This is honestly why anyone and everyone should invest in at least a small UPS that can keep your PC powered for at least five minutes so in this kind of scenario you can cancel the update, shut down safely, and resume when the power is back.

Error: Problem: cannot install both at-spi2-core-2.50.1-1.fc39.x86_64 from updates and at-spi2-core-2.50.0-1.fc39.x86_64 from fedora

• conflicting requests (try to add ‘–allowerasing’ to command line to replace conflicting packages or ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)

Not OP, but this looks like the error message.

Edit: removed, let me know if you can see it now.

Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,

That every night turns out to be

A little more like Bukowski.

And yeah, I know he’s a pretty good read.

But God who’d want to be?

God who’d want to be such an asshole?

A long screed but has this jackhole who writes so unprofessionally even reached out to Mullvad for comment or explanation? Because that’s usually what respectable journalistic outfits do.

They don’t post some screenshots, make inferences without knowing all of Mullvad’s backend, and say “what we are saying is definitely true and there’s no possible way we could technically be wrong.”

I can think of several ways they could be wrong, it would have been helpful to have any statement from Mullvad, because they might have a technical reason for this (up to and including making sure their emails aren’t disappeared as spam, because running your own email server sucks.).

Anyway, pretty unprofessional and makes me pretty skeptical of the claims until more solid evidence than a screenshot surface.

For example, who is to say that Mullvad hasn’t set up their own client side encryption keys? This is an option Google offers for use with business accounts. This effectively means Google doesn’t have your keys nor can read your emails.

It took me five seconds of searching to find this. Did the guy who wrote this article even try?
