I’m willing to bet it’s pretty far off the norm, I’m sure there are people who do but even the most cleanliness obsessed person I know isn’t changing them that often.

It does come across a bit “how much could a banana cost” to anyone who’s actually doing washing in a relationship.

Did not have seal clubbing making a comeback on the bingo card.

Sorry, I meant a link to show local upload requires a jailbreak. I know Amazon -> kindle usb loading got nixed, but I’ve not seen anything that local uploading via calibre or just directly dropping a book onto the kindle via usb requires a jailbreak.

Have you got a link for local uploading requiring a jailbreak?

Guess I’m going to have to upgrade, anyone know if I’m better off with a P5 Pentium or a Cyrex 6x86?

Mostly we just want to be sure it’s dead.

Merge/test/fix on a separate branch and then merge this into main when the freeze lifts?

Never change violet 😂

Kina sound like they lost money tbh

Too lazy or didn’t want to?

I know in the UK margins tend to be high on things like glasses and lenses but they lose money on even standard eye tests (it’s worse if they pick something wrong and need to do further investigation)

I was thinking the same, I’d like more context though, if it’s a quick throttle blip (or like if they’re driving stick and need to reverse the car up a slope) could be understandable. If they’re bouncing it off the rev limiter for a minute that’s a different kettle of fish. Given the rest of the post I’m erring on the side of it being blown out of proportion.

Seems like a lifetime since he died, I hope his books are still popular in a hundred years. Gnu pterry.

Are the other half ascending?

Hide nsfw comms

This is a pet peeve of mine irl, people adding “ator” or “isation” or “ise” or similar to words to make new words we already have words for.

“We need to solutionise this problem”

No, fuck off, we already have the word “solve” we don’t need a new word, it doesn’t make you sound smarter, it makes you sound like a fucking moron who doesn’t know the word solve.

Doesn’t he go every day without shutting the fuck up?

None of which makes the distro shite. The things I remember them getting shit for are:

Unity/mir

Upstart

Snaps

Amazon ads

Advertising their premium version.

Of all of those the Amazon thing is the only one I have a strong objection to. The rest I can’t say I’ve even particularly noticed the changes if I’m honest and most other Ubuntu users probably haven’t either. They seem to get a lot of crap for “doing their own thing all the time” which seems odd coming from the Linux community.

I came to Ubuntu initially because it was the new hotness, I’ve never really had an issue with it functionally in 12 years or so, so no real need to change.

Why not deb? Why not any number of other distros? I do run deb on my NAS as it goes and I’m not trying to stan for Ubuntu (honestly) but it gets a lot of undeserved hate. It’s not a super exciting distro or anything but it tends to work fine for me.
