You can change that in system settings on KDE

System settings -> Software Update -> Apply system updates immediately

Not sure if it's the same on GNOME

It's like talking to an American who keeps asserting they don't have an accent. If they don't get it immediately, they're probably not going to.

It only makes sense to you because you're accustomed to it, not because it's innately better at "gauging human comfort". All of us who grew up using metric know how to gauge comfort with Celsius. None of us bother with decimal fractions of a degree because there isn't a big enough difference between degrees to do so, so your argument about granularity falls apart pretty quick there. You lot don't have trouble with miles despite kilometres being more granular do you?

We're in peak season for them in the southern hemisphere, so it's a bit unusual to see them fruiting in the north. But then I don't know the area, maybe some of them just like to fruit in spring there?

It's not just a claim. "Hypersonic" ballistics like the Kinzhal are not real hypersonics. It's just a faster ballistic missile because they launch it from a plane. Being ballistic makes it easy to intercept.

When people talk about hypersonics as a future weapon, they are talking about hypersonic glide vehicles. Not an Iskander strapped to a plane.

An OTA update will require accepting new terms of service, but it’s out of signal range so they can’t submit and the car won’t allow itself to be driven.

They'll definitely know. Microsoft's last update for Windows 10 will make sure to add as many notices, popups and scary alerts as possible.

And as a result plenty will care, particularly those who aren't tech savvy. If you've got relatives for whom you are their go-to IT person, be prepared.

I'd be wary of using a foraging blog as a source of information, there is a lot of misinformation that gets around in foraging communities.

In this case the information is mostly okay, with some caveats. Morels certainly don't fruit exclusively when a tree is dying (this blog doesn't quite assert that, but it does highly emphasise the dying trees part so I can see how you would take that away) and it's important to note that the trees death was caused by a separate parasitic fungi and not the morels. They're fruiting in an attempt to spread their spores before they go down with the ship, so to speak.

Personally I'm a little skeptical about the old timer stories and the conclusion drawn from them, but I live on a different continent with completely different species of fungi so I couldn't say for sure. Over here our most prolific morel seasons are always when the temperature is mild, there have been good rains and the forest is happy and healthy. From an evolutionary perspective, this makes perfect sense. The fungal spores have a much better chance of establishing new colonies when resources are plentiful. A symbiotic mushroom that only fruits when all its symbionts are dying around it is going to be naturally selected out of existence.

Where on earth are you researching to come to that conclusion? Mushrooms overwhelmingly fruit based on climatic conditions. If the weather is right, they fruit. And it is well established that mycorrhizal fungi are good for the trees and other plants they have symbiotic relationships with, which is why fungal inoculation is becoming increasingly popular. It's also why they are called symbiotic, and not parasitic.
