Two questions:

>1)
I want to use LTS but not until 26.04. Until then I want to use 'rolling', 25.10. The reason is I have a laptop and want to use smart charging (cap at 80%). LTS won't have this feature until 26.04, but it's already in 25.x.
So, is it possible to use 25.10 until 26.04, and then when I get there to 'change lanes' and hop over to the LTS lane from the 6-monthly lane?

>2)
I see a lot of people advocating for clean installs every major version, no matter the distro. I don't want to do that, I want to install once and then smoothly upgrade from version to version. Which Ubuntu lane is the best for that? I.e. which lane has the safest most reliable in-place upgrades, the least likely to bork itself in the process;
6-monthly (26.04 -> 26.10 -> 27.04 -> 27.10 -> 28.04 etc)?
Or LTS (26.04 -> 28.04 -> 30.04 etc)?

Yes, you can continuously upgrade ubuntu through every version available, although it's not recommended since it's not really well implemented, the best thing you can do is to use 25.10 until 26 releases and do a clean install, and then stay on the 26.04 version until 28.04.
>I want to install once and then smoothly upgrade from version to version
I'd recommend debian or lmde without extra repos to achieve this, I installed lmde in my parents' laptop like 6 years ago and it continuously kept itself updated since then after enabling automatic updates.
If you want an up to date OS that can be continuously upgraded through versions, I'd recommend fedora with gnome, it's probably the best distro for that purpose and a tad more stable than ubuntu, or at least less retarded error prone than it from my personal experience.

Welcome to the 4chan /g/ Usenet General Thread!

>What is /usenet/?
Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on (http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). Not owned by corpos, not under govt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection. They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyed by all.
Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http, usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards. Join us and discuss such topics on one such protocol:
NNTP, aka usenet.

>WTF IS USENET
Literally it means the Users Network. It’s an open protocol for posting and reading messages, organized by newsgroups. It's entirely decentralized, no single server, impossible to take down.
Today it is split between, binaries and text. The binaries part is what it’s known for today: piracy. The text part is forgotten and abandoned, until now.

>WHY POST ON USENET
It's open protocol, you can use any client you want or build you own. No costs, no subscriptions, no money. You can sign up through your ISP, or through eternal-september.org. Then you just need to install a client.

This started off as a fun group, but it recently devolved into just bitching about 4chan and not much else. Now it's just like a dead altchan where the only thing people talk about is "GRRR AT LEAST WE'RE NOT 4CHAN", then activity dies because they get tired of bitching about the same thing over and over. I know we've got problems here on /g/, but what's the point of ruining a cool group by obsessing over it?

This whole project has from the start been nothing more than the 4chan version of moving to Canada. It was never about going somewhere else to discuss things unmolested, it was always about running away from bad old 4chan - in fact, let's have a long discussion about all of 4chan's problems to the exclusion of anything else. Oh boy do I hate 4chan, wouldn't it be great if everyone left 4chan for the newsgroups? Yeah, let's go get everyone to do that...
And so on. That's why some moron made a thread on /tg/ about this same subject, which attracted zero interest last I checked. I'm all for having somewhere else to go if this place gets shuddered, but for fuck's sake don't make it so obvious that all you want to do is make an altchan.

the problem is more fundamental, who still browses this place? mostly just completely demoralized people and actual npcs. not exactly fertile breeding ground especially not if discussion is carefully guided at first. you need to establish that it won't just be hurr 4chan bad all day but i don't see that working with usenet desu

I know this nuance is completely lost on some of you idiots but being manufactured in China is not what makes something Chinese.

This push mower is made in China. It is made to an exact specification for an American seller, based on an old American mower design; the seller rigorously inspects it for QC to ensure it meets the spec. If you've ever used one, you notice its distinctly American character, made for the sensibilities of a certain kind of American merchant and American consumer. It is heavy, robust, utilitarian-looking, and requires some maintenance by the owner. It is, in almost every sense, an American product. But it is Made in China.

The degree to which a product is Chinese is the degree to which it embodies a Chinese sensibility because of the Chinese involvement in decision-making about the product. This is on a spectrum:

Chinese-designed product for the Chinese market >>> Chinese-designed product for a western market >>> American-designed product with broad leeway for the Chinese manufacturer to implement the design >>> Tightly-specified American design that nonetheless leaves QC/etc to the manufacturer >>> Full tight control of design, materials, QC, etc by a non-Chinese party using a Chinese manufacturer >>> Products designed and manufactured outside of China

These mother fuckers go out of their way to delete old builds, old drivers, old programs. they want older opperating systems GONE from your MIND, it has nothing to do with how much it costs them and all to do with how much they can control you. If you grow up in a windows 11 environment and never know anything else, then you wont complain when it takes2 seconds to right click and you wont care that you had to sign a 1000 page tos to agree to like microsoft ransomware all your files behind bitlocker or onedrive.

Doesn't matter to the governments who undoubtedly passed some stupid law demanding these labels, although if they're doing it for that reason they seriously should be citing the statute in question somewhere so people actually pay attention to who isn't letting them read something.
