@deadheat yeah, it's really not that deep. I did have some ideas and "theories" about why HAL started reporting a malfunction in the first place, and the summary of the novel largely confirmed them to me:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_…
so in the end, I have less questions than I expected, including the last segment of the film

1968 novel by Arthur C. Clarke

The Ubuntu desktop has a vision problem - Ubuntu 20.10 review

Visit linode.com/linuxexperiment for a 100$ credit on your new Linode account!

We're nearing the end of October already, and this means it's time for a new release of Ubuntu 20.10, Groovy Gorilla. There are new desktop features, and new plumbing, as always, but I mostly have some thoughts about the Ubuntu desktop in general. Does 20.10 deserve its name?

The desktop


Ubuntu 20.10 still uses GNOME, and it embarks version 3.38 of the desktop environment.

First, the application grid can now be re-arranged by hand: no more alphabetical sorting, you can put app icons in any order you desire, in the grid, or in the application folders. These now handle pagination if you have more than 9 applications in them, and the grid will scale with the size of your display, so you can see more apps if you have a big screen.

The date indicator now displays your upcoming appointments, which is a feature I've been enjoying in elementary OS, and that really helps with dealing with a crowded agenda.
You also get a microphone indicator when recording audio, or doing a conference call, and you can mute the mic from that little icon, which is nice.

You can also toggle the battery percentage in the battery settings, and that's the result of an initiative to bring the GNOME tweaks settings back into the main GNOME settings, so we'll have to see where it goes next.

Finally, you also get an option to reboot, directly from the power menu.

Ubuntu 20.10 also benefits from improved fingerprint support and login, thanks to a new GUI, that I unfortunately can't test, as the fingerprint reader in my keyboard, or may laptop aren't supported.

Users of an ethernet connection will also be able to share it through their wifi card, thanks a new hotspot that you can just scan from a mobile device to connect to.

Apps


The application selection in Ubuntu 20.10 is unchanged, with Firefox as the web browser, LibreOffice as the office suite, and Thunderbird as the mail client.

All these apps gain something interesting, though, as LibreOffice now has an icon theme taht actually integrates with Ubuntu, based on Yaru, and it looks pretty good in both light mode and dark mode.

Thunderbird benefits from a calendar plugin by default, which means that it's finally a complete solution out of the box, even though I would have preferred they went with Geary and the GNOME calendar instead, as Thunderbird still looks really out of place in my opinion.

Firefox gains better touchpad scrolling on laptops, with smoother pixel per pixel navigation. The improvement is really noticeable, and makes a huge difference in how the browser feels when used on a laptop.

Finally, the screenshot tool also gains a new look, but its feature set remains unchanged.

Ubuntu 20.10 packs the Linux kernel version 5.8, so it's only one version behind the latest one out there, and should get as much hardware support as possible here. As always, the nvidia drivers are up to date as well.

Ubuntu 20.10 also suppriots OEM kernels, so manufacturers that want to ship their own kernels with support for their hardware can do so. It's an important feature, since Linux has been popping up on multiple big name hardware manufacturers like Lenovo and Dell.

In terms of hardware support, Ubuntu will now run natively on the raspberry pi 4, which is a huge boon for people who want to use these little boards for small desktop replacements here and there.

Other flavours


Ubuntu Studio 20.10 moved to KDE as its default desktop, instead of XFCE, which should give it a more interesting look and feel out of the box, and sees the return of the Jack Mixer.

Kubuntu 20.10 ships with Plasma 5.19, since 5.20 released a bit too late to be integrated, which is a shame. It uses the KDE apps 20.08.1, and uses Firefox 81 as its main browser, and LibreOffice as its office suite. All KDE4 and QT4 libraries and apps have been removed from the archives, and a plasma wayland session in installable, but still not supported officially.

Ubuntu Budgie can now allow you to search for the various GNOME settings panels, they have a new optional applet to have the menu as an app grid, and they're using the Mojave icon theme, which looks kinda mac-like. The team has actually helped in fixing a bunch of bugs and paper cuts, and the list if pretty long, you'll find a link in the description below.

Typical TERF, Coe doesn't understand the science and wants to interpret it his own way.

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990

World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Any physicists or EEs here? I have a question:

Suppose I use material deposition to make an electrolytic capacitor with 1 million series cells, but it's 1cm from anode to cathode. Assume each pocket of electrolyte is isolated and there are no material defects.

What is the breakdown voltage of that capacitor and why?

ChatGPT says: 100kv - 1Mv (and that's what I'm coming up with as well)

But how does something 1cm wide block even 100kv, let alone 1Mv - especially something that's half metal and half water?!

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a previously undocumented Linux backdoor dubbed Plague that has managed to evade detection for a year.

Any mention I have seen of a "power couple" is always catering to the ego of women. No man cares about power couples, because they are not looking for a woman who is chasing some high flying career.

It only seeks to validate the feminist idea that a women should be celebrated for chasing careers, and that they should be rewarded for keeping their hypergamy even when it is unnecessary. A family can be supported fully with one high flying career. Two of them just means more money than needed.

I find myself blocking and muting more and more #liberal voices here on the #fediverse lately. Not because I'm secretly turning conservative (I'm progressive), but because their arguments are getting old and tired.

US President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil, which are set to go into effect on Wednesday, August 6, are “unacceptable blackmail,” says Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The Trump administration cited Brazil’s prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro as a significant reason for the proposed tariffs. In response, Lula said on X that Brazil is “a sovereign country with independent institutions and will not accept any tutelage.”

Thanks for the video. This guy has a lot more discoveries ahead of him, and he and his followers are on the right track.
I myself have spoken with people who lived under Stalin. Ordinary workers and peasants adored Stalin, the father of the people, because his rule had changed the lives of ordinary people so dramatically. But bureaucrats were afraid, especially when corruption arose somewhere.
