the walmart here must be experiencing a high rate self-checkout ‘discounts’. they’ve added more ‘watchers’ who are actually watching everything. enough extra bodies now that they could just staff the regular registers, and with less waiting in line for the customer.

that’s where most of my ‘issues’ come from when upgrading an old debian… upstream version changes to major software packages (python, php, even apache 1.x to 2 back in the day) that require some manual intervention
it’s really not their responsibility to babysit user-initiated configuration changes and third-party software during updates and upgrades. the user makes the changes that go ‘off book’ and uses ‘non debian’ software–so that is where the responsibility lies.

‘remove from package’.
i’d get that one correct.

‘refrigerate’
well, only as necessary until it’s gone. i’d get half credit for that one.

relativestranger@feddit.nlto memes@lemmy.world•What came to mind when I saw that stock photoEnglish2·11 days agoi’ve had more issues with forced updates from pc manufacturers–whether via their own update mechanism or through windows update, including bad bios updates that literally bricks a pc to the point a board swap is needed.
windows ones almost always ‘install’ correctly… it’s often more a question ‘why tf do i want this shit?’
the ‘automatic’ updates should strictly be security patches and critical non-security bug fixes. new and substantially-changed features should be optional or deferred to… ya know… the big updates each year called ‘feature updates’, and not rammed down users’ throats every month.

i just use developer edition, which defaults to its own profile, along side the release version. then when i need a third, i use a ‘portable’ one also with its own–which can easily be zipped-up for a backup to revert back to when i’m testing stuff out.
this is, of course, on top of the several derivatives i have installed. i segregate browsers and profiles by use and in a couple cases by specific site or service.
