No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn't recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.

Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.

Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.

It's barely tolerable.

But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.

You tell me the difference when that film is continuously converted to a gas in the atmosphere. So you are saying as long as it's thin enough it's not important to worry about?

No they have not phased out bpa for all aluminum cans. As of September Germany for example is still waiting for regulations on bpa.

Also in Srptember a new company is about to replace yet another attempt at.making a clean lining for aluminum because the bpa became bps etc.

A thin plastic film... in other words a plastic bottle.

Actually a resin. Made of BPA, which is released into the atmosphere during the recycling process. Which contributes to the 1 million pounds of bpa released every year.

Basically small amounts of plastic BPA, burned into the air for each and every can.

So no cans currently do not solve the plastics problem.

Their point was that buying a can just means you are buying a plastic container anyways, that happens to be reinforced with aluminum.

It's still a plastic bottle.

I agree with this a lot. I really do not like the term "content". It is like going to a recipe for some "slop", like using a term that is just a catch all for everything tossed on a plate.

Art is great. Movies, music are also fine terms. And so is simply saying they made a video. Watering it all down to the term "content" is just so boring and mind numbing.

I have to look at this list as "in no particular order". I could move many of these up and down the list depending on the criteria.

Nice list though, and thanks for posting the list in text!

Really? Don't fuck with valve. I hate every single other launcher.

They are the ONLY game service that caters to Linux users. There are millions of Linux gamers, seems to me like the other companies are abusing their dominant position of using Windows to keep linux users out. How about that?

The real dystopia is that people are talking about fast food at all. It's garbage food. Realisticly it's always been the worst and often most expensive choice.

Four colleges simply met with their protestors, came to an agreement to not invest in companies supporting the war, and publicly call for peaceful resolution.

Why is it so damn hard for all the other ones?

What? Settings: search for search. Change default. Click find more search engines. It offers hundreds of them.

This was not hard, nor obfuscated.

I tried several models, several prompts, and the results have been surprisingly bizarre. I also was surprised there is no JR Bob Dobbs recognition. All I wanted was a classic 1950's TV salesman.

I know how to turn off the notifications, but Plex should not nag me to rate things I have watched.

I have configured buckets and synced three joplin instances. One time it lasted a month. Another lasted a day. The most common error is *Got Metadata for Path but could not fetch content. * Anyone have any tips or tricks to getting this to work? I sure like concept, the best place to sync for me. And yes I can see the markdown file in the bucket so.....

I was out of country for the past month. I have access to two monitors, and I brought a keyboard, wireless mouse, and a small JBL speaker. It has been a pretty good experience. I have edited documents, images, and created PDF's. I can connect to jobs that require windows with a web browser to Azure Virtual Desktop. I have streamed live events, worked on my home servers, and it is always snappier than a windows machine. With a click I am back in handheld gaming mode playing SNES games, or Elden Ring.
