It's been a while on Bluesky. Ubuntu 26.04 is about to be released soon on April 23th, and it will be first to be abandoned using Ubiquity, since their support is to be deprecated and will be a little hard to make a baseline for any new Ubuntu-based.

Thank you for the response. I'm going to try to remember to follow your posts because I'm curious to see how the upgrade goes. Best wishes!

*Ugh ran out of space... I run Ubuntu 26.04 beta in a virtual machine, using VirtualBox and VMware.
I loved running Ubuntu 24.04 directly on my laptop and couldn't believe it actually worked (had to use the HWE kernel to see all my hardware, though).
I'm grateful for any advice and/or tips.

Upgrading to 26.04 scares me. Well, it would, except I'm currently on Windows 11 running Ubuntu 26.04 beta. But I've never yet had a successful upgrade from 24.04. I think it's me: somehow I borked it. I ran Ubuntu 24.04 bare metal and would like to run Ubuntu 26.04 instead of Windows 11 maybe.

Who is the genius that put him behind an end table as a desk for a photo-op?

Oh, boy! Who gets to read Ezekiel 23:20? Will there be any adult supervision or restriction for minors? This should be fun! I'm guessing they'll read that part as quickly as possible if they don't skip it. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

I know it's for SQL Server itself on Linux, not SQL Server ODBC connectivity, but it might help. Not sure if this may help more. Wish I were a Linux guru... maybe someday. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/co...

FreeTDS is still around in the Ubuntu apt repos... no idea how often it gets updated, though. I tried it against an ancient MSSQL server we have at work and it worked fine. Dunno if it would break against the modern SQL server (if this helps): learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/li...

If it's a well-behaved deb, then in theory you can `dpkg -i` it. It will fail, because of missing deps. Then IIRC you can `apt-get install -f` to install the missing deps.
Another thought: If the ODBC driver's too much trouble and there's a pure Java JDBC driver, that might be worth a try.

Why is that? What I like a lot about Flatpak and Snap is that the installations are isolated from the host OS. Apt on Ubuntu and Debian might score high on reliability but scores low on freshness in comparison. E.g., LibreOffice. Though I have a soft spot for PPAs/etc (e.g. Incus, Nginx).

Maybe Amazon or Netflix can do a deep-dive biopic on him once he's dead and his kids are in prison.
It will surely be as popular as Melania, and the Trump boys can even watch it in the day room at the Federal penitentiary.

😆👍💯 Trump may be the greatest villain ever in the history of the American Empire Franchise, in what may prove to be our final Dystopia-themed Season (or Season, period, stay tuned). It's very hard to translate a character's power when you cannot reference intelligence, talent, or emotional appeal.

Well, I suppose that brings me to the philosophical (and possibly spiteful) question of the day: did Trump's mother ever love him, and if she were here, would she still? And thanks go to Mother Jones for this ad:

I'm thinking that part of his delusion is thinking that everyone else, or even anyone else, needs to hear his opinions.

Is taming his own tongue even a mental concept for Trump? Inquiring minds want to know (or have nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon...).

I'm not a guru (yet), so I'm not entirely sure about local package installs, which I've done occasionally and usually use gdebi because dpkg is practically as basic as it gets. I think you can use apt or aptitude to install a local package, too. I grab Flatpak then Snap if I must on most things.

Also installing gdebi and using it instead of dpkg for local package installs may be very helpful.

For Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, I recommend installing aptitude and synaptic for CLI and GUI package management. Aptitude can determine dependency issues and offer installation scenarios. Synaptic is... well, Synaptic. Lovely beast and fun to use, but still a beast.

So, Trump never really wanted a ballroom. He wanted a bunker to protect himself from citizens.
Color me shocked.

I actually paid attention to the rumor mill on this one: I thought there was no way that Trump merely wanted a ballroom, because he thinks too highly of himself to think that small... and I was right. Yay, me? Cynicism 1 Optimism 0? Grift 1 Integrity 0? Fraud 1 American People 0? How to score this?
