wget Removed from Ubuntu Server 25.10 Default Install (And No, It's Not Because of Rust)
Ubuntu Server 25.10 drops wget by default; wcurl takes over.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
Ubuntu has been confusing me lately. They keep making sweeping changes that rework their entire distro away from the common standards. Yet they seem to be doing so based on extremely shallow reasoning? Why streamline? What bug are your trying to resolve? I know it ain't a size problem cause server isos are tiny. Are they bored?
TLDR; Why they streamlining and please tell me they have a default alias for wget to wcurl?

I'm updating satellite numbers for yet another talk.
There now 8,077 Starlink satellites in orbit, 1,240 have already been burned up in the atmosphere, depositing all their metal, plastic, and computer bits in the stratosphere as weird vapour (data from planet4589.org/space/con/conliโฆ)
12,238 active satellites now catalogued. The fraction of Starlinks is actually holding pretty steady lately because so many other operators have started launching. Over 200 satellites launched this month.
It's been 3 days since I put in these numbers and just to make sure I am super angry as I go to bed, I checked again.
There area now 8,093 Starlink satellites in orbit, out of 12,308 total active satellites. 1,243 Starlink satellites have burned up.
As with almost everything else happening, this is so fucking stupid, and I'm going to keep yelling about it. To calm myself down, I'd go outside and look up, but guess what I'd see?

Thank you SO much Conversation! I've been trying to tell people for a number of years now that their worries about a declining birth rate are not well founded.
Fears that falling birth rates in US could lead to population collapse are based on faulty assumptions
"...The population collapse narrative hinges on three key misunderstandings. First, it misrepresents what standard fertility measures tell us about childbearing and makes unrealistic assumptions that fertility rates will follow predictable patterns far into the future. Second, it overstates the impact of low birth rates on future population growth and size. Third, it ignores the role of economic policies and labor market shifts in assessing the impacts of low birth rates..."
I would add to the faulty reasoning:
~ the replacement theory concerning POCs.
~ fear of women in the work force
~ loss of a base for pyramid scheme capitalists
~ environmental stress from loss of habitat to housing, etc.
Fears that falling birth rates in US could lead to population collapse are based on faulty assumptions
While the changes in population structure that accompany low birth rates are real, the impact of these changes has been dramatically overstated.The Conversation

Playing Video Games Has an Unexpected Effect on Kids' IQ, Study Discovers : ScienceAlert
Researchers have linked spending more time playing video games with a boost in intelligence in children, which goes some way to contradicting the narrative that gaming is bad for young minds.David Nield (ScienceAlert)

@Jay Bryant I agree, its not just video games, but games of any sort have this value in maintaining and boosting intelligence, advancing neuron connections, pattern recognition, mathematical prowess etc. Video games add the ability to do so at one's own timing pace when there is no one locally to participate with.
This why games like Scrabble, Chess, etc. are also important learning tools, whether in traditional form or as videogames. The same of course applies to even more complex games and systems in computer games and online games where you have to deal with numerous other factors and adapt and develop strategies on the go due to random things like terrain in movement, resource management etc.

Recent comic: Cutting out the Middleman
I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

This is a view taken from the roadside on my way home from Portree. I do this journey at least twice a week. It never fails to thrill me.
Itโs a view looking towards the coast of Minginish from a point high above the main road between Sligachan and Dunvegan near Struan.
We do this drive of necessity as we need to collect laundry and food several times a week. Portree is the nearest supermarket. This is the shortest route...
