Cosmic tuning. Running #weechat-matrix #matrix #client inside #docker on #ubuntu #server within secure system perimeter, requiring using #double #ssh #jump #server with #key #authentication and so on. But I got it done, oh joy.

#Xubuntu #Desktop #Lightlocker #xfce #screensaver #xscreensaver I had two overlapping screensavers. Maybe that was the reason why the #lockscreen #password field was #disabled. It was so annoying. You couldn't unlock X session after it got locked once. It was also #BOFH like trolling. Enter your password, and it can't be done. I'm sure someone was laughing somewhere. #Ubuntu #X

Finally I did #distribution #upgrade to the #Ubuntu #Focal #Fossa. Everything went well, except #Python 3.8.6 gave me a bit of hard time. Had to downgrade it. Yet 3.9 is the version I'm actually using.

I just #uninstalled whole #snap #snapd and use normal #software #packages instead with #Ubuntu. Much faster and I'm happier too.

I'm now finally using #netplan to #configure #networking #interfaces instead of the good old networking / #ifup and if command with parameters in #scripts. Different way, the same end result. #Ubuntu #Linux

Debían 10. Se dice pronto. Felicidades #debian . La distro universal que es como Federer o Nadal en el Tenis. Existen otras pero a nadie le importan demasiado. Todas terminan copiando a la madre de las diestros: Debian.

No aceptes imitaciones ridículas y patéticas como #ubuntu por ejemplo.

This is very disappointing to see. The screenshot shows "You're ready to go!", followed by "You can use 'Software' to install apps like these:". The apps they list, in left-right top-down order, are: VLC (free), Skype (non-free), Spotify (non-free), Slack (non-free), Discord (non-free), Corebird (free), Mailspring (free), GIMP (free), Minecraft (non-free), Android Studio (non-free), Ora (non-free), Notepad-Plus-Plus (free), Tusk (free), Brave (free), and IDEA Community (free).

That is 8 free and _7 non-free_. Also in the screenshot on the left is an Amazon icon.

We've known #Ubuntu to do these things for a while now, but I grow increasingly disappointed with each release. Ubuntu also encourages the use of proprietary software through "snaps", and advertises non-free software by default through their package repositories unless you explicitly check a box (at least in previous version) during installation to use only free repositories.

I found out you can set up #Ubuntu w/o bloat & with the window manager you actually want using "console expert install" http://qttr.at/231t

I wonder what will become of Snappy and if they'll ditch that too #Ubuntu

Wow, #Ubuntu #MATE is really polished.

今週の #Ubuntu Weekly Recipeは「第502回　AMD Ryzen 5でパワフルPCを構築する」。執筆はいくやさんです。
年末最後のRecipeである今回は、Ryzen 5 1600搭載PCの速さを、LibreOfficeのビルド時間から確認しています。思っていた以上に速くて驚いたという話です。

Haven't used #ubuntu in years, but the upcoming #release is getting me excited. !linux

Jokes aside, the DPI settings for #Gnome need work if #Ubuntu is using it. As much as I dislike Unity, it displayed at the right resolution.

@d3jblog I think #shuttleworth's plan at the end is: selling #Ubuntu (shares) to some mega corporation like !Microsoft.

@luke Non-free drivers seemed an acceptable compromise to support old hardware; #Nvidia seemed the last proprietary hold-out in a war we'd won… Then #Ubuntu launched their non-free app store, I went back to install #Debian on recent hardware and… #WTF! I thought we fixed this!
