  • To be fair, back then Ubuntu was basically just “Debian preconfigured for desktop with a check-box in the installer to include non-free stuff”.
    Debian today feels like old Ubuntu, and Ubuntu today feels like a distro made by a corporation desperately trying to enshittify Linux.


  • The biggest deal was including non-free firmware on the install media.
    In the past, if you used the official ISO and started the installation, it would format your disk and then inform you that it can’t connect to your Wi-Fi to download additional software.
    Then it would install the semi-complete bare-bones system that fit on one install disc and boot you into a desktop with no network configuration.


  • The UNIX certification is arbitrary and useless. Windows 11 could get it if they paid for it.
    UNIX is irrelevant now anyway. Linux has taken its place, and every commercial UNIX (except for MacOS I guess) is at end of life or in maintenance mode now. They only still exist for a handful of applications that require decades of backwards compatibility.



  • Finally, after twenty years, the power of the Taborites was broken with the Battle of Lipany on 30 May 1434, during which 13,000 of the 18,000-strong army of Taborites and Sirotci, led by Prokop Holý, were overwhelmingly defeated by the united Catholic forces. Under the weight of this defeat, the Sirotci’s union completely disappeared. Many of the leading Taborite commanders fell in battle, including the leading priest Prokop Holý.
    Jan Roháč and his faithful fortified at his castle Zion, which was soon conquered and all the surviving defenders were hanged in the Old Town Square of Prague.

    What if I need to send a notarized email?

    Germany actually tried to make that a thing.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-Mail

    Several aspects of the law have sparked criticism of the system.

    • Communication between De-Mail and regular email addresses is not possible.
    • End-to-end encryption is not mandatory.
    • The data provided during the identification process for the account creation is centrally stored and available to the authorities.






  • And everyone promotes them for tasks they aren’t experts in.
    Managers think they could replace devs, but never a manager.
    Devs think they could replace management but never a senior developer.
    Storyboard drawers think they can write screenplays. Screenplay writers think they can draw storyboards. Etc.
    As an expert, you know how shit AI is in your own field, but surely those other jobs are simple enough to be replaced.
