In 1980, Stallman and some other hackers at the AI Lab were refused access to the source code for the software of a newly installed laser printer, the Xerox 9700. Stallman had modified the software for the Lab’s previous laser printer (the XGP, Xerographic Printer), so it electronically messaged a user when the person’s job was printed, and would message all logged-in users waiting for print jobs if the printer was jammed. Not being able to add these features to the new printer was a major inconvenience, as the printer was on a different floor from most of the users. This experience convinced Stallman of people’s need to be able to freely modify the software they use.
Gotcha. I dont forsee a problem since my current 3.5 version is probably older than the version on the beta-candidate channel as long as it doesn’t auto-update when I boot it up next.
I haven’t touched my steam deck in a month or 2. Is there a process for switching back? Just ignore the pending update, switch the channel, then check for updates again?
