  • Fedora seems favourite as you've used it. There's a new version due toward the end of March so you may want to hang on, to avoid legacy stuff being upgraded. Maybe they'll remove the x11 drivers. Fedora has changed a lot but you'll want to install the other repos first thing and there's also a large move towards flatpak (which works very well).

    There's also the inst.sdboot install flag to avoid the legacy grub install.

    I don't find the install very easy to understand, compared to things like Debian but it's worth the fiddle.

    ArchLinux is the other alternative.

  • "Your" content? I seem to remember that everything you post is their (meta's) content.

    Why would they delete their own content?

  • [ Suddenly the whole of London's property market crashes as tens of thousands of houses owned by faceless corporations owned by charities suddenly appear on the market at fractions of their values just before it is announced. ]

  • I don't seem to have a political creed anymore.

    I believe in honesty and being honourable.

  • Do it as two separate commands to learn which is causing you the issues.

    Is debootstrap the latest and greatest? It's on Fedora so you can't always guarantee it's up-to-date wrt Debian.

    Curiously enough I tried to use the rpm/dnf packages on ArchLinux, to create a new Fedora with Ansible, with less than stellar results. It happens that way sometimes.

  • Tbh. It's the same in the UK. Our governments, of both sides, are killing any perception of privacy we had and no-one is doing/saying anything.

    Having said that people are mostly dealing with the terrorist inspired killings here that the are allied to the immigration issue.

    The people have had enough, the governments of the last twenty years have been obvious or more likely not looking (at the disquiet).

    There isn't enough room to think of the loss of privacy/security yet. We are in a hell of a mess.

    1. Where are the little children pieces and the clergy that are sooooo attached to them?
    2. I guess the bishop pieces can disappear and reappear, when they are in danger of being captured, on different boards randomly.
  • You've got concepts confused.

    Having the judge make the inquisition has nothing to do with adversarial.

    The judges in the UK and US are independent of the inquisition etc. The prosecution is responsible for obtaining evidence on behalf of the state. The defense defend their client with their evidence.

    In Europe, I know a little more about France and Austria, the judges are trained to be inquisitorial and direct the inquisition for evidence. I should shut up at this point and let someone who actually knows what they are talking about continue for me.

    As for adversarial, still waiting for the day that criminals, for the most part, exclaim like the very old British movies and Scooby Doo cartoons that "It's a fair cop, guv!" and then explain why and how they did it.

  • Wot? No pineapple?

  • X11.

    How quaint.

  • Running uBlock-Origin for many years. I gave an example not an instance I use.

  • Seriously, you're complaining now? The privacy apps have been blocking Discord for many years.

  • Turns out we've moved on from not realising that deodorant was required in the first place.
