Sure. But MInt doesn’t do dist-.upgrade at all. Or it didn’t when I tried some years ago. IDK what the situation is now, but then Mint’s FAQ said you’d have to do a fresh install.

You should be proud of yourself. I’ve never seen dist-upgrade go wrong since woody - and I’ve upgraded quite a few machines. Did you ever bother reading the release notes for a new major version?
Debian has been doing so since forever without breaking. I tried Mint when it was the latest shit on a new laptop and was quite fond of it. Until it was time to update. I chose to upgrade - to plain, old Debian that had been running on my servers, workstations and PCs since 2002 and still does. How a Debian-derived distro could fuck up the one thing that makes Deian stand out -the nearly unbreakable packet management system- still is beyond my understanding.

SIcherheitstheater, das verdeutlichen soll, dass wir uns de facto “im Krieg befinden”. Nichts hält den Untertanen so gut bei der Stange, wie der böse Feind, die ständige Gefahr, vor dem der Staat ihn beschützt. Ganz klar, dass dabei “alle zusammenhalten” (sprich: der Bürger gefälligst das Maul hält) und “alle den Gürtel enger schnallen müssen”.
Wieder einmal vermeidbares Unfallrisiko durch mangelnde Vorsorge. Stützkondome gehören unter jeden Weihnachtsbaum!
Wen gäbe es denn da noch so an “ethnisch-religiösen” Staaten? Die Teilstaaten Ex-Jugoslawiens wären ein eher schlechtes Beispiel. Die sind nämlich als Mehrstaatenlösung das Ergebnis eines ethnischen Konflikts. Man bräuchte da schon etwas mit aktiver Verfolgung von Minderheiten. Türkei aufwärts. Aber da halten “wir” ja ebenfalls offiziell die Klappe, von wegen Verbündete usw.
212·2 months agoUtter bullshit. What does the registration of a US patent have to do with anything? MP3 became part of the (international) MPEG standard in 1992, it was first introduced in 1991 and developed by the Fraunhofer Institut in Germany. The iśsuing date of the US patent is just some buraeucratic detail, it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual development and availability of the standard or the algorithm.
You mean a M575S? Because the 585 is just a common mouse. Finding old (obsolete, abandoned) logos as stickers is really hard. The fact that adhesives don’t last forever and ink of all sorts will fade in sunlight doesn’t help either. You best chance might be to find somebody with screen printing equipment. (Nothing to do with screenshots!) Repair cafes, hacking spaces and the like often have them and many are also offering workshops for very little money. You might even get a small screen printing device (screens, press, roller, paint plus photoreactive paste, more than good enough for stickers) for little money. The printing process for a simple two to four colour logo is ridiculously easy.
Another way is scanning or otherwise acquiring the logos, optionally transforming them to SVG to soften the edges and having a copy shop, repro workshop or print shop print them on adhesive foil. Don’t be too cheap or you’ll end up with stickers that will drastically fade in realtively short time.
