exemption won’t really matter in the end. for sites and services that ‘rely’ on these bullshit verifications–linux will be a non-conforming, non-participant. and you won’t be able to access those things from linux… not unlike how rooted & 3rd party firmware phones are treated now by many financial and streaming apps.
i have no idea.
i personally bin (recycle bin, that is) any drive (ssd or hdd) that has any abnormality in its internal diagnostics data, or won’t pass short and long diagnostics tests even if their stats are clean.
arco was shut down last year because…
The reasoning behind this move, as shared by Erik, is his advancing age and him realizing that he doesn’t have the same level of mental focus or stamina he used to have before. He has found himself making small mistakes, the kind that can negatively affect a major undertaking like this.

yeaaaaaa… no thank you.
due south, corner gas, and my niece’s (who trains horses) current favorite, heartland (which at 19 years and still running, is literally older than she is)
not long ago i was installing and testing pretty much everything i could get my hands on, just to see what was ‘out there’ these days. which did find me putting deepin (via suse) on a system to see if it was worth anything.
it was not. horribly broken. and that system required a firmware recovery just to function after that.
in an s&p500 index fund, a hell of a lot more.
a lot of people made copies of LPs and tapes, or recorded off the radio… and those often got passed around at school. someone having two VCRs to make copies of movies wasn’t nearly as common. we lived in small towns or out in the boonies, so there weren’t any ‘retailers’ selling bootlegs or copies either.
i do remember downloading a few of those old cam releases back in the stone age of the internets (slow dialup). super low res and quality, often unstable video and/or audience noises. but hey, it was ‘good enuf’.
nothing new here. esr from trixie; release and devedition from packages.mozilla.org. just updated and ran all three to see. sponsored and recommended crud was off (it is literally the first things that get changed on new installs) and are still off.
even basic fullhd can pull several gigs per hour, per stream.
my adopted dad used to hit their old 8gb per month jetpak quota in one weekend just refreshing a local auction site (they don’t stream or so much other than email and banking at home otherwise)
if taco johns sold it for that, it’d cost you $0.05. they round even 1c or 6c up to the next higher nickel.
from deepin? the DE that got yeeted from suse and fedora? nty.
none. 15 year old apu, slow laptop hdd, 2gb ram (some consumed by the graphics). cpu performance of the earliest s939 dual core athlons.
put a puppy or antix on it, i guess, and hope for the best. with the 8gb max and a small sata ssd it could run something more mainstream.
update to add: i just reinstalled the latest antix-full over the top of my old one that runs on an old athlon dual core (am2+ 4gb and hdd). creeps a bit over 1gb ram used once you load a page up in firefox. it’ll be ‘usable’, i guess, running one thing at a time and not going crazy with open tabs and windows. still gonna go back on the recycle pile though. i have too many of this era desktop, no takers for them, and not enough room to store 'em.
financials are pretty good. it’s their share price that is going down the shitter.
i don’t think i even need to post the image.

‘lost’ in this context would normally mean ‘destroyed’
have you actually looked at a snap’s status?

i know that. i suggested the bug report because snaps themselves do report strict confinement even though snap debug doesn’t list that confinement option’s availability.
file a debian bug report against snapd.
what, wut?
there’s a ‘phoenix’ for firefox?
for the browser formerly known as ‘phoenix’?
