If Microsoft are worried about Linux now, imagine what they’ll feel once it activates!
It adds you to the wheel group - in real life
I remember when I was added to the wheel group. The change was immediate. It was small things at first: a nod from a cyclist, an apple falling off a tree, the quickening of a hula hoop. But then it got more intense. Bikers would show up outside my house at all hours asking for small change. Beach balls kept ending up on my lawn. Someone defecated perfectly spherically on my doorstep. Friends started noticing my midriff, and made comments about the equator. I finally caved in and bought a camera, only to notice that it too was round. I reached my limit when Da Vinci’s virtuvian man would roll by in my dreams and I would awake screaming. I moved myself directly onto sudoers and haven’t looked back since.
There’s a series of novels kinda based around that idea. Magic 2.0 is the name of the series. Basically various hackers from different time periods discover a file that controls the whole universe and learn how to edit it with code/macros and become wizards because of it
Enable ESM Apps to receive additional future security updates. See https://ubuntu.com/esm or run: sudo pro statusWe don’t talk about Ubuntu here. He’s the black sheep of the family.
There’s a whole flock of 'em!
Same with Proxmox. It’ll yell at you that you don’t have an enterprise subscription every time you go on the web ui
That doesn’t withhold any features though. That’s just for supporting Ubuntu teams work with extra security patches. You can also get it for free for 5 machines.
Neither does Windows these days. You get the annoying message in the bottom right, but that’s not hard to get rid of with a few tweaks.
Ahh, last time I used a non activated install I thought there were admin and personalization resections, but I guess those can be worked around by now.
I think Microsoft saw how pointless their efforts were and dropped it. I think they may still lock your desktop background?
It’s so easy to set up vlmcsd that I don’t even leave temporary virtual machine unregistered, but last time I used a pirated copy on another person’s laptop I had no idea until I noticed the text in the bottom right. Even stuff like backgrounds are easy to change by just downloading third party background software, like back in the good ol’ Windows 7 days.
