transitioned from a dual boot setup to full Linux with Kubuntu, I cannot recommend using any Ubuntu flavored distro to anyone. And that’s coming from a hardcore 20 years fan of Ubuntu’s.

Since 24.04, Canonical decided to impose the use of Snap packages for some software. Including Firefox, Thunderbird and CUPS printing system to name a few. There are no other options to install these software other than Snap packages. And using the apt-get command installs Snaps for these applications as well.

I don’t have anything against Snaps. In theory having these applications as Snaps is a good idea. But the sandboxing nature of that packaging system can lead to broken features, especially with browser extensions. Flatpak isn’t immune to this either.

Not having an alternative way to install software that is broken by the provided new packaging format, is a big problem.

The great thing about Ubuntu is that it’s in between having bleeding edge software and stability, and also having one, if not, the biggest software selection in their repos, along with tons of documentation and user provided solutions. No other distros hit that balance.

I think the closest thing you can do to using Kubuntu 24.10 would be to install Debian Testing, which is already pretty stable in comparison to other distros. Plus you get the same Debian way of doing things as Ubuntu, minus the restrictions provided by forced snap usage. Plus if you set it up right, you get a rolling release distro.

Personally I was able to work around the snap issues, but if I hit another hurdle with snaps, I think I’ll just say fuck it and install Debian Testing.

Yes, and this is especially true from people coming from outside of North America.

Oooooohhhhhhh!!!

THAT’S why so many people say that root beer tastes like toothpaste!

We’ll see. I’ve been about to work around it so far, but I might get fed up if I get into more problems and finally do it.

Right? I think that’s when the US will eventually say stop.

But who knows.

Then they’ll do Syria, then Egypt with the Muslim brotherhood, then they’ll attack Iraq, then they’ll attack Saudi Arabia, and it’ll continue on and on like this.

Step 4 is when you become the senior engineer, show up to work in sweatpants and a dirty t-shirt with Crocs, and don’t go to meetings anymore unless it’s about major architectural decisions, and they can’t fire you because you’ve become an oracle of the company software.

Yeah Snapper looks like a very powerful tool.

Here’s the equivalent instructions for Snapper in Debian.

This. ☝️

It’s best to ignore them. There’s no use getting into an argument with someone who’s disingenuous to start with.

Public libraries often have CDs tout can borrow.

I’m not defending Israel. What gave you that idea???
