Both comments are right. It is still a buggy, minimal alpha, but i would say in the last year or two it has become a somewhat enjoyable game rather than a tech demo you’d check a release every once in a while.
Development has consistently been a shitshow, but there really is nothing else like it.
If the internet actually enforced copyright to the letter of the law
Whose law? Whose enforcers? The Internet is fundamentally incompatible with traditional sovereignty and jurisdiction concepts
No. The problem is that that system was created and lobbied for literally by Disney and other big “IP holders” like music labels. That “while” after the holder’s death has been increasing to ridiculous levels. They are not getting special treatment by abusing the system, they’re changing the system to benefit them. And don’t be fooled into thinking this benefits bedroom musicians, it’s quite the opposite.

And don’t get me started on how the US treats copyright internationally. The whole world has been effectively subjugated to incredibly ass-backwards rules without even a say in it. “If it’s accessible via the internet it counts as officially published in the United States”? fuck off.
On the other side of the coin, we have agreements such as the Berne Convention, a 1886 document that still governs a good chunk of international copyright relations. Even the “good” parts of such agreements are terribly inadequate for the Information Age where works can be published and redistributed globally with little effort
What is “fair compensation”, in this case, for you? Does bringing joy to millions of people entitle you to more money or do you see the happiness you shared and subsequent fame as part of your “payment” - what you get out of it?
Personally I don’t have an issue with individual intellectual property, it’s the acquisition and trade of it by corporations that I have an issue with. For example, I believe no copyright should last after the creator’s death. Disney is dead, Tolkien is dead, many musicians are dead, let alive creators contribute to their worlds.
Mentioning one’s orientation is not “forcing to discuss your sexuality”. It was an introduction thread, not a technical one, so it’s not even out of place. Also, a community forum is not “work”
The political part is the mod intervention, not someone saying “I’m queer”

Maybe you could use a Mikrotik RouterBOARD, some feature a single SFP port. They’re great and inexpensive.
All my homies hate having to pay for online services
If anything, barrel plugs are more planned obsolescence than USB-C. How many old gadgets end up in landfill only because you’ve lost their specific charger? But still to me that’s not even planned obsolescence, just repairability vs interoperability
I’ll take everyday convenience over less inconvenience in case of an exceptional event
Happy to hear you sorted it out! If you want to leave it in fstab so it is automatically mounted but continue booting if it’s missing, you can add the nofail mount option.
Petition to ban this style of emoji use
ACPI/BIOS errors are usually benign and not the cause of boot failures, but those seem weirder than the ones I’ve encountered before.
Did you enter emergency mode and inspect the system logs? I don’t know why it suggests journalctl -xb, use journalctl -e to see at what point it got stuck
We’ll take the cake, but you’re still not invited Canonical
They ascended from userland to kernelspace
I’ve seen this before with laptops, but never with desktop motherboards.
No technical reason they couldn’t release flashable files, so see if someone has extracted and posted them online, or support a better vendor
Ah shit, is this ZA/UM all over again?
#blessed by a chance to learn something on the aw 🙏
