IsambardPrinceI miss Scientific Linux.May 03 04:14
IsambardPrinceThey shut down and told everyone to use CentOS and we all know how that story ended.May 03 04:14
IsambardPrinceRat Crap as MinceR likes to say, made CentOS a semi-unstable upstream for RHEL.May 03 04:15
IsambardPrinceTo force people who "freeload" in their terminology, to test possibly broken patches that are available on RHEL, but are not enabled by default because they could break something.May 03 04:15
IsambardPrinceSo now there's Rocky Linux for people who want a system that doesn't move around a lot.May 03 04:16
IsambardPrinceAnd then there's CentOS for crackheads like Elon Musk to run X/Twitter on.May 03 04:16
IsambardPrinceAnd then there's Fedora for when you don't care if something is on fire every time you update.May 03 04:16
IsambardPrinceKind of like Windows only not as bad.May 03 04:16

_what__Note: GNOME is GAFAM http://techrights.org/wiki/GNOME_FoundationMay 03 04:21
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | GNOME FoundationMay 03 04:21
MinceRmost of what used to be free software, microslop (including lackeys like Indian Bowel Movement) took over, made its own and reshaped in its own imageMay 03 04:22
MinceRnow i can twiddle my thumbs for 2 seconds when i switch desktops so the fucking windows render on a PC with 8 GB of RAM.May 03 04:22
MinceRand this is not a heavyweight setup.May 03 04:23
IsambardPrinceMinceR: GNOME is downright bloated and pokey.May 03 04:27
IsambardPrinceIt's for people who worship the bastard child of Windows 11's performance and the awful HIG of the Mac.May 03 04:27
IsambardPrinceBy the time you install the shell extensions that make the GUI less terrible, they clash and bring down the shell constantly.May 03 04:28
MinceRyou're not supposed to install shell extensions anywayMay 03 04:28
MinceRthey infringe on the "branding"May 03 04:28
MinceRbranding is clearly more important than usability.May 03 04:28
IsambardPrinceBecause they're all written largely with JavaScript and they target a shell API that changes a lot and is not defined clearly.May 03 04:28
MinceR(or freedom)May 03 04:29
schestowitz[TR2]<IsambardPrince> But there's a guy talking about shitty lawyers.May 03 04:43

IsambardPrinceHe said his shop can't do loaner cars anymore because they're in Georgia right next to Florida.May 03 04:44
IsambardPrinceA customer in a loaner went to Florida which has a law that says anyone except car dealers who loan you their car are responsible for anything you do with it.May 03 04:45
IsambardPrinceSo this customer went to Florida and rear ended someone.May 03 04:45
IsambardPrinceThey got an ambulance chaser who wanted $1.1 million and the shop's lawyer said in 30 days you'll get a notice that they had this, this, and that injury.May 03 04:45
IsambardPrinceAnd so the shop owner said well did you get their medical report?May 03 04:45
IsambardPrinceAnd the guy says no, but we've dealt with this lawyer before and every client he gets who was in a car accident has exactly the same injuries that they claim.May 03 04:46
_what__and what's funny anyway https://techrights.org/search/query?search=Search&set1=any&query1=%22mostly%20funny%22May 03 04:46
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Techrights β€” SearchMay 03 04:46
IsambardPrinceAnd so he goes, well how does everyone in any car accident always get the same injuries.May 03 04:46
IsambardPrinceAnd he said well that's not important and you should just settle with them for $500,000 and your insurance will cover it because it's a $1 million policy. If we fight it, it'll cost more than it's worth and you'll pay the extra $100,000.May 03 04:47
IsambardPrinceSo he settled, then his car insurance for the shop came up for renewal and they wouldn't renew it until he agreed to get rid of loaner cars.May 03 04:47

IsambardPrincePackagekit sucks.May 03 21:32
IsambardPrinceHas terrible error handling when there's a host timeout.May 03 21:32
IsambardPrinceI figured out what happened.May 03 21:33
IsambardPrinceYou can't update your apt sources now because they blocked all the VPN servers that they could think of.May 03 21:34
IsambardPrinceSo the only way to upgrade packages is to use split tunneling to start the terminal app.May 03 21:34
IsambardPrinceYes, now their server respondsMay 03 21:35
IsambardPrinceVery slowly, but it respondsMay 03 21:35
IsambardPrinceGuessing the attack continues and blocking VPN servers and Tor exit nodes alleviated part of the problem.May 03 21:36
IsambardPrinceThat's super annoying tbh 😀 I've been running into the same issue with snap updates failing when my VPN is on. Seems like their DDoS protection is being way too aggressive and just blocking VPN traffic wholesale"May 03 21:37

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.theverge.com | Ubuntu’s AI plans have Linux users looking for a β€˜kill switch’ | The VergeMay 03 21:52
IsambardPrinceYeah, Slopbuntu is their next release apparently.May 03 21:52
IsambardPrinceProbably partnering with OpenAI to put keylogger spyware into the OS.May 03 21:52
IsambardPrince"In his original post, Seager said the upcoming AI features will include accessibility tools like AI speech-to-text and text-to-speech, along with agentic AI features for tasks like troubleshooting and automation. Canonical is also encouraging its engineers to use AI more and plans to begin introducing AI features in Ubuntu β€œthroughout the next year.”"May 03 21:53
IsambardPrince"In a follow-up comment, Seager clarified that, β€œmy plan is to introduce AI-backed features as a β€˜preview’ on a strictly opt-in basis in [Ubuntu version] 26.10. In subsequent releases, my plan is to have a step in the initial setup wizard that allows the user to choose whether or not they’d like the AI-native features enabled.” Ultimately, he said, β€œAll of these capabilities will be delivered as Snaps to the OS, layered on May 03 21:53
IsambardPrincetop of the existing Ubuntu stack. That means there will always be the option of removing those Snaps.”"May 03 21:53
IsambardPrinceYay, more "Figuring out how Snap works so you can remove Snaps."May 03 21:54

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: Ubuntu has a really great week, first they announce that AI slop is coming, but then their entire site goes down including the Snap server which will apparently deploy the AI malware.May 03 21:54
IsambardPrinceSince the malware is deployed via Snaps it would be trivial for them to put it in older versions of Ubuntu automatically and without asking the user.May 03 21:55

IsambardPrinceIf they can figure out how to get the fatwa on their servers to stop.May 03 21:55
IsambardPrincePaying them doesn't work.May 03 21:55
IsambardPrinceIf someone extorts you and you pay them, they know extortion works and they demand more.May 03 21:56
IsambardPrince"The ability to remove the Snaps for the AI features, or choose not to install them to begin with, may resolve some users’ concerns, but those who prefer to avoid AI entirely could end up switching to other distributions, including one of the many distros based on Ubuntu, like Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, or Zorin OS. These distros have some similarities to Ubuntu, but may not necessarily adopt the new AI features Canonical is rolling out."May 03 21:56
IsambardPrinceKDE NEON turned out to be mostly Ubuntu compatible but not entirely.May 03 21:57
IsambardPrinceThere were always issues with setting up software sources that were aimed at Ubuntu.May 03 21:57
IsambardPrinceYou could usually get them to work, but it almost always meant doing something that might break NEON later.May 03 21:57
IsambardPrinceAnd Canonical has lawyers that "reach out" and demand money if you base your distribution on Ubuntu and get popular.May 03 21:58
IsambardPrinceDebian hadn't ever had lawyers demand money from systems based on Debian.May 03 21:58
IsambardPrinceThere's still a Linux Mint Debian Edition.May 03 21:58
IsambardPrinceI might look into that at some point.May 03 21:58
IsambardPrinceUbuntu is becoming intolerable, and their inability to figure out how to deal with the current attack, and their "solution" that didn't work being to attack legitimate users who just happen to be on a VPN server while the attack continues unabated just reeks of complete stupidity.May 03 21:59
IsambardPrince"The DDOS attack is massive and might be government-sponsored or funded. The attack seems to be continuing, in the sense, that Canonical/Ubuntu bring a website back into service only to have the website go down a few hours later.May 03 22:00
IsambardPrinceI've been tracking the outages using the Canonical and Ubuntu Status webpage. Scroll down for details. The situation changes frequently."May 03 22:00
IsambardPrinceIt would not surprise me if Microsoft paid someone to do this and blame it on Jihadists.May 03 22:00
IsambardPrinceThey have the resources of a small government.May 03 22:01
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: Probably Microsoft funded.May 03 22:08
IsambardPrinceThey let the ubuntu.com website work for a while with graffiti that blames Muslim terror groups.May 03 22:09
IsambardPrinceBut then it went down again.May 03 22:09
IsambardPrinceWhoever it was wants people to think they know who did it.May 03 22:09

MinceR32 GB is the new 640 kB?May 03 22:39
IsambardPrince8 GB works for most Linux users still.May 03 22:52
IsambardPrince4 GB is nd of constrained, but workable if you don't leave too many things running.May 03 22:53
IsambardPrince16 GB is still a lot of RAM with Linux.May 03 22:53
IsambardPrince32 GB with Linux is crazy, unless you're doing something like "compiling the Android Open Source Project".May 03 22:54
IsambardPrinceAndroid takes a lot of RAM to compile, but not much to run.May 03 22:54
IsambardPrinceIt's mainly not self-hosting because the devices it runs on don't have enough memory to compile it.May 03 22:55
IsambardPrinceYou could technically self-host Android.May 03 22:56
IsambardPrinceIt does support "Linux" stuff now in a terminal.May 03 22:56
MinceR8 GB doesn't work very well anymoreMay 03 22:57

IsambardPrinceThat's no guarantee the new components are better.May 03 23:38
IsambardPrinceThey probably have different bugs.May 03 23:38
