Dear Canonical,
Please stop changing something major about networking from one version to the next. It's really annoying when I lose DNS one upgrade, then you change the name of my network device on another upgrade.
Love,
People Who Just Want Stay Current And Sane
(Edit to be a good citizen, do-release-upgrade from 22.04.4 to 24.04.1 changed "eth0" to "enX0", breaking my netplan config)

Hachyderm.io has its problems as an instance, but they published a GREAT explainer for moderation on Mastodon. It's part 1 of a series, but I found it particularly useful for describing the experience of BIPOC folx compared to white folx.

@npub1r4h…u0jf yep. There's the progressive/conservative axis, the authoritarian/libertarian axis (lawful/chaotic for the DnD folks), good/evil, and I'm sure others.

@npub1afz…wdvg I somehow got the YouTube algorithm to recommend that sort of content about USPol, except it's a 10 minute video. 😡

@npub1t00…kx23 I have a question--who was the greatest synthpop artist of all time and why was it Martin Gore?

@npub1cx7…8tc2 I am pointing out that you say "can't" when you mean "won't".
