Nothing wrong with Ubuntu if you just wanna get stuff done and don’t have a genuine interest in (or time to spend on) tweaking your OS.
I use Ubuntu btw.

There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn’t the place for it.
Debian here. IMO “btw” is purely reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.

When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can’t deal with it at the moment.

As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they’re wanting to hide it nowadays!

I use Ubuntu at work. I don’t even care, it’s legit 500% faster than my Windows laptop, despite being objectively lower-speccd.

Whatever, as long as your computer is free
Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Same, one LTS to the next, and all online tutorials assume you’re on it. My years of messing with fstab, alsamixer and such are long behind me.
(Started on mandrake in about 2001 btw)
ignotum@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I agree
I use Arch btw
M137@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I’m forced to use it so it’s easy to hate it because of that, every little thing that I know isn’t a problem or as hard to do on other distros just makes me long for those.

What about snaps though?
Honestly asking since I’ve never actually used them
ratel@mander.xyz 2 weeks ago
Oh yeah I forgot about those, I think I actually disabled the snap service, or maybe I have a couple of things via snap but only small gui utilities. I use apt and dpkg for everything else, but it was annoying that they made Firefox snap only since 22.04 unless you add the extra apt repository. Easy enough to work around it and move on though.
Fuck snaps.

I got to feed endangered African penguins once at an aviary! They just swallow whole fish (whether in the water or tossed to them though the air), no need for prep.
Fun fact, they secrete all that fish oil right onto their feathers (it helps them glide though the water), but that makes them little stink monsters! Seriously, penguins smell rather terrible haha.
spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Added fun facts: they have teeth in their throats to haul the fish down, and the fish oil secretions are stored in a gland near their tails!
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Fish oil secretions are stored in a gland
…the gland doesn’t just store it, it converts it to a waxy substance that comes out somewhere and the penguin rubs it all over to help waterproof their coat.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Weird that they keep flightless birds in aviary, but penguins are my spirit animal so I’m jealous.
NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That must have been really fun! The Toronto zoo has an awards plaque for “Nice Penguin of the Month” and “Naughty Penguin of the Month” which leads me to believe that they must be characters
Deconceptualist@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
Oh most definitely, this species at least was full of personality. They were very well cared-for so they were little divas and had all kinds of interesting relationships with one another (the caretaker told it like a soap opera).
They would also ignore the fish we tossed that they didn’t prefer and wait for their favorite. So the caretaker had to go around and pick up the extra fish when food time was over lol
Dymonika@beehaw.org 2 weeks ago
Wow, that’s… kind of disgustingly intriguing of evolution…
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
i grew up near Marine World Africa USA before it got bought out by six flags. It was the Standard Second Grade Field Trip out here to go to Marine World and go see the animals and ride the teacups that i swear disneyland ripped off and made better (yes i made this part of the story up when i was in second grade shut up). But the park was not opened up for the summer yet and all us little shits got to run around. And at 2pm they had a penguin feeding and I told my teacher I loved the pengies at the Portland Oregon zoo, so we went to see the pengies and get a special lesson from the pengie trainer. I don’t remember most of it but i got to throw a fish at not to (let’s be honest i still throw like an uncoordinated 6 year old who should have been drummed off his tee ball team) the penguins.
It was neat
i had an onion on my beltsharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Feeding them is great and all but I spent a few months of my life cleaning up after them and let me tell you, penguins are fuckin nasty. I love them to death but holy god I will not be doing that again.
Deconceptualist@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
I mean, they are the reason our planet has entire islands made out of bird guano. Pretty gross.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
He must have given her the shiniest pebble on the planet because that looks fucking delicious ngl
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And as a fellow seafood lover, I want some of what you’re smoking.
I mean what the hell is going on in the top and bottom right quadrants? What’s with that bright orange noodle slop? And I can’t even begin to describe what the other thing is supposed to be. Also, no cocktail sauce? No butter?
OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Bottom right Mushroom wild rice, top right is wasbi mayo. I think the fish are smelts. The imitation crab and shrimp im not sure about.But the rest of the plate I can say is indigenous cuisine and native to my area. Very delicious for the most part epsiecally the wild rice.

Different cultures, different eating habits.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
You’re taking the piss? That looks like a dog’s breakfast. Like bile at the back of the throat.
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
You get that different cultures have different cuisine preferences, right? That honestly looks pretty good to me accompanied with a plate of rice.

What is the orange stuff at the top middle and what’s the chopped stuff on the bottom right?
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Spicy mayo as a condiment, and looks like clams without the shells
janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s so much mayo lol
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
I didn’t think penguins could have Mayo
Bristlecone@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Glad I looked at this comment cuz that looks like fucking easy cheese or Velveeta or something to me and I was like what the fuck??
Gork@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Top middle looks like Mac and cheese. Not sure what the bottom right is, almost looks like crawfish or something vaguely prawny
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
That’s spicy mayo (mayo, Sriracha, lime)
OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
The bottom is mushroom wild rice, I think. Very popular indigenous dish in my area. Its amazing!!
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
as opposed to a wild penguin.

Like how Gatorade is blue.

Gatorade is yellow-green, you heathen. Anything other than lemon-lime Gatorade require the qualifier.

I can confirm. You can do a good 20 of them with the same patter.
