Why do you say Ubuntu is South African, Canonical itself is a British company and I can’t find why reference to how Ubuntu originated?

As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.

Possibly because it’s presented how news used to be - a simple statement of fact without embellishment or click bait.

Would you rather:

You won’t BELIEVE how this weapon built by British boffins can yeet hundreds of Russian drones from the sky in seconds

Even that’s more steps than necessary.

Just serve your website with Caddy and it handles certs for you. The config is absolutely trivial compared to Apache, nginx, etc

If you’re truly unaware of why TLS is necessary or how to automate the process then you should probably retire.

Archaic attitudes like yours are precisely why these restrictions are necessary.

Labour aren’t smart though. They believe FPTP gives them an advantage and thus we’re destined to misery under the conservatives as soon as the party gathers together the resources to bribe farage into disbanding reform

That’s honestly fine. Everybody deserves fair representation.

If we’d had PR a decade ago and the disenfranchised had had a voice in parliament then perhaps we never would have been dragged out of the EU.

Boost has user tagging as well.

Only issue is the tag and report dialogs look exactly alike and multiple times I’ve unknowingly clicked report in error. I’m kinda surprised I never got criticised for abusing the report function when all I’ve written is “pro-russia” or “idiot”

Perhaps it wasn’t true the books then, but movie Snape was a believable age to have been at school at the same time as Harry’s parents. It’s just for whatever reason the author made the parents ridiculously young

Alan Rickman was the absolute perfect casting for Snape. Nobody else could have brought him to life so well and so true to the books.

Of the entire film cast I think everyone could have been replaced except for Snape, therefore it does make sense to be bold and try something different in his casting for the new show.

Indeed.

For many of us Harry Potter was a significant part of our childhoods. It’s a great story with a satisfying ending. There was incredible excitement for each book, and the films weren’t bad either.

The world is already miserable enough I’m not willing to expunge something that has brought me joy.

We absolutely should denounce JK Rowling and her abhorrent statements. I have no idea why people continue to give her a platform. She’s one of the names on my filter list because I refuse to let her vile thoughts be given any of my attention.

I suspected that to be the case but left it somewhat open for the user to provide a source

I think that’s because instance admins are very hands on and take action to remove questionable content.

What the absolute fuck. That’s insane if true.

With the nature of federation that then must cause issues for admin of other instances who end up federating that content.

We do have alternatives to vaccines though:

You simply ban abortion and sex education which increases the birth rate and therefore it doesn’t matter that a few babies die from preventable illnesses.

And it sounds like somebody on the kernel team reverse engineered the internals of bit keeper so they would have a clear understanding of precisely how it worked - but more importantly the ways that it didn’t suit their workflow

Fireworks had so much potential as a web design app and they threw it away.

Illustrator and InDesign were too focused on print media and Photoshop could barely comprehend anything unless it was rasterized.

That’s not semantic versioning…

I highly recommend everyone read Invisible Women. It’s full of interesting anecdotes like you’ve just identified.

Modern smartphones are too big for women’s pockets and too big for their average hand size so as a result women are far more likely to drop phones and incur unnecessary expense of replacing them. Our world is simply designed around a male default and apparently we just accept that.

Nano is fine. But Micro is a worthwhile upgrade: https://micro-editor.github.io/
