How long have you tried Linux / Ubuntu before you left it? Have you tried other distros? Your issue is real, but the solution might be something more radical than a small fix. Maybe it’s too late this time, but try some options next time you decide to explore Linux.

Love is love, but there are differences, and they should be celebrated.

As far as I know, gnocchi tells you when it’s done, so you are probably right and they just simplify the process so they don’t have to have someone scoping it out.

I really don’t want to be a downer, but the title kind of make this a flawed message. The shark can miraculously hold a football, but the place of the crab is only as a goalie? I believe there’s always a way, but we are not naturally limited to a small set of positions.

It’s just a guess, but I believe there’s probably someone at every stage of the implementation saying it doesn’t quite work like that or that it doesn’t work at all. But who cares?

I’m pretty sure someone asked that question when they tried to prevent robotaxis on the streets, but someone else got paid to skip the bureaucracy. Now they will collect extra money from the companies for not being road ready.

If they are treating tech flaws as a crime, all the violations come from the exact same driver. Take the license away.

When I was in Barcelona, I did exactly that to eat without spending too much. Two or three blocks away from touristic attractions and I could have nice meals in small establishments with nice people.

There’ll be people that see this as a good thing and not exploitative at all. We are absolutely too used to the people above taking two kidneys and forcing us to pay for the life support they provide that them asking kindly for just one kidney feels OK.
