Well, same, but I have a bit more linux experience more than macOS, and linux is a lot less stuff than macos. Apple may have plans to implement voice which means it's always on, and it will hear everything, in the future, and linux doesn't plan on that any time soon. And the UI might become so inaccessible if newer versions get this permanent always on voice stuff.

@mckensie I wanna get a macbook at some point, but even if I do that's not gonna mean I get rid of this Windows desktop, I play audiogames and do stuff that's only possible on Windows, and I don't wanna have to only rely on something like Shadow or even virtual machines to do Windows stuff. I can install Jump Desktop and access this desktop from other devices when needed.

Part 1: Oh really, you think you invented the idea of pharmacies? How can you think that you of all people could afford to buy a pharmacy?

Part 2: I know more about muppets, and liking them wrong is an insult to me, personally

Part 3: Stop attacking me! The fact everyone is mercilessly clowning on me must be a conspiracy, and everyone would take me seriously if not for your RUDE responses!

Part 4: People don't give Gul Dukat enough credit for oh shit help I just went too mask off!

A 20-year-old Florida man at the center of a prolific cybercrime group known as “Scattered Spider” was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison today, and ordered to pay roughly $13 million in restitution to victims.

Noah Michael Urban of Palm Coast, Fla. pleaded guilty in April 2025 to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy. Florida prosecutors alleged Urban conspired with others to steal at least $800,000 from five victims via SIM-swapping attacks that diverted their mobile phone calls and text messages to devices controlled by Urban and his co-conspirators.

Reached via Twitter/X, Urban responded from Fla. county jail that the 10 yr sentence was more than prosecutors asked for because the judge was mad that Scattered Spider hacked his court.

A court transcript (PDF) from a status hearing in February 2025 shows Urban was telling the truth about the hacking incident that happened while he was in federal custody. It involved an intrusion into a magistrate judge’s email account, where a copy of Urban’s sealed indictment was stolen. The judge told attorneys for both sides that a co-defendant in the California case was trying to find out about Mr. Urban’s activity in the Florida case.

“What it ultimately turned into a was a big faux pas,” Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger said. “The Court’s password…business is handled by an outside contractor. And somebody called the outside contractor representing Judge Toomey saying, ‘I need a password change.’ And they gave out the password change. That’s how whoever was making the phone call got into the court.”

A Twitter posts from Urban today around the time of his sentencing shows a cat with its back against the wall slumped forward in a dejected splayed pose. The tweet directly before that one just says "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck"

@GossiTheDog There is a technical distinction here: he was in jail (pre-trial detention & short sentences) not prison (post-conviction, long sentences) because he was denied bail, not because he was actually convicted of anything.
As with everything legal in the US, the specifics of what is permitted for defendants vs. what is allowed for convicts varies between states and even between counties in a state.

Timecodes:
00:00 Intro
00:42 Sponsor: TuxCare
01:54 Visual Changes
04:51 Ubuntu-specific changes
09:49 GNOME 47 Changes
14:36 Under the hood
17:28 Parting Thoughts
19:16 Sponsor: Tuxedo Computers
20:14 Support the channel

Visual Changes:
- It's Ubuntu 20th birthday
- Ubuntu anniversary: you get a "20th anniversary" text at boot and on the login screen,
- You get the Ubuntu 4.10 startup sound, you can disable it in the settings
- You get a new "warty" brown accent colour, which I absolutely love because I'm nostalgic of that era of Ubuntu, but other people might find it ugly to the extreme
- You get revamped Ubuntu LTS wallpapers, and 4.10 wallpaper as well, so you can relive these wonderful moments
- I wish they had added the themes from various LTS as well, the 6.06 theme, 8.04 one, and maybe the 10.04 one

Ubuntu specific changes
- Dock: progress bars when a snap is updating in the background, better than having the icon disappear then reappear
- Context menu is improved a bit, with a little header label and an other option: App Details, to open the app's listing in the App Center. Only works for snap apps
- App Center has a new Art and design category, the "featured" snaps section is moved up, in progress downloads are now visible in the "manage" label of the sidebar
- You can also uninstall snaps from that "manage" part of the app, and if you're trying to update an app that's open, you'll see a banner telling you to close that ap to perform the update
- Touchscreen support is improved, but couldn't test that myself
- Security Center: this is a new thing that lets you manage permissions for snap applications. Right now, you can enable an experimental permission that will trigger the new Ubuntu prompting client
- This is your "allow app to do X or Y" kind of thing, where you can set permissions once, always, for any type of file, and the like, and you can then tweak these permissions in the securiyty center
- Think of it as the flatseal / flatpak permissions, but for snaps
- In the future, this thing will also get firewall controls, Ubuntu pro subscription settings, and more

GNOME 47:
- Accent colors plugged into a settings portal, so should work with more apps
- This means the colors that are offered are a bit different than previously
- Dialogs are revamped with split buttons, looks like macOS
- Hardware encoded screen recordings
- Nautilus new sidebar, network emplacements, internal drives in the sidebar now: no more other locations
- Nautilus: used as file picker
- Settings: Activate windws on hover in accessibility, input source previews with keyboard layouts, online accounts are better with MS 365 suporting email calendar and contacts, webdav auto discovers services, and IMPA SMTP also does autocomplete now

Under the hood
- Wayland for everyone, even Nvidia, but X11 is still preinstalled
- Better fingerprint support with a newer version of fprintd and libfprint, but can't test that
- System profiling tools preinstalled, like sysprof, useful for developers to see why their app is underperoforming, or to optimize things
- APT command line tool also was updated to version 3.0, and the terminal UI is much more legible, with colors, padding, line breaks and spacing, so t's way more readable
- Kernel 6.11 with more hardware support and faster ext4 filesystem, Mesa 24.2.3 and Nvidia 550 or 560
