They also reportedly blocked fire trucks from getting to the fire and are still tying up litigation claiming that they shouldn’t have to pay for the damage to the rest of the destroyed block from the resulting fire.

As in ready to go phones? Not really no. There are Linux phones like the pine phone, but they are not really ready for prime time in any way.
sailfish os says its Linux based and supports android abi 33, but they’re Europe only. I’ve not heard much about them other than they support old Sony Xperia phones so can’t really comment if they’re more usable than the pinephone.

Exactly, they don’t want you to have time to think and call but even if weird any place I’ve used or worked has been fine with you calling back on the main line yourself to make sure it’s the right place.
Taking that time to think is hard in the moment though.

This sounds like a good reminder to never trust incoming communication beyond ending the conversation and calling the company/person/whatever directly using a # you already have for them/a number from their confirmed website.

It would be worth a try since this seems to be mostly performance related glitches

Offhand anecdotes here as I only have Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook.
That said the error post update is likely just a service that didn’t restart properly. Many of these are not necessarily critical, does it say what program crashed? A reboot would guarantee a fix here.
Unfortunately the issues with apps might be the snap packaging, this does slow apps down a bit which could cause pretty much all the remaining issues. I haven’t personally used it but might look up flatpak as a replacement and see if that helps. If others don’t explain how to do this I will try to come edit this later with an explainer or link or something to help.

Is this a conscious bet or just a man-child literally unable to admit he’s wrong?

Usually ours to account for things like good behavior/parole I think? I always assumed they used that upper range as the stick part of the incentive to not fuck up again once you’re out of prison since getting sent back would make you serve the longest possible sentence.

For as much hate as it gets Ubuntu (or kubuntu for the kde version) will feel very familiar in usage and will have a newer kernel. It’s my default it just needs to work distro if regular Debian isn’t an issue due to drivers or something similar.

To lash out at everything that’s progressed in the last 60-70 years that makes them feel stupid/inadequate… and since they are genuinely pretty fucking stupid that’s gonna be a ridiculously long list of things they want to get rid of.

According to interviews and presentations viewed by WIRED, the goal of these cities would be to have places where anti-aging clinical trials, nuclear reactor startups, and building construction can proceed without having to get prior approval from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Yes because the first thing I think needs regulations is fucking nuclear power!
