CenturyLink customers can say goodbye to stable, reliable, uncapped cheap fiber Internet

If "Lumen" is the same as "Quantum", then since I was forced to drop my slow-but-rock-solid DSL for the quantum "upgrade" a year ago, it's been neither "stable"
  nor "reliable." (And a double fuck-you for blocking *INCOMING* 25. WTF is that all about?)

And the hits just keep on comin'

Not sure when the last time you tried it was, but I just did a 24.04 server install two weeks ago. I was expecting to have just that problem when I did the initial setup on my workbench (currently lacking a hardwire after an incident with the puppy), but it supported my USB wifi dongle OOTB.

Has Heroic made it possible to paste a password into the store login yet? Last time I tried it on my Deck, a couple months back, it was a non-starter, since I couldn't be arsed to transcribe the 32-character random string from Bitwarden on the on-screen keyboard.

There was a github issue open for a while, but it seemed to be being ignored.

Comment they got me this week (Score 1) 91

the support team i'm on got fucked onto win11 this week, despite the fact that the entire company just got acquired on April 1 and we're all getting new laptops by the end of the month, with current laptops going into the trash. it's so stupid and i am so goddamn mad (you can put that in the paper).

like, i was resigned for the new laptops to be running 11, because ofc they would, but for someone somewhere to decide, hey you know what fuck those guys, let em eat it, and force-upgrade out shit with a month to go seems downright malicious to me.

what's really odd is that it appears it was done by the old company, because we're still joined to that domain, not the new company.
