Comment Post #287862 By "size", do you mean image resolution or file size? If you mean image resolution, there's probably good tools for that. File size might be trickier, though I don't know for sure. I think you mean file size.

Comment Post #284141 I don't think this will work. If your system is 32-bit, enabling 64-bit packages and installing them will likely result in a lot of failures since a 32-bit OS can't run 64-bit software, even if the 32-bit OS is running on a 64-bit CPU. There are some situations where this kind of thing would work, bu...

Comment Post #287138 Should I add any legal notice about licensing or whatever to the Codidact version of the phased updates Q&A?

Comment Post #287138 OK that feature is awesome. Having outdated content is always a pain - in fact me and the Ubuntu Community Team are struggling with this very same problem with the official Ubuntu Wiki and are working towards rectifying it (though enough else has been going on that the Wiki fixing job kinda got left ...

Answer A: How can we grow this community?
Firstly, as an official Ubuntu Member who frequents the tech support IRC channels, I think I can help with getting more activity here. One of the most recent "whoa what happened here" events in the Ubuntu world, phased updates, may be a great boon here, since I wrote a thorough answer as to what p...

Comment Post #285830 "${FormerName}LeftSEForCodidact" - I literally did just this. (Just learned about The Mess earlier tonight, three years later and that nuclear meltdown they triggered still hasn't stopped throwing radiation, if my level of fury at SE and the fact that I'm here now is any indicator.)
