I have an old Soviet mechanical wristwatch that cost 3€ on an Eastern German flea market.
Compared to other watches it sounds like a Diesel tractor, the bezel rotates freely and the wristband pulls my arm hair out.
When I wear it, it's too fast and when I don't wear it, it's too slow.

But I only wear it during the day and take it off at night, and that way it's been keeping perfect time for 15 years.

They stopped him for a few dollars' worth of fare.
They shot him for charging at them with a knife.

Read my comment again:

install Firefox from FlatPak
the Mozilla repo
or from source

In none of these cases will Ubuntu be able to install it from snap instead.
Only the Firefox "package" in the Ubuntu repos actually just links to a script that installs the snap.

Arch is so great, bro! The AUR has everything!
With yay, it's so easy, bro!
Update Arch
yay breaks
stays broken for days

Any other distro that had a broken package manager for 3 days, ever?

when I don’t have a choice and I am being forced to use what the distro maintainers think is good for me.

That's the case on literally any distro.
And just like on literally any distro, you can also install Firefox from FlatPak, the Mozilla repo or from source.

Nope, also illegal to give away. So you legally have to destroy any surplus.

It's a perfectly normal hobby for 100% straight, manly, conservative, white (did I mention straight?) men, who like to meet up with other 100% straight men, to wear skin-tight leather suits and enjoy the strong vibrations of their hot Harley engine between their legs.

I don't know what point you're trying to make, but I'm not praying for anyone to assassinate Weidel just yet.

And German. And French. And Polish. And Danish. And Spanish. And I thought it was pretty universal? Guess it's European.
Anyway, fuck ketchup.

Reuters documented at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket company: crushed limbs, amputations, electrocutions, head and eye wounds and one death. SpaceX employees say they’re paying the price for the billionaire’s push to colonize space at breakneck speed.

Through interviews and government records, Reuters documented at least 600 injuries of SpaceX workers since 2014. Many were serious or disabling. The records included reports of more than 100 workers suffering cuts or lacerations, 29 with broken bones or dislocations, 17 whose hands or fingers were “crushed,” and nine with head injuries, including one skull fracture, four concussions and one traumatic brain injury. The cases also included five burns, five electrocutions, eight accidents that led to amputations, 12 injuries involving multiple unspecified body parts, and seven workers with eye injuries.

SpaceX, founded by Musk more than two decades ago, takes the stance that workers are responsible for protecting themselves, according to more than a dozen current and former employees, including a former senior executive.

Musk himself at times appeared cavalier about safety on visits to SpaceX sites: Four employees said he sometimes played with a novelty flamethrower and discouraged workers from wearing safety yellow because he dislikes bright colors.

I wonder what "limited lifetime warranty" means.

 

I've been issued a work laptop with Windows 11, running the Sophos Endpoint Agent, which monitors all web traffic and processes running on the PC and blocks malicious stuff.
If I install a Linux VM on it and access the web from inside it, will the Endpoint Agent see what I'm doing and be able to block access the same way as it does on the host?

I guess what I'm asking is, how does accessing a website from inside a VM work, actually? Does all the traffic get routed through the host OS unencrypted?

The purpose isn't to try to circumvent any security measures or go over the heads of the IT department, but rather to find out if I can make a case for using my favorite OS on this thing without compromising security.
