Australia already has these laws.

The Prime Minister said the laws of mathematics don’t apply

Every government is jealous of Australia, where anyone working in IT can also be forced to put in a backdoor, and silenced from talking about it.

Wait, are we moving on from vim vs emacs?

Reread my comment.

“On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.”

That’s why I have to manually remove them to choose a better nvidia driver.

I can’t say it any clearer

You misunderstood what I wrote.

I didn’t manually install anything.

On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.

When you go to the Additional Drivers, it says you have manually installed drivers and all options are greyed out.

Why do I want another driver? I found the open driver Ubuntu chose to install was flaky and provided substandard performance compared to the proprietary driver.

And I have my commands to remove drivers, and for reference, the commands you give won’t help a noob, and your steps are incomplete for earlier Ubuntu versions.

Ubuntu Additional Drivers offered me a choice between 11 different nvidia drivers.

nouveau,and then a mishmash of nvidia versions, open, proprietary and server.

Like OP was probably trying to do, had to manually remove the existing driver before you could select anything. All those options were greyed out because of a ‘manual installed driver’

And guess what did this ‘manual installed driver’? Me? No. Ubuntu’s own uograde or running the command for ubuntu to select the ‘besr driver’.

Fortunately, I’d been through nvidia hell several times, and knew how to manually perform the removal and install, but felt horrified for any new users that might stumble into this. With changing versions, it can be difficult when searching to work out which results are actually relevant, and which are obsolete.

Always remember anything with a wildcard is your enemy. Triple check before you can trust it and hit enter.

No, they said it was Felicity in chocolate

Sheesh!

Excuse my ignorance, but why is Germany a good place for privacy vs proton’s Sweden?

And also eg, versus a non EU nation ?

And people are celebrating it now being able to record your screen 🤣

My job here is done 😉

All of them?

NO! NO, I WON’T HAVE IT!

I will not give up my command line, obscure, non-obvious commands that control my machine!

It is an abomination that I don’t have to search for, and then wade through hundreds of AI generated pages of useless information just to show me what services are running with systemd!

I am seriously considering starting my own startup system. I am thinking I could initiate (init) runlevels to start subsystems at various stages. If anyone is interested, hit me up.

Not me, but I have heard that kids used to think ‘olden times’ were black & white, because all old films were before the introduction of colour. Like, it’s only in the last 80? years that people see in colour…

It makes me giggle when modern movies use b&w to depict pre 21st century, or even ‘flashbacks’ are b&w

If we’re 3 meals away from chaos, or 9 meals away from anarchy, human rights won’t be unimportant, but would you place them above your own survival or feeding your children?

It’s the subtext for so many doomsday/zombie movies. When it really comes to the crunch, what wouldn’t you do ?

It was full of ActiveX controls and Silverlight.

shudders

Oh, yeah I know 27 programming languages.

What? Haha, no, I can’t program them.

“You know enough to be dangerous”

It can be used as either an insult or a compliment.

Nobody ever gives the cow any credit…

I misread you as saying “Thanks late stage filesystem.” 🤣

A scifi short story I read was set in a somewhat idyllic future.

Robots did everything. Everyone was given housing, food etc. Health was covered and people lived virtually forever. Nobody worked, and you could travel and do anything you wanted.

The most prized thing, that everyone was desperate for, was having an original thought.
