You can have your drugs, or you can have Koffing blowing smoke. Make your choice, but choose wisely.

"Rapist demands freedom for other rapists." What a delightful timeline. sigh

ownership of businesses exceeding a certain value should be made public.

That just means that businesses aproaching that value get split into two, with the same owners, via the same sorts of shells and offshore trusts.

I'm using the unimaginatively titled "Barcode Scanner". Code is here. It's installable from f-droid.

You can scan with the camera or share an image to it.

The problem is that those issues have, and continue to, cause damage to the Linux project. Good maintainers have been hounded out, or simply given up, and bad blood exists where it absolutely shouldn't. You're right that much of it is political, although that usually stems from deep technical differences backed up by corporate encouragement. Political turmoil can be as damaging, if not moreso, than technical differences. At least technical differences can usually be resolved technically, politics is infinitely more nuanced.

From Marcan's description, the way certain people treated him was absolutely unacceptable, although I've no doubt they'd describe things very differently. I hope the whole kernel team, maintainers and contributers, can find a way to work through these differences and work more harmoniously before more members end up burnt out, frustrated and bitter.

If they've got the machinery to tow your machinery then definitely don't risk it. At this point you can do more good if you're out of gaol and not destitute. Mind you, if you can get ner their vehicles unnoticed, a squirt of milk in the vent air intakes could provide delayed revenge when it goes off.

An UPDATE without a WHERE clause that doesn't get noticed for a week or two. Your data's hosed and you can't really cope with reverting to your last known good backup. Bonus points if you haven't tested your recovery procedures recently. Then he runs around screeching about how the data is obviously fraudulent and he's a genius for finding it.

Fair point, so maybe take a view on whether they've turned up with heavy machinery or just kidnap cars. In the OP's case they don't have time to prep, so they're going to have to play things as they are. If you're in a situation like this and do have time, you could find better ways to be able to blockade the road as needed. The blockage doesn't need to last very long, even delaying their entry by minutes might give more people time to escape. Blocking their way out slows this operation and the next one. Once people know they're in the area they lose the element of surprise.

It's a real shame when that happens. It'd be terribly unfortunate if they accidentally dropped a few rolls of barbed wire that they were transporting, and they sprang open and got tangled all over the road and verge.

Oops, your tractor, or other large machinery just broke down at the narrowest part of the road. It's unfortunate that it'll take days, maybe weeks to fix, and noone can drive past in the interim.

If they can't get their vehicles in, out back out, they'll struggle to operate.

Yeah, I don't think he gets a pass by blaming his behaviour on mental health issues, but a lot of people bring it up. I watch people like him, and I'm fairly convinced they don't have the principals to actually, deep down, be Nazis, they're too vain, too self-centred and too desperate for power of any sort. That doesn't mean they won't fly that particular flag if they think it'll bring them what they want, or that they wont cheer on the harm it brings to others if they think it gets them closer to power. Functionally, you can treat them as Nazis, traitors and whatever else they align themselves with. With luck they will reap the consequences of that.

Could I offer an alternative viewpoint? I don't know if it's true, and if it is I don't know if it's better or worse. His style of 'music' holds no interest for me, and I know nothing more than what I have read about him, so I could be wildly off base.

As many have pointed out, he might well have a mental health issue, but is it not also possible that he is, and always has been, just totally amoral and has seen which way the wind is blowing? He seems to have sonewhat list relevance recently, and fixating on, and loudly proclaiming your hatred of, a chosen 'other' group may seem like a good way to get back into the centre of attention and curry favour with those in power.

I don't think that would be any better than him being a dyed-in-the-wool Nazi, as functionally it means he is one, but might explain a rapid appearance his Nazism.

I started reading that from the top and got increasingly angry on the way down. That creature is a monster.

Lies! Look at the picture, they've managed to pick up sone coke. It's a matter of quantity rather than ability.

If they're lieing to us about that, what else are they lieing to us about?

Wake up sheeple etc...

In the play store, don't forget to flag it as innapropriate.

So their standard hourly rate is $100, but for $75 more they'll teach you how to do it? That might not be a bad deal, depending on the task, and how frequently you'll need to do it in future. Even if you had to go to the super delux "do it while I watch" option to really get to grips with it, it might be worth it.

It just occured to me that if you want to use Ubuntu without snap, you could uninstall the snap package itself (I'm not on Ubuntu, so you might need to find it), then put a 'hold' on the package to prevent it being reinstalled. That should, in turn, prevent any package versions that use snap from being installed.

Initially uninstalling snap might require removing any packages that use it, but that'll tell you what you need non-snap versions of.

I suspect that what's happened is you installed the apt version, then at some point upgraded it and there was a version in the main repo that had a higher version number and installed the snap version. If two repositories both have a package with the same name, and no other rules in place, the higher version number wins.

If that is the case, you need to pin the firefox package to the mozilla repository. You can find more details here: https://wiki.debian.org/AptConfiguration

Wire you being so negative? The current joke got me amped up.
