Remember when Canonical used to give away installation CDs to anyone who asked? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 16 points 3 years ago

Still have those CDs. Getting a package from South Africa was exciting.

Damn, and people complain about Windows ...

I bet if they could have added pictures to this ad, they would have.

You haven't seen the best part yet. They're holding back security updates, if you don't do this whole Pro-shit. I really don't know how much pot their executives smoked to get that awful idea.

And like, to be fair, for personal use, you can get Pro for free, so you 'just' need to create an account to get a secure OS.

But yeah, you basically don't really hear people complaining, because we simply don't use Ubuntu. Plenty better Linux distros to choose from. I only know this shit, because my work laptop unfortunately comes with it and I'm not necessarily allowed to change it.

You mean, like on Ubuntu?

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 16 points 3 years ago

Ubuntu really makes it hard to keep liking it. They keep pushing bullshit like snap.

I don't know about vim, but emacs does have a clippy package for real. You can even make it be useful if you try hard enough.

i could see that as a powershell "feature", which allows microsoft to sell adspace in the command line that reaches technicans and administrators

edit: fixed link

I was going to say, I’m surprised this isn’t a Windows 11 “feature”

cut them some slack, they can't put every annoyance into one version ... got to leave something for future "upgrades"

Maybe for the first time Ubuntu could get to sue them for infringing on their innovation.

Doesn't npm have this already? I've definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.

That's probably cause you or your packages use CoreJS. It's basically a one man project that's holding up the whole modern Internet infrastructure. You can look up the story online, but it was a pretty small donation request for a really relatable individual.

In my free time I develop ways for advertisers to reach as many platforms as possible. I hate ads as much as I hate people who say things like "just skip it if you don't like them" so I spend my time trying to fill every inch of their lives with ads as possible.

Since this week I get some form of ad in the github diff viewer. "Copilot is available for purchase for you organization". Horrible.
