CETERVM CENSEO CARTHAGINEM ESSE DELENDAM

The US Navy’s obsession with Ice cream stems largely from their appalling lack of rum rations, though. Poor buggers would have to resort to drinking torpedo fuel. (if their vessel even had torpedoes)

Might be the new Tsar’s army getting leftover kit from the old Tsar’s army after burning through their more modern equipment stockpiles.

Forget naval warfare, just invade their ships with your land army.

Justinian be like:

Who coincidentally liked to call himself “Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus” later in his life.

Who was named after Gaius Julius Caesar in one way or another, though.

Furthermore, I consider Carthage must be destroyed.

But what should we do with the toxic byproducts of this kind of energy production?

If he had decency he would now self-expel.

Mentioning Merz and Decency in the same sentence is such grave violation of all laws of logic and human decency that it makes me want to violently expel my stomach’s contents.

Merz is a pathological liar (even more so than the usual politicians), he also has categorically denied cooperating with the AfD and even threatened anyone in the CDU to do so with expulsion from the party, only a few weeks before cooperating with them himself.

If he tells you that the sun is shining outside, better bring an umbrella and a flashlight, because most likely you’ll actually find pitch black night and pouring rain.

Let’s write him a letter of complaint! Anyone know cuneiform?

The Web has been enshittified beyond belief. The decline of search engines started long ago when the web’s overall focus shifted to advertising, but with the advent of “AI” it’ll become even more horrible.

Fun fact: Chaplin had to finance the film himself, because nobody in the US film industry wanted to fund it in order to not anger the Nazis and potentially lose the lucrative German market.

Pretty accurate description of my experience with sales and management.

I know, but I don’t have any half way recent experience with it, so I don’t know whether I can recommend it. When I last checked it out some years ago, it still lacked functionality regular Ubuntu based Mint had.

I am in the same boat as you. I am still running Ubuntu (with snap removed, so I can’t comment on its current performance overhead) on a few of my machines because I couldn’t be bothered to do a reinstall with something less insane, but I’m not recommending Ubuntu to anyone anymore over the same concerns as you have.

If you want to recommend a system that runs decently out of the box and runs a lot of software, recommend Mint instead. Ubuntu used to be Debian with sane default settings that would run out of the box, nowadays Mint is Ubuntu with sane default settings that will run out of the box. Mint also doesn’t subscribe to this snap madness and is continuing to maintain a few packages Ubuntu has migrated to snap as .deb package (for instance Firefox and Chromium).

Indeed, but it only was widely popularised after it had been used to rid France of its king by ridding said King of his head.

I wouldn’t necessarily want to claim the throne in a country that once invented a machine for getting rid of kings by getting rid of their heads very efficiently.
