That will absolutely include government accounts.

Google would get instagibbed.

At points they’ve updated multiple times per day.

Fully blocking only if you aren’t using uBlock Origin, which you just have to update the filters on.

Complete waste of effort.

Alphabet needs to be broken up.

I left waaaaay back when they decided that everyone had to have their shitty launchers and logins and basically turned into Autodesk.

I deal with one Autodesk at a time. And it’s Autodesk.

You may have found the joke.

I’ve said it before… all we need to do is get every major food and beverage produced to put a fuckin’ Pride flag on their shit and within six months all conservatives will have starved to death.

I mean, I assume they will. It couldn’t be that they’re hypocritical trash and would eat food with a Pride flag on it… right?

But I thought the open nature of open source meant it was safe because someone has checked all code everywhere!

This shit has become tedious.

Only in Linux Land would “daily desktop tips” include “REINSTALL YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM FOR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FEATURES.”

Unless you’re Ubuntu, apparently.

I’m sorry, are we talking about shit that users do or are we talking about masturbatory sysadmin jizzcup filler? Because it seems like you’re not paying attention to the conversation, which is that Ubuntu doesn’t even let users install .deb packages through the fucking package manager.

“Provided you choose the right distro.”

Yeah. Windows or MacOS if you actually want to do shit.

EDIT
Just wanted to mention, I’ve never had an issue with Windows or MacOS that wasn’t directly caused by my own personal fuckery. Somehow though, I’ve had multiple Linux distro installs decide to hose themselves because they didn’t update through the precious fucking package manager properly. You know, the thing that everyone is now shitting on users for not using?

The most fun one was whenever a Debian update decided that the right thing to do was move my primary drive into a subfolder in /etc. Yeah. That fucking happened.

Goalpost moving fuck.

Not there to make a profit? Then why the fuck do all of the major distros have donation pages, and shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people? Stop fucking acting like mainstream Linux distros are still Slackware equivalent one-man operations. That’s horseshit and you fucking know it.

Those repos are nowhere near vast as shit. It’s trivial to find software that isn’t one or more of them, and quite often what is there isn’t remotely a recent version.

Removing the ability to install .debs is literally limiting user choice and walling things off so the user doesn’t hurt themselves, the same shit that every fucking Linux knob has been squealing about Windows and MacOS doing for decades.

Can you do that with Windows or MacOS?

Yes, I can in fact download programs that aren’t on the Windows or Mac app stores. Are you even paying attention here?

Yes, by the shit-tier decisions of the distro developers.

UBUNTU IS A PRODUCT. IT MAKES PROFIT. MARKET SHARE IS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

Or did you not even bother reading the fucking headline?

Or were you too busy moving the goalposts to even do that?

“Oh look, this software isn’t available in the selection that Fedora/Ubuntu/Mint/whatever decided I should have. I guess I can’t install it despite the fact that there are compatible packages for my distro.”

Yeah right. Walled garden horseshit. Linux apologists do anything they can to move goalposts, to the point where using it is fucking impossible if you actually listen to every asshole’s personal opinion.

If you can’t adapt to the user’s behavior YOU are in the wrong. End of fucking story.

And seriously, you’re using an app store to illustrate why limiting user choice is good. What the actual fuck are you doing on a Linux sub anyway?

Something that worked last week now does not work.

System issue. Suck less shit at systems and maybe people in general would give a shit about Linux.
