This is the Way.

findmnt --real

Cheers! Apparently Ubuntu uses the relatime setting.

So what are the atime settings in a Linux distribution like Ubuntu?

Edit: explicitly installing 10.1 with

sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

worked.

Thank you for the help!

But I can’t remove wine-staging, at least not via apt:

$ sudo apt remove wine-staging-i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 10.2~focal-2)
                Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So no go there. --fix-broken doesn’t work either:

$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

Any idea on how to remove Wine manually, bypassing apt?

The problem is that the whole apt system seems to be broken. It doesn’t let me install other packages, and I can’t even uninstall wine. So I wonder if any fixes from wine will work. It looks like this needs the user’s manual intervention.

but sudo apt --fix-broken install does not solve anything…

Restored! Maybe worth a post update?

“Ethical and legal objections”. The point in this case is that what’s legal is unethical, and what’s ethical is illegal. Analogous to other situations through history and countries, for example in the USA when it was illegal for black people to sit in certain parts of a bus, or in Germany when marriage with Jewish people was illegal.

As human beings, it’s always important to make the ethical choice.

Cheers! Looks like a great fediverse platform. So sad that the choice of English-speaking servers seems somewhat limited - for now.

What’s Misskey? Never heard of! Time to check.

Cheers! Got a bit clearer now.

Appreciated if someone can explain what is the problem and its context in simple terms 🙏

I understand the GNU “framework” is built on free, open source software. So I don’t understand how one can “discover” that there were pieces of non-free software there… They were put there by mistake?

Just wanted to applaud the fact that you’ve come here asking people, rather than asking some large language model.

Well done! 💪🚀

This reminds me: what kind of Youtube replacement or quasi-replacement in the Fediverse? I’ve heard that Peertube may be difficult to maintain long term, which makes sense…

Agree 110%! It’s sad because it pushes back those people who were curious about alternatives and were willing to try. Hopefully things will improve with time…

I’ve tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it’s people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this “part” of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.

Looks very promising! thank you for sharing. Seems worth trying and supporting.

I didn’t know about !matrix, cheers!!

Which can be further summarized: academics (🙋🏻) are basically a bunch of idiotic sheep, despite being in academia.

Thank you, that’s useful info, I didn’t know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!
