Bloody hell, this is what your comment made me think:
Republicans are rectangles, most democrats are squares. Republicans have been changing the size and shape of their original somewhat square hole to be smaller and thinner so former republicans who don’t fit anymore just use the square hole instead of the rectangle hole. Sure, we’d like to vote for a semi circle, or even a circle. But we can only use the square hole. Because there are still a lot of pieces that use the rectangle hole. And if we use the circle hole, or the semi circle hole, or even the bridge hole, the skinny demented rectangles win. So we all have to use the square hole.
But square and non-skinny rectangles, while they like to win and beat the skinny rectangles, still want everyone to be a square. They will only support circles if there are no squares or rectangles left to support.
Maybe Ubuntu changed since I last used it. I looked and it looks like interim means non-LTS.
coreutils is, well, important. It’s fine to bring new software in, but you have to test it. And they haven’t tested enough.
Ubuntu has, at least long stretches of the past decade, been a really good server and desktop for me. Having bugs that prevent updates is not acceptable for a server OS. Yes, you should be able to manually intervene but I expect a higher standard from Ubuntu.
Changes like swapping out coreutils for the rust variant really needs to go through Debian first. Are there bugs that trickle through Debian? Yes. But Debian is stable. Ubuntu should be too. They are basically testing a core function in production. Ubuntu releases are not supposed to be betas. At least, historically, that has held true.
Fuck Whitmer. She’s for the car companies and not for the people. She puts on a show but does nothing of substance.
