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.

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.

Lots of trade schools are charging 10-20k/year and expecting 2 years of you…trades are great but we’re using student loans for them too depending on where you are*

*large cities tend to have better cheaper options like community college and there at least was some small federal schools that didn’t require loans. But not all areas have equal coverage here and you often get price gouged if you aren’t from that very specific city/town the community college is in. Tl;dr hopefully you live in an area with good resources which is not even remotely guaranteed.

What better way to make America great than to force a bunch of new construction?..… /s

Trump boosted an article from the Washington times using that exact triangle yesterday…

Just get some tinnitus the fan noise is basically the same!

Fair enough!

It is worth noting that almost all Americans pay other taxes. Federally there’s also social security and Medicare taxes.

At the state level almost every state also has an income tax, and some states like Pennsylvania also have a local county tax. Others have things like personal property tax (Missouri) or other more targeted taxes on specific services.

Same here. I would feel much happier to consider shopping around again if more options than just Google offered updates but that never seems to materialize

Their phones cost the same as iPhones with imo usually worse hardware which at least to me defeats the purpose.

Now will any company actually use this? It’s my biggest issue with android phones is so many of them just never get security updates

“There is a very specific group that does have to worry about their immunity from vaccination. People born after 1957 but vaccinated before 1968 — that group is unlikely to have robust immunity from infection,” she said, because “at that point in time, they were using less effective vaccines.” There are also other people who could potentially benefit from getting a booster. “I myself have gotten boosted in the past because I work in health care, I’ve worked overseas and I’ve worked in places where there was an active measles outbreak," she said.

Heads up for late boomer/gen xers in there (and those that work in health care settings likely to see measles patients).

How the hell is that thing legal to sell??

I don’t know man this level of ingenuity really makes me want to buy a new HP printer! /s

I use calibre for my kindle, but kavita for web reading on any of my devices.

The calibre web server kept claiming its downloads to my device were corrupted and would just never open books. Kavita just sends the books page as a web page which gets rid of that particular issue

I love the idea, is there a way to do tap/click to turn the page instead of continuous though? I’ve been looking for something similar to host sheet music for myself but continuous mode is non-workable for my admittedly niche use case.

Susan Balfour, 63, was incarcerated for 33 years at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility until her release in December 2021. Balfour said she was among a group of prisoners asked to clean the facility without protective equipment.

She was later diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, a condition that prison health care providers failed to identify years ago because they could save money by not performing necessary medical screenings and treatment, according to the lawsuit Balfour filed in the U.S. Southern District of Mississippi.

Balfour’s attorneys and Gibbs say over 10 other Mississippi inmates have come down with cancer or become seriously ill after they were exposed to chemicals while on work assignments.

Cleaning supplies are often caustic, this just seems like incredibly unnecessary cruelty. They also waited till the very end of the article to mention the prison doctors did think she needed a test for cancer years prior and the medical groups just refused to send her to get the test.

Balfour sued three companies contracted to provide health care to prisoners at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. The companies delayed or failed to schedule follow-up cancer screenings for Balfour even though they had been recommended by prison physicians, the lawsuit says.

They look almost identical!

Maybe if they made cars people wanted at affordable prices this wouldn’t be an issue?

The article keeps talking about China gaining ground but if these companies had gotten a jump on affordable EVs years ago instead of fighting emissions targets this wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.
