I even have a Latitude running with the Linux-libre kernel 👍

They've been in prison until this point. That's nearly two years in prison without having been found guilty in a trial. The maximum is supposed to be six months.

Elbit Systems have a weapons factory, also in Bristol, which was the site of a break-in by direct action activists who found quadcopter drones used to drop grenades on people in Gaza. The activists were imprisoned without trial.

Direct action like that in the video risks huge personal sacrifice.

This is very welcome for sure. But if Labour are serious about protecting wildlife they need to tell us what their plan is to fully decarbonise or most of it is going to die anyway.

The economy would be so wrecked under Reform that I'm not sure any foreign workers would even want to come and work here.

 

Is there still music and singing at school assemblies?

As a kid I went to a CoE primary school and they used to play classical music as we walked into assembly and we used to sing hymns (a lot of which early on were more like groovy nursery rhymes). Regardless of the religious content of the lyrics, looking back I think that it was actually very cool to have uncritical communal listening and singing.

Is that still a thing?

Not sure about obliteration. Elimination maybe.

Pro tip: you can buy one coffee from starbucks to get the takeaway cup, then make all subsequent coffees yourself for no more than 1/18 of the price, put them in the cup and then walk around outside looking like the sort of person who has a Macbook in their rucksack.

Yeah, we hold the media to higher standards than they hold themselves to. The modern right has recognised that, deliberately inserted itself into that gap, and is owning it.

The only liberal solution is for everyone to upgrade their critical thinking. The cultural shift towards cynicism is a version/manifestation of that.

It's because it's expected of them and is therefore not sensational. They (or the people advising and funding them) are blatantly copying the American right. They are wannabes of a malign foreign political project, and their party is packed to the gills with sex offenders and scammers desperate for attention.

He is right.

A tiny bit of that 3% is me. I've always been vegetarian but have now given up dairy 💪

I don't see how that headline works for any of the parties involved.

 

I would Imagine that when you are privy to secrets which become increasingly valuable, you also draw some heat on yourself.

What are your thoughts?

 

Just been trying out using guix as a package manager on Debian and have a question: I've been able to install and run GIMP using Guix but it isn't picking up my plugins. Why is this, and what would I need to do to make them work?

 

What are my options for getting alerts on my android phone if services on my VPS becoming unresponsive?

My first thought is a simple app that periodically pings domains and gives a notification if any fail. Is there an open source app for that?

Or something else?

 

I'm trying to connect my Linux laptop to the network at my workplace so I can share files with colleagues, but it's not clear how to do it.

I can plug in the Ethernet cable and get a connection to public internet but cannot see any storage drives on the local network.

What should I do?

Debian 13, GNOME 43.

 

I'm suddenly unable to get audio for video files, but only for one user and seemingly only with pipewire.... It's the same in all video players I've tried, flatpak and deb.

If I log in as a different user everything is fine. And if I change the audio to alsa in mpv I get audio again there. Music files are unaffected.

I don't know if a permissions issue has arisen somewhere, another application is 'hogging' pipewire, or something else.

Any help much appreciated!

Debian 13, GNOME 48, Wayland

 

What's the correct process to install and run a .py application and its dependencies? Where should I save the .py file, where should I run it from, and can it interfere with the rest of my system?

Often there is an application/script I'd like to use and it is provided as a .py file download, along with a list of other applications/scripts that need to be installed separately for it to work. Often not all of these dependencies are available in my distro's repository. There seems to be an assumption of prior knowledge as to how to get set up to run .py files, and it is therefore not documented on developers pages. Can anyone fill me in?

I'd like to install this application. Perhaps it could be used as an example to help explain the process.

My distro is Debian 13, in case that's relevant.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can set a keyboard shortcut to open a selected file in a particular application? For example, how can I have .html files set to open in a text editor by default, but set a keyboard shortcut to open one in Firefox if it's selected?

I'm using the Nautilus file manager in GNOME 48 on Debian 13

 

Does anyone know of a desktop client app for Linux which allows for easily switching between accounts?

 

Does anyone here have any firsthand experience of the pros & cons of home schooling? Whether as a parent, child or friend/family member/neighbour?
