The touch screen in my 2013 laptop has been working fine since… 2013, running only Debian and Debian-derivatives.

What’s the difference?

Maybe im wrong

Correct.

Some similarities but the main difference in my eyes is that Linus doesn’t have a permanent victim complex.

Unsurprising. You don’t have to follow Hector Martin on social media for very long to learn that he’s a petulant, indignant, self-righteous drama queen.

The Telegraph is right wing propaganda, not news.

It will be the worst movie you’ve ever seen and you can watch it on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/vroombodtoom

Forget about Gen-Whatever the fuck, just join in with communities and post and comment about things you’re interested in.

This whole concept of named “generations” is just to divide us so we forget who is really causing the problems in society.

Future historians will not be referring to this period as the “intelligent age.”

Instead of making a unilateral decision on behalf of all of the members of this community without any kind of consultation, why don’t you move to L.W and allow people who do want to be here, who do want to be subject to the moderation rules of this instance, to step in and take the reins?

I say unlock the community and appoint a new mod team. Who said you could just close the whole community, just because you’ve volunteered to take out the trash?

how do you know they are safe? who is auditing the binaries?

Friendica as a Facebook replacement.

And if you’re able and have transport, support your local businesses by buying products locally (especially independently owned stores), instead of ordering from Amazon.

If you have a Facebook, X or Amazon account, I hope you can find it in your heart to switch to one of their competitors. It’s worth a try.

“Suspected” people smugglers? So they’re guilty until proven innocent?

If they’re suspected of people smuggling then they should be investigated, and if there’s evidence they should be charged.

Upon further reading it turns out they are talking about SCPOs (Serious Crime Prevention Orders) which are documented by the CPS here: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/serious-crime-prevention-orders

A Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO) can be made on application by the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Director of the Serious Fraud Office, the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland and the Lord Advocate in Scotland. Applications are made to the Crown Court, if a person has been convicted of a serious offence, or the High Court on standalone application, if the person has been involved in serious crime.

I’ve been typing with 10 fingers for 3 years

That’s 30 finger-years!
