another day, another Ubuntu upgrade.

- Python 3.14 broke a whole bunch of my tools because the licence file in an add-on library is in the wrong format. Naturally, this makes Python shit the bed and cry.

- GIMP is broken because the ancient script-fu Scheme interpreter is broken, somehow?

- no borders around terminal windows?! How do people overlap windows and stay sane?

- the "... is not responding" window pops up too often

It's very apt that the logo is a trash panda.

@scruss at least they stick to their tradition of breaking what was working before ...

@Wintermute_BBS but they should go back to breaking so badly that it won't even boot, which I've had it do a couple of times.

This machine has been upgraded ever since 2013, so I hate to think of all the shit that's hidden in there.

@scruss 2013 is a long time, my deepest respect. mine is running since late 2020 but it's Void so it doesn't count - except for shit hidden in there since then ... heh ...

@Wintermute_BBS I would have upgraded it some time ago, but ... in this economy?

(Huge props to my friend Scott who specced me out a bargain machine that's still not terrible.)
