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?

This, but unironically.

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

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

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.”

– Terry Pratchett, in The Thief of Time

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 friends call me “Please fix my printer”.

No, the French are always revolting.

Which they did on purpose, so you can’t use the recorded song commercially.

Framework’s choice for display isn’t Linux compatible.

They really should have set the option Make_Discord_Blurry_On_Framework_Laptops to "false" in the Linux kernel.

Every car you could buy in the past 20 (probably 30) years had a computer system, because you can’t meet emissions regulations without fuel injection.
In Europe, the Dacia Sandero base model is a car that literally only comes with what’s needed to drive or mandated by law.
The previous generation was still available with wind-up windows, no power steering and no radio.

I don’t know about any offerings in the US market.

For that, they’d have to develop an entirely new engine, which they then couldn’t sell in Europe, America, Australia or most of Asia due to emissions regulations. So maybe they’re doing it, but it will be a one-off prestige project at the end of the internal combustion engine age, and all of them will be put in museums or private collections.

“We value providing our customers with choice, so there is an option to dismiss the notification.”

Thank you daddy Microsoft for still letting me click “no” on your invasive popup ad with a dark pattern to make me change my system settings.

If you read more than the headline, you’d know that you can simply purchase those options instead of subscribing, if you want.
Which makes the entire article pointless. But you’d need to read more than the headline to see that, which is too much to ask.
