Msn is google?

They claimed to use the same protections as others. Is there a more accurate article about how their lending was faulty?

Aren’t they already in use by some stores? M

Maybe most of this is just circus to keep you worried?

The thing I don’t like about them is the BT tracking/detection. Not seen any system with the capability to track individuals, but it will show heat maps of where people spend time and clump up. This comes “free” as it’s usually zigbee or similar radios that are used, and these support BT

They are - and they’re e-ink based so power lasts a long time. I’ve not been to a store that don’t have them in many years.

They’re great - always showing the correct price/ amount, and it’s less hassle for the store to change.

As long as you have a free market and not a coordinated one it will work out great for you guys too

Yeah - as moderation don’t work here only option is to block posters

Ppa’s are Ubuntu… Debian is not Ubuntu even if Ubuntu is Debian

A ppa is a repo. It’s Ubuntu stuff, and there’s no reason to work your ass off for Ubuntu for free. They’ll just shit on you and claim that snaps are great (they’re not)

I’m quite sure it won’t be long until some bad practice spreads like this. Giving clueless “Linux pros” top advice on how to enable a back door.

LLMs can be poisoned and as datasets increase and complexity grows it will be harder to contain.

Cgpt works great for some stuff, but all you know is that someone somewhere wrote something similar. They are no better than Google in predicting what is good material and what’s wrong, and training is statistics.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

If that doesn’t help boot with a live-cd or rescue, and check that your grub config points to a valid kernel.

Your hdd might be the culprit but it’s very hard to say from that screen. Maybe the one previously that can show your boot command

Well - the screen seems to indicate that it might wanna duel you anyway

I might be a special case as I Mostly use Linux for servers. But I have maybe experienced one such case on the last three years on our 50-odd servers

While you will get somewhat the same from apt, I like the Debian way of providing base config support in packages and have local config loaded by include statements.

As you don’t edit the default config and automatic updates can happen w/o user input and your config will stay safe

Fake news….

Linux is not always the answer, and free to install isn’t always cheap.

I would not claim that Ubuntu is anything but stable. We run a bunch of Ubuntu lts servers at work and there’s hardly any issues. Found a 16.x the other day with over 500 days uptime driving signage. That was desktop version.

I use Debian because of the OSS focus, and stability. And because I know the distro fairly well. They’re conservative in choice of tools and for instance only went full systemd a few years back (5?)

I don’t mind systemd but I don’t mind sysv init either. Even slackwares scripts worked fine. If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

There’s like one directory left after my uninstall - I don’t do this by hand though so I’ll have to look up the playbook.

My first line was the snap remove

Might need an autoremove —purge at the end to clean up.

Does pipewire interface directly to drivers or is it user-space magic on top of alsa like pulseaudio?

Nice try canonical - no matter what you say snaps is just your way to lock people in to your store. You’re no better than apple, only your product is shit. Excluding the shoulders you stand on, which are made by others. You’re the enshitification of Linux.

Why would you pull debs from random sites? Do you know how hard that is to do for the average user? And you want to compare that to a download from the store that’s in the basic install on Ubuntu?

What’s wrong with just removing snap? When ever I am forced to install Ubuntu I will remove snap and the “advantage-tools” (the part trying to sell you support)

First I’ll snap remove —purge all snap packages Then apt purge —auotoremove snapd ubuntu-advantage-tools
