You know that you can just let the guy go now, defuse the situation, then pick him up later without having to kill him, right?

Well, is that what happened or is that the narrative of the police?

Lies lies lies lies lies, as always

Well yeah, doh.

But to be fair, he is correct.that it requires the law to be updated. It should be an obligatory requirement; you want to be president? Show your tax records. Show your health records. Give up your companies, sell your stocks, etc

It should all be required by law, but US laws are... Interesting

One wonders how long it will be until the Italian government requires VPN providers to give them access to all their hardware just so they can check and spy in every detail of every citizen because won't anybody think of the damn children? Eh, I mean, poor media providers? Eh, I mean... Well, something, but won't anybody think about the something something?? Give us your encrypted traffic!

internet service providers now face a potential prison sentence for failing to report piracy.

You would think that Italy faces a lot of actual, real issues that would require jail time, like bribery, massive fraud, etc. but obviously banks are important enough to just, you know, let them do their thing.

24.10 is the first release I've had with major problems

It's Kubuntu for me, not Ubuntu, but yay shouldn't matter

Upgrade from 24.04 to 24.10 failed spectacularly, first upgrade failure in like a decade or so?

So I reinstalled, added crypttab and fstab devices, reboot, then that failed. For some reason, crypttab isn't working right.

In any case, I boot into an emergency she'll because of that, but systemd (frack systemd, just like snap) complains about /usr/sbin not being a symlink, saying its critical and why it can't boot

Eh, okay? I merge it with /usr/bin, symlink it, systemd happy. Things still seemed to work, so yay! Well, crypttab still isn't but we'll figure it out, let's get to work first!

Cue a few days later, most has been setup, and I want to install docker. Docker installation failed because a dependency failed to find a file. I can't even remember the last time that happened. I can't cancel the install either, so it's stuck and I can't install anything else.

After a day I figure out how to cancel the install completely by cancelling literally docker and every dependency, great.

Work a long time trying to investigate what's wrong, now I find other packages failing as well. Loads of searches later I figure out that apt hates /use/sbin is a symlink. Frack me for listening to systemd

Try to split it again, copying contents of bin to sbin, nope. Try to put backup directories back, nope.

Reinstall, and prep for attempt #3

Install again, all seems okay, but when adding crypttab and fstab devices, won't boot again.

This release sucks

Yeah, but how do you think all those nice things like a house, a car, food, etc come into existence? A fairy? The wish of a child in full moon light? A a djinn? Or just, you know, people having a job and doing work?

I don't get this part of people who reason like this and think it'll work. There are plenty of crappy or dirty tasks to be done, and someone's gotta do them. How do you think your garbage disappears, or how things get cleaned?

Not even, they mostly just don't think about it. All they see is moneys, the end

This.

Until the entire world runs on renewables and nuclear power it doesn't make any sense at all to do carbon capture as the energy used to capture would have been more efficiently spent on avoiding carbon release in the first place.

Been saying this for years here but it usually ends with a lot of downvotes

I'm glad he decided to do what he had to do which is genocide and child murder

Never say never, but that is highly doubtful at best. The driver either is there or it isn't and won't mount anyway
