It's not terrorism if it's not even trying to kill people. That's just destruction of property or arson in this case.

Yeah but you'd need to do it for *everything* that's affected, which is a lot.
Forced updates are bad if they bork you system, sure. If you know what you are doing it's also mostly fine to skip a few. But the truth of the matter is that 95% of users wouldn't ever update their system if they didn't have to. Then half of them infect their system with ransomware and the other half get to join a huge botnet.
We've had that before and I wouldn't want to go back. A few bored systems because of updates are probably preferable to at least as many lost to malware, where data is often unrecoverable.
The problem is that the all those apps installed as dependencies will get marked as unused and removed with the next --autoremove (which you should probably do regularly to clean up old kernels.
The real fix would be to mark all those apps as explicitly installed, but I don't use apt-based distros regularly so idk how.
Distrobox would like a word, or so I've heard. Haven't had to use it yet, as the AUR has pretty much everything.
What do you have against redhat.com?
So the snowflakes have reached the banning words stage now, have they?
Not fixed but a couple of predefined sizes it will pick the next size down from.
- Keys always in backpack
- Computer set to automatically enter suspend mode
- grab something to eat on the way
There, fixed
What? That just means it will corrupt files on fat32 too but not the whole filesystem so you didn't notice. Return that shit.
It's not like individual locations determined they're overstaffed or something. The CEO is just blanket firing people because it makes some numbers look more gooder on some spreadsheet.
