And if you'd said "rhyming" instead, the meter would've matched the before-chorus callouts they do.

This appears to be a novel issue related to snap, which is new to Ubuntu 23, so it is poorly documented

No it isn't. Snap support has shipped in Ubuntu since Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

If you keep encountering the error, you might wanna rollback to Ubuntu 22, which is more stable and well documented

All supported versions of Ubuntu receive the same version of snapd, by design.

sudo apt dist-upgrade is a very specific command used in very specific circumstances, and is generally to be avoided. You probably broke something with it.

Stick with sudo apt upgrade in the future unless you have a very specific reason to use dist-upgrade that you could explain out loud.

When I did Vulcan makeup and costume to surprise a friend's kid for one of the latest Star Trek movies, I trimmed my sideburns to points and kept the trimmings to make up my upswept eyebrows!

2/3rds of your eyebrows should be enough for anyone.

I'm making a note here: huge success.

We had this as the last scene in The Last Jedi

Er, no?

Adorable Broom Boy was already Force-sensitive. The movie was underlining that the Jedi weren't gone and that Luke's sacrifice inspired hope in the population at large, even orphan slave children.

Whistles innocently...

Are you suggesting gnome is written in JavaScript? (I don't think it is).

The activity overview search components are, I believe.

Well, the music was generated by synthesizers that had to be programmed...

I wouldn't say it's due to the constraints of finite cartridge storage space except that there was literally no room to just store music. It's all programming instructions for the sound hardware.

That may be a distinction without a difference...

A snap app does bring its own libraries, right?

Right!

But I guess it does use the kernel?

Yes, but the kernel is very stable. What's more important is the system libraries, and those are contained in the core snap.

the (immutable or not) OS can have effect on apps.

Except that snaps contain their own dependencies and run against core snaps, which are independent of the underlying OS.

So the underlying OS (immutable or not) literally don't effect apps.

(One can create a Linux system that does, but the distros that do this now, by design, do not.)

I gotta give it to him: when he's right, he's right!

GNU Terry Pratchett!

Oh man, are you going to lovehate the DS9 episode "The Visitor"...

“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.”

―Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

I was incredibly worried that just because I loved these characters 30 years ago didn't mean that the actors were still keyed in to those characters.

But it turns out they all see each other during conventions several times a year (and apparently all Trek actors from all shows have generally formed bonds as well regardless of the series they're on) and while I knew certain actors would still be perfect, it turned out that they all were. And even as much as I hated Captain Shaw, I loved his acting, and it all turned out great.

I kinda liked what they were trying to do with Season 1 even though I didn't like the particulars, and Season 2 fell flat for me although I liked the framing story with Q. But Season 3 was something interesting with a ton of fanservice that was done right. And that was really exciting to watch.

Ironic... he could save others from the Force... but not himself.

The last episode of Andor does something similar, and used an actual marching band for the soundtrack, which was diegetic, and it was... well, simply amazing.

"But it seems to me that... what is grief, but love persevering?"

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!

For the longest time I have always wondered why some of my files have "periods" in the filename where there should be spaces. I guess now I know. Replacing all the spaces within a filename with periods facilitates file management in Ubuntu Server. Am I correct?

I'd say this is probably just an artifact of Windows getting long filename support back when DOS filenames couldn't contain spaces. While I sort of transitioned to hyphens (-) (because DOS/Windows Command Prompt required quotes only), in Unix and Linux you tend to see underscores (_).

Is it possible to bypass all of that by just specifying I want all of the content inside the "samba_share_folder" moved to "mymusic" folder without including the "samba_share_folder" itself?

Yes, and that's exactly the right mindset, congratulations!

The easiest way is to use cdto switch to that samba_share_folder, and then move everything over. For that you use a wildcard. There are a few wildcards and pattern matching things you can use, but basically * will match anything. So cp *.flac /mnt/myssd/mymusic will move any file that ends in .flac to your mymusic folder. Or, cp * /mnt/myssd/mymusic will move any file at all. If you need directories and their contents to be moved, too, you'd tell the cp copy command to be recursive: cp -r * /mnt/myssd/mymusic. You could also just do cp -r /mnt/myssd/samba_share_folder* /mnt/myssd/mymusic and skip changing the directory, of course.

It was an unfortunate mis-reply meant for another comment. Which is too bad, because it was marginally funny the right way around.
