Nonsense. If there's one thing we've learned from Republicans about Republicans, it's that there's no such thing as being Republican enough.

I was expecting a complementary bisoff but was pleasantly surprised by bye dad.

Have you ever seen Beyond Belief?

Yeah, he has a mild ressemblance to 1960s William Shatter around the eyes.

This has been a thing for years. They have to have realized by now

Follow-up: The icing on the cake was a release or so ago when apt started queueing the snap package's installation instead. Very clever, but also a confusing user experience. It took a few iterations before I understood the snap was getting installed instead of the deb.

Firefox is one of the worst snaps. It pops up an annoying notification everyday reminding you to restarted it. Then came the crashing. It got to a point where I couldn't keep my browser running more than a few minutes at a time.

I wanted to like snaps, and I'm not overall negative on Ubuntu, but keeping the web browser functional is minimum requirement. The Firefox PPA is much more reliable.

Agreed. Writing is about more than shaping information into text. It's also about persuasion, rhetoric, agenda, and emotion. When we write, we tell our readers a story about ourselves or the world. We hope to connect to another human and for a moment not be alone.
