IMHO, that doesn't feel much different than getting stuck in traffic elsewhere.
The reason why I mentioned the drive thru dates back to my time in the Canadian military. Military vehicles aren't allowed in a drive thru. That makes sense for armoured vehicles, etc. but it even extends to regular commercial vehicles owned/rented by the military. There is one exception: Military Police. They argue their car is their office, so they can't leave it. So even the Police can't all agree!
It's really not. If that's the case, then they shouldn't be allowed to go into the coffee shop while on shift, they have to go through the drive thru. If they are taking work break, then they need to have coverage, just like other jobs!
This is a bit surprising because it's already in place. Usually, push-back is because humans are naturally resistant to change and people can't envision the benefits as easily as the drawbacks.
some residents expressed concern about cars and trucks clogging up side streets.
Maybe these concerns needed to be addressed, possibly by traffic calming the areas around the pedestrian zone? However, my money is that the "clogged up side streets" won't get any better.
I'm also confused why they're parked like that. Land in SF is expensive. Wouldn't you just double and triple park them?
In addition to what other people have said about gdebi, I'm surprised it's not there by default in Pop. I thought it was there in pretty much all Ubuntu-based distros (except where alternatives are used).
I totally get not wanting to use the terminal for this purpose. It's pretty rare that I download and install a .deb, but when I do, it's nice to just click it straight from the browser and not have to navigate to my download folder in the terminal. And given how rarely I download and install .deb files, I have to look up the command every time.
If I remember correctly, it's the fact that these loans are held by companies who pay state tax. If the loans are paid out by the federal government, the states' future tax revenues will be diminished.
Nice try FBI!
I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for years now, after distro-hopping for a decade. I think there's 2 main reasons Mint has stuck:
-
Cinnamon - I think it looks pretty while not being overly heavy (though I think that all DEs are pretty efficient nowadays, I'll take all the performance I can get out of this 14-year-old ThinkPad x201). It has good features while operating fairly stable. It's also stable in that there's few drastic changes.
-
Ubuntu, but slightly better - I like Ubuntu, and used it on-and-off for years (Warty through at least Precise), but Ubuntu's made a lot of drastic changes over the years which messed with my workflow. Other changes I just disliked (ex Snaps), and I feel like they keep trying to force these changes on users. Whenever something's hard or impossible on Mint, I feel it's a technical challenge, not the distro actively preventing me from doing it. It's nice to have a Ubuntu based distro because most instructions found online Just Work™.
It's all Ext4, but I run SnapRAID on top of that on my data drives. I'm sure lots of people would tell me I should use ZFS/BTRFS instead, but I'm used to SnapRAID, and I like the idea if something goes wrong, I won't lose all my data.
Oh, I don't disagree. I've definitely done some of that. I think I installed i3 or awesomeWM back on LM19.x/20.x. However, this is a guide that says things like, "For a smooth and trouble-free installation". It seems to be aimed at a general audience when I think those people should just be re-directed to a KDE-distro.
Right, but how often do you have to give it out loud? I'm Canadian, and I don't think I've ever said my SIN out loud in person. It's either on paperwork, or over the phone.
