Yes. Now if you use apt to install Firefox or Thunderbird, it will reinstall snap and install the snap versions of those programs.
If you blacklist snap, it’ll throw an error when you try to install Firefox or Thunderbird cause it can’t resolve their “dependencies”.
You’ll have to install those programs from outside of Ubuntu’s repositories, and the list of affected programs is growing.
Ubuntu’s stated goal is to eventually use snap for all userland apps.

You mean old Ubuntu?

It’s not very sophisticated and has no error handling, but I only run it locally…

Your opinion seems to be immutable.
But I’m not rolling over.

I do.

Every time I install a package, or once a month.
I use a script that shows new Arch news messages, updates the mirrorlist with the fastest mirrors in my country, updates repo packages, updates aur packages, then prints created .pacnew and .pacsave files as well as orphaned and dropped packages.

Call Microsoft about a bug and tell me how well their support works for you.

Pretty well, actually.

I fixed a boot issue from the grub command line for the first time.

Debian is the only distro in my recent memory that crashed into an unbootable state right after a default installation.
Manual Arch installation is tedious and unnecessary if you’ve done it once, and the automated archinstall fails too often. Other than that, I’ve had literally zero issues with it.

If Christians could agree with each other about what’s in the bible, history would be a lot more boring.

no, I don’t.

In Lom Stave Church, a Norwegian church from the 12th century, there are Nordic runes carved into the wooden wall, right below the ceiling.

They read:
“I was here, all the way up in the corner.”

“If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”

You pay for the convenience.
I don’t often need to print something, but when I do, it’s usually outside of the opening hours of a print shop and I’m in a hurry.
(95% of my printing are fantasy RPG floor plans that I’ve downloaded literally 5 minutes before the players show up.)

The Christian explanation for this is that god doesn’t do evil, people do.
And god created people with free will to do evil. If he made people stop doing evil deeds, they would be his puppets, not free-willed humans. So he has the power to end all evil but chooses not to.

Now as for why god allows natural disasters, diseases and other tragedies to befall his creation – again, that’s just the consequence of our actions, cause a woman gave an apple to her man in the past.

Because Windows 10 Support runs out next year.

With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn’t work anymore.
But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus’ options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.

My bank requires a second factor for everything done over the web instance. That second factor is either an app or a hardware token generator you have to buy seperately.
