Yeah it’s impossible to really remove much of anything from the internet. They’re welcome to restore them. It took no effort on my part. I used a browser extension. When it was done, I deleted my account. Most of the comments were just answering Linux questions or commenting on music and guitar posts.

I don’t even click search results from Reddit. When they started turning over info on users who had negative things to say about ICE, they lost me for good.

I already deleted my 15 year old account, all of my posts, and all of my comments. Fuck Reddit and their shitty policies.

I’m waiting on a Kobo Libra Colour right now. I looked at it and Boox. I went with Kobo because I didn’t want an Android tablet. If I was willing to spend more, I would have considered the Pocketbook which runs a custom Linux distro or the Supernote which does run Android but is super repairable and upgradable.

That was peak Ubuntu for me. I actually do mostly like where Gnome ended up but it just felt so new and fresh at the time. Until 2002, I had only ever used Windows and old Macs. When I saw what FOSS could be and Ubuntu then made it really easy, my mind was blown.

I couldn’t have said it better.

Snaps are the big one. I know Pro is free for the average users but imagine if they didn’t put security updates for the universe repos behind that sign up? I understand that they didn’t get those updates before Pro but imagine if they just gave those updates to all users. I still think it is one of the great all time distros. I just think their focus is more on enterprise than on the average user and I am nostalgic for those early days.

I stubbornly stuck with it until last year. I’d still recommend it to a new Linux user if they weren’t fans of Mint but I feel like Mint has more of that old Ubuntu spirit. Ubuntu is one of the greatest distros ever in my opinion, and I get that Canonical is a business and has to make money, but what if they had maintained that focus on Linux for human beings.

The gaming industry turned its back on gamers a long time ago by making it difficult to truly own a game. It’s no wonder people want to go back and play old games that don’t rely on a server somewhere that could be shutdown at any point.

Click all of the links and read thoroughly. My dumb ass scanned it and put my head in my hands.
