Remember when Canonical used to give away installation CDs to anyone who asked? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Still have those CDs. Getting a package from South Africa was exciting.
Damn, and people complain about Windows …
I bet if they could have added pictures to this ad, they would have.
You haven’t seen the best part yet. They’re holding back security updates, if you don’t do this whole Pro-shit. I really don’t know how much pot their executives smoked to get that awful idea.
And like, to be fair, for personal use, you can get Pro for free, so you ‘just’ need to create an account to get a secure OS.
But yeah, you basically don’t really hear people complaining, because we simply don’t use Ubuntu. Plenty better Linux distros to choose from. I only know this shit, because my work laptop unfortunately comes with it and I’m not necessarily allowed to change it.
Security updates for packages that are so old that they aged out of official support.
Who determines how old a package needs to be before they start charging money for it?
Well they do, of course.Tune in next year when they turn off free Snap patches.

You didn’t unmount your ventoy… uh oh!
just unplug it real fast when you notice while rm’s still hanging in your extensive /home
what in the fuck.
I replied this to someone else gonna put it here:
Kinda a shit take. Canonical is very generous with licensing. They give you 5 free personal licenses per account AND they license per physical host which is practically unheard of now. Like everything is per VM or container or CPUs or sockets etc now. One pro license on an ESXi host could have hundreds of VMs and Canonical is OK with that.
Source: I work with and use ubuntu pro. Canonical’s alright in my book. More than I can say for the RHEL team

You mean, like on Ubuntu?
Ubuntu really makes it hard to keep liking it. They keep pushing bullshit like snap.

Ooh. What about fdisk? Or parted. You know. 'cause raid.
DELET THIS
I mean… I already use ubuntu, so…
Wicked self burn
Those are rare.
This is the beuty of FOSS. I can add them myself, whenever I want to.
I don’t know about vim, but emacs does have a clippy package for real. You can even make it be useful if you try hard enough.
Since this week I get some form of ad in the github diff viewer. “Copilot is available for purchase for you organization”. Horrible.
Yeah they’ve put them in a couple places, It’s pretty bad. Had to work out how to create a custom uBlock Origin rule to block them.
there’s a dismiss button under the hamburger menu right next to it, it removes all of these copilot ads permanently.
You better delete this, fuck you!
