Why You Can't Currently Download Ubuntu 23.10

lemmy.ndlug.org/post/281208

lemmy.ndlug.orgWhy You Can't Currently Download Ubuntu 23.10 - NDLUG> If you’re confused why you can’t currently download Ubuntu 23.10 despite the fact it’s been released (and blogs like mine are telling you it’s out) there is a reason. > [From Twitter]: “We have identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in some of our translations submitted as part of a third party tool outside of the Ubuntu Archive.

In a tweet, Ubuntu explains the situation

but the epic genius elon decided to destroy all brand recognition. Truly incredible thing to witness. Twitter literally got its own branded terms into common lexicon and he just set it all on fire.

Rassilonian Legate

@fadingembers
So the company x social that existed before the muskrat bought twitter then, right?
