expert700··on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat
I also had a slightly rough experience. I started my upgrade from 22.04 -> 24.04 and walked away. I came back to my system frozen on the Plymouth screen. After trying and failing to get into a TTY a few times, I booted into recovery mode, re-ran the upgrade, and it actually worked.

That was a lot rougher than my experience upgrading from 20.04 -> 22.04, which went off without a hitch.

expert700··on Yuzu emulator developers settle Nintendo lawsuit, pay $2.4M in damages
They did not just win a court case though, they merely settled it outside of court; settling outside of court does not establish any legal precedent one way or another

I'm very surprised to learn that 7,300 years ago counts as "recorded history".
expert700··on Apple publishes human rights policy, commits to freedom of information
All empty words. Don't look at what they say, look at what they do; Apple has a long history of acquiescing to the CCP's every demand so that they can keep their access to the Chinese market.

They probably just put this out because they ran some focus groups and determined that this would improve their image among American / European consumers.

expert700··on Bloody Harvest–How Everyone Ignored the Crime of the Century
Whataboutisms, a frequent strategy of the CCP's concerted online influence effort, are counterproductive. Drawing a false equivalence between crimes against humanity in China and lesser events in the US does not a justification make.
