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.

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.

I’ve definitely had some work done in the abdominal region, it’s not common or painful and does get checked annually. Thank you.

Does anyone know the name for the sensation where you stretch and suddenly your innards feel all wrong, almost like being on the verge of a cramp but not and you suspect that if you don’t return relatively quickly but gently to an unstretched position that something may go badly wrong inside?

You can even plug em into your phone and transfer from there, super handy on the go.

Maybe there won’t be a tomorrow to worry about eh.

Without giving it any specific thought, ditching over deep water assuming it has big chutes designed to slow it, you’ve now got a capsule that’ll hit the water at a reduced speed, falls vertically so an asymmetric touchdown won’t rip the aircraft apart and a built in life raft to keep the passengers safe until help arrives.

Really? They did a ton of work to make Linux accessible to the masses, have an active and helpful community to help out if you get stuck, works really well out of the box on most hardware and you’re pretty much guaranteed there’s going to be a compatible deb available for it if you’re looking for software outside normal repos. Seems like a no brainer tbh.

You’re surprised the most popular desktop distro is still around?

Not to put too fine a point on it, I think you’ll find that cunts are one of the more frequently tapped markets.

As time goes on I realise that terrorists do in fact win a lot of the time and sustained campaigns of violence do in fact achieve their goals in a lot of cases. Which is fucking depressing.
