Why not just distupgrade to 24.04 (cosmic)? If you don’t like the DE just install the one of your choice (I’ve been running it with plasma since the beginning of the year and it seems fine)

I remember one vacation to Orlando where we went to Disney and then Lego land. At Disney they’ll put walls around construction and then add these inspirational posters like “excuse our dust while we reimagine your dreams” or whatever. At Lego land they had the same plywood walls but then these plaques with some ISO-compliant safety icons and a message like “construction area: trespassing may cause death”.

It looks like Mr Toad wearing a waistcoat and trousers. OP you should have tried giving him a tiny top hat and pocket watch.

I genuinely have to ask because I no longer am able to differentiate sarcasm on the internet, but were you being snarky or did you actually want to know if a grown-ass adult managed to figure out using a website all by themselves?

Plot twist: mystrothedefender is actually the cat in her avatar and was actually just trying to insult dogs.

All it talks about is about how the woman has a better life working 4 days instead of 5. I don’t know that we really needed a whole article to explain that.

Was just talking with a coworker about how with the rise of server-side rendering we’re finally technologically back to Web 1.0

Read the meme, upvoted, then read the title. Yikes.

How do you fight willful — or even gleeful — stupidity? No amount of argument, information or even observable outcome is going to change the mind of someone who is happier to not know.

In Limits to Growth, a '70s era tome lauded by both environmentalists and doomsday conspiracy theorists, MIT scientists made a number of predictions about population growth, food production, etc, using the data available at the time -- and were immediately lambasted by the media and politicians as being fear-mongering, since they hinted that collapse would likely come in the 2nd half of the 21st century. Recently, investment guy Joachim Klement revisited the predictions, adding data from this century. The results were... not great, with some indicating that we're living in the peak of human development like literally right this minute.

 

I was hoping one would have a heart that says "Mom" inside, but I guess a pattern of dots is a start...
