Just someone on the web, he/him. Leftist, not liberal. No minors.
Is there a way in Ubuntu to install a new version of a program over an older one without needing to go into terminal and use dpkg? The last bit of friction for my buddy using Linux daily is the way that programs not installed through the software center need to be updated.
Double clicking on the .deb of the new version only gives the option to uninstall, instead of upgrade.
Thanks!

Democracy Matters 
Rabid dictator Viktor Orban blocks vital $54 billion European aid package for Ukraine, a democracy, while Trump sings his praises and they exchange kisses. Trump would "end the war in Ukraine" by giving Ukraine to Putin!
A vote for Trump is a vote for WWIII.

abadideaA few times I have told the anecdote that the singly most baffling thing I ever saw in a code review — not the most insecure, just the most “how could a real programmer have written this? how could this ever make sense?” thing — was simply a C++ variable “number_of_trucks” … declared as float. Unambiguously referring to real physical trucks in a fleet.
Reader, it’s been over ten years and I am blowing the gods damn whistle. I had edited that story to protect the guilty: the variable was named number_of_planes. It was shipped by a company whose name begins with “B” and rhymes with “GOING out of business.”
