Fixing tech debt is more a people/commercial problem than a technical one. You just had to send a report to one guy, but that guy has to spend ridiculous amounts of energy convincing execs and stakeholders that it is worth breaking their current real workflows for a future imaginary payoff. Piling AI on the broken establishment model is relatively more appealing. That Principal might have just done you a favor you didn’t realize.

worldnews@sh.itjust.works•Vietnam elects Communist Party chief as president, echoing China's power structureEnglish

Yes, unfortunately you have to clean install (they have a guide for it). It’s fine for me since it’s based on Debian, which has a very long support cycle spanning two or more years generally.
No, I chose systemd for the familiarity.
I tried COSMIC on PopOS and had the same sour experience that LTT famously did in his recent video. And honestly, considering that it is visually and functionally no different than GNOME (which is already on wayland and much more stable), I don’t know why they’re even bothering with it.

1·1 month agoDid they pay in Rupees? I recall a headline from a few years ago that Iran had agreed to sell oil for Rupees.
Why not just switch to systemd-boot?
Strange, I have weed stashed with me and two joints I rolled two months ago but haven’t been touched yet. Just never get in the mood.

13·1 month agoThis implies that the radical regime somehow was more conducive to US interests and did not in turn want to “sell their oil by themselves” too, which is… doubtful. Had that been the case things would have turned out differently.
Just upload ye olde tarballs onto your static raw-HTML-coded site like the classic programmers (like the legendary Monsieur Bellard) do.
