Yes. Now if you use apt to install Firefox or Thunderbird, it will reinstall snap and install the snap versions of those programs.
If you blacklist snap, it’ll throw an error when you try to install Firefox or Thunderbird cause it can’t resolve their “dependencies”.
You’ll have to install those programs from outside of Ubuntu’s repositories, and the list of affected programs is growing.
Ubuntu’s stated goal is to eventually use snap for all userland apps.

You mean old Ubuntu?

This, but unironically.

Sounds like an average day on feddit.

Call Microsoft about a bug and tell me how well their support works for you.

Pretty well, actually.

Do you want cats on your desk? Cause that’s how you get cats on your desk.

I fixed a boot issue from the grub command line for the first time.

What the fuck is “fruit essence”?

“If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”

The Christian explanation for this is that god doesn’t do evil, people do.
And god created people with free will to do evil. If he made people stop doing evil deeds, they would be his puppets, not free-willed humans. So he has the power to end all evil but chooses not to.

Now as for why god allows natural disasters, diseases and other tragedies to befall his creation – again, that’s just the consequence of our actions, cause a woman gave an apple to her man in the past.

“HAHAHA…no”

A container ship like that weighs more than the bridge tower it hit.

Baltimore Truthers, already?

Because Windows 10 Support runs out next year.

With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn’t work anymore.
But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus’ options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.

Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying “you should use wsl2.”

You really really shouldn’t. It sucks in a number of ways neither Windows nor Linux do by themselves.

Never heard of it before, googled it, it’s in pre-alpha and looks like Yet Another Gnome Theme.

Yes, in the same way that all biologists are owned by Monsanto and all computer scientists are owned by Microsoft.
