Kububtu was also rough around the edges even until 22.04 LTS, but 24.04 LTS finally delivered a stable, far more customizable desktop than regular Ubuntu.

I’m eager to try 26.04 LTS next year.

Let’s say it’s a double-edged sword. It brings freedom, but encourages insulation and intolerance.

This is a disadvantage of the Fediverse: the owner of the instance dictates the rules, and the moderators are as prone to power trips as they are on Reddit.

Be glad you were banned from blahaj, it’s in the top instances of intolerance to group think defiance. If you manage to get unbanned, you’ll be always at risk of another impulsive ban.

Real life is hard enough to add gratuitous drama to it.

I think you’d just make Uber Helicopter start sooner.

But real answer? Those cars would be removed promptly, unless people are ready to fight the police, the civil guard, or the army… or have a good reason to think one of those would support them.

Reddit has become a profit-driven cesspool, even more that it was before their IPO and the LLM craze.

It is still home to great communities, so don’t drink from the firehouse, google Reddit+interest and only visit those communities. Subscribe if they match what you need. Ignore the main feed, it’s a perennial garbage dump.

Okay, it’s superstition, of which religion is a variant. There’s a very thin line between having faith in the supernatural and worship.

Yup. Believing in higher beings from other dimension is just religion with different words. Only when the belief is based on fact and not faith can it not be religion.

Ubuntu LTS? It can still have rough edges depending on your hardware, but solve them and you got five years of peace.

Okay Beavis, Butthead, nap time!

What’s a few billion to a TRILLION company? That’s peanuts. Everything is fine fellow citizen.

We’re still talking about dancing, right?

Makeup should disappear, and more emphasis should be applied in medically-sound skin care. Your skin should be healthy enough that you don’t need to cover it with paint.

I get that using colors is fun, but makeup as it is today is way beyond reasonable, it’s not only about painting your skin, it’s about insecurity.

Painted hair is cool though.

If you’re using AI as a more powerful search engine, more power to you, that’s IMO how it should be used.

The problem is too many people use it to avoid learning and critical thinking, because it’s much easier.

Shepherds are famous for having lots of free time to write religious fanfiction so future generations bicker about it.

You can do my chores for me if you want, I know it’s little but it’s something.

What? It feels like a web wrapper right now, I always thought it was an old backend because the web app had better functionality.

If everyone else is is wrong, it might be that he’s the one who is wrong.

Actually, I read his post and he’s definitely wrong. Having coded in plaint text editors without syntax highlighting, I know the candy store look really aids locating needles on this haystack. He’s proposing making more needles hay-colored so the ones he thinks are more important become the focus.

It’s just his personal taste, if he loves visual fatigue, he should enjoy it without criticizing others.

Wonder if they also removed the local AI translation, which I find very useful, but it’s also another black box.

I’ve been happy with Calibre Web and downloading to the official reader apps, but I’m open to try new things.

What strikes me as odd is why starting a Java software in this day and age. Java in the server is the COBOL of the 2000s, mostly used for legacy software.

Specially when those companies are valued in TRILLIONS. Nothing is worth trillions, somehow these surreal numbers have been accepted as hard fact.
