I disagree, 26.10 has me actually using Gnome and not pulling my hair out for the first time in my life. The Ubuntu extensions to Gnome make it way more usable for me, the theming is attractive and consistent, the installer is better than ever.
It's not perfect but it's a big step up from a Debian ootb desktop (unless you really like vanilla Gnome which, more power to you, but i don't)
For servers, livepatch, latest ZFS and ZFS-on-root supported ootb, faster release cadence
For desktops, gaming and commercial software support, "it just works" (my fresh install of 26.04 with Wayland, recent WiFi, HDR+VRR, i didn't have to fuss with anything)
For laptops, I've routinely had issues in the past where Fedora or Mint wouldn't work ootb when Ubuntu did.
And then since it's what I'm used to on my server and my desktop, i just use it on my Pis and WSL installs for consistency.
I still try out other distros occasionally and i do run Debian on some specific VMs for various things, but I've just had relatively few issues with Ubuntu, been using it for >10 years, and don't see any reason to switch.
Despite the recent hate, Ubuntu is still serving me very well on all of my servers.
I remember installing 5.10 on my family's old Dell on a day off from school in early 2006. I was probably 13.
I use it for Livepatch and root-on-ZFS
I can't with these sites that so aggressively hijack scrolling. Counterintuitive and frustrating to use.
The animations made it practically unreadable on my phone. Hope someday these people realise they still need to pay designers (they won't)
Did you read the whole thing? I'm not seeing where you're disagreeing with the article
Not if you take option 2, just don't use AI. The companies have to account for where they used AI in order to own the rights, if you didn't use AI, there's nothing to prove. If someone takes your work and you sue them for infringement, and there's no evidence you used AI, then there's no reason to dispute your right to the work
Easy to clear a bar that's on the floor
This argument doesn't make sense, America has already offloaded most of its manufacturing capacity and is already failing to keep munitions assembly lines at pace with a far smaller adversary.
If this were about domestic armaments production then why did they spend 50 years offshoring all of the steel and machine production? And directly subsidizing the Chinese capacity while they were at it?
Lmao yeah and how's that going?
He's a racist right winger that did a Nazi salute. It's perfectly fine to call him a Nazi. Grow up
Eta: you are deliberately ignoring the people languishing in immigration camps and murdered by the secret police thanks to the candidate Musk funded, i wonder why
Every 3 years since 2015 and my corolla just keeps running ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As opposed to the ethical oil industry?
The best option when it comes to cars is to not own one.
(Not that i judge or anything, i have a 10yo corolla but i drive it maybe once a month, between my ebike and public transit i have very little use for it)
I've heard of year+ backorders on parts for ~5 year old models recently. High volume slightly older cars like a 2015 corolla sometimes even have backorders despite how many are still driving
Enterprises pay API rates though and they account for the vast majority of revenue
I actually would absolutely love it if my mobile device gave me complete control to remove the parts i don't like and don't use, that'd be lovely. Instead you gotta install Graphene or something.
Or you could pay the NYT to hire professional chefs to write you recipes, like these people were. You don't pay them if you're satisfied with slop, the slop is everywhere for free
You're spending as much as i make lol i hope you're at least doubling your money, that's wild
If it claims to be useful, it needs to prove it
That is absolutely not true
>has previously implemented AI features... <to convert volumes to weights and scale quantities for recipes>
(Paraphrased)
Seriously??? You need AI to multiply the quantities in a recipe for more or less servings? Something I was taught to do by hand as a child and can be done with the most trivial of software since the day software was invented?
I think i do want off mr. sama's wild ride
The ones that tried to look like a HiFi stack always got me
Source compatibility is surprisingly good, binary compatibility is surprisingly awful, even with Slack.
I have some old Linux CDROM games from ~2000 that are nigh impossible to run, and even a lot of really old software fails to run on old (2.x) kernels without recompilation. But Slackware 4.x wasn't particularly good at this in my testing (i started on a slackware-based retro computing distro[0] but my HDD died with no backup before i finished it)
I mean, other than installing an old distro in old hardware, which i do enjoy. I got a CD copy of Mandrake Gaming Edition on eBay with a bundled port of SimCity 3000 that's very good at running old commercial Linux games.
I think there's people shipping ancient glibc with flatpaks to accomplish this today

When you say responsive, you mean like it reacts quickly, or it responds to screen size?
In web we refer to the latter but i feel you mean the former.
I built a toy project in .NET 2005[0] with WinForms and the experience was actually excellent, binding data to controls was dead simple, it felt surprisingly modern. But i can't imagine how I'd make the UI resizable lol

I can't say for certain but recently having done some work on windows with CDROM drives, i strongly suspect it would. I bet you could mount a music CD BIN/CUE with ImgDrive and it would work... Shit i guess i have to go try it don't I
Edit: i meant ImgDrive as a suggestion for those without optical drives. I have several, I'll test em out
95 feels kinda backwards tbh but 98SE/2000 is outrageously modern. A lot of the windows admin tools are unchanged from 2000 apart from the icons. I really think if you could run a modern browser on 2000 it could be a daily driver for most people
