Good. He deserves to be banned

TIL, and thank you for allowing me to avoid googling that

It’s a real word. And used correctly in context so unlikely to be a typo.

Acronyms were very rare prior to about mid 20thC.

A number of words sound like they should be an acronym or people searching for an explanation of them make backronyms out of them.

Posh and rap being turned into acronyms as per the first like are good examples of a backronym.

Insert surprised pickachu face here

Well that’s out of character for Google

Yep this is exactly why I refuse to do the scan as you go, it ends up seriously frustrating. Self scan at checkout is fine if you don’t have paracetamol or alcohol, otherwise you’re waiting ages for assistance.

It’s definitely an overall worse experience

Mullvad works fine on both LMDE and stock mint fwiw

Thank you

What repository do you have added, there’s only fdroid and guardian in the stock fdroid settings (and eternity doesn’t come up)

Although wikipedia has that as the origin several other internet sources suggested a pagan pre christian origin

Noting that these are not proper sources although mental floss links to a text that may be reliable

Which one though ? There’s literally 4 forks of infinity called Eternity coming up on obtainium

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it’s not good I’m afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.

True we say 15th September, not 15 September

Ubuntu is derived from Debian.

In linux there are 3 “popular” parent trees (plus a couple more obscure ones)

Debian tree, RedHat tree and Arch tree.

Debian is “parent” to Ubuntu is parent to Mint (standard versions)

LMDE applies Cinnamon and Mint tools to Debian.

I would like to point the RWNJs finally got voted out in Oz last year (federal and most states). Of course Murdoch and co. are working hard to reverse that, but semi sane leadership is in place for at least a year or two more.

I would have thought finding Hitler unlikeable would be a positive attribute ? Was that a typo ?

Orwell was a socialist so making lists of leftists seems surprising; are you sure this wasn’t an ideological tankies vs socialists or marxists vs trotskyists ?

Think Gaetz & Marjorie Taylor Greene. That’s pretty much our entire government now all the sensible people have been drummed out.

Don’t let logic or facts get in the way of a good grandstanding.

They didnt know it wasn’t going to work because they refuaed to listen to anyone trying to tell them it wouldn’t work

As no seems to have answered this, the EU’s political structure is more resistant to the anti-consumer desires of large corporates, particularly as the ones impacted aren’t European.

Culturally the EU is diverse but broadly there is a lot more interest in / support for nurturing the common good (as opposed to beggar thy neighbour policies of the GOP). In particular pro-consumer policies are popular and get politicians re-elected, which segues to the next difference

The EU is less influenced (not zero, less) by political donations from large corporates than the US. Very little of the priorities of the average person makes it into law in the US, a slightly larger sliver gets through in the EU.

All of the ICE have this too. It’s not just EVs.

Thanks for that - there’s a bug (?I assume?) in Jerboah that doesn’t allow zooming pics so that tiny font for ants was unreadable. Well hopefully they don’t delay on the implementation

Had a trawl through MoG (which I normally avoid like the plague because, as per post I really don’t wish to interact with tankies, even second hand) and can’t find it.

Oh well, whatevs, hope you’re right
