All of this also applies to women saying horrible things being called out by other women who they respect / think are part of their social group.
And only to men, because of course there aren't any women who hate on trans people!
Yeah good point, it was more than just twitter.
YouTube definitely know they have an issue and don't care, or they would do something about it. Radicalising people with extreme content increases engagement which makes them money, the only thing that will make them change it is regulation (with teeth).
The mad thing about the result is that the Dems spent so much more money and still lost. Not that you can easily quantify the financial value of changing the algorithm on twitter to favour Trump.
I don't like musicals but this film is amazing, truly one of a kind. Absolutely worth watching!
To ship it they have to work out how to build that version themselves from source though - that's their whole thing. It's not like a normal app store where they take pre-built binaries from the developer.
That's a strong wrist. Too much self-pleasure!

I'm amazed he has lasted this long, is he at least storing things in a larder / cool room?
You might not know this person for very long
Yep, we have the same system in the UK. In fact, the envelope looks almost exactly the same so they might even be printed by the same company.
You get two envelopes (one big, one small), a postal voting statement, and a ballot paper.
The actual ballot paper just has a list of options for you to put your X against; there's no personally identifiable information on it. Once you've filled it out you seal it in the small envelope.
You then fill in the voting statement (it has your name and address on it so they can cross your name off as voted, and you sign it so they can check your signature matches the one on file) and both that and the sealed ballot go in the big envelope. That way your vote is still private because they check the vote is valid in one step and then add your ballot to a pile to be counted with the others in a second step, at which point it's anonymous.

A... slab? Of wine?
Is that a whole pallet or something?
Was it that the PDF produced by latex was less OCR friendly than the word one, or just that you didn't submit the PDF at all most of the time?
I guess if you trained a program to OCR PDFs that are produced by word it might get really good at that and less good at PDFs from other sources.
I'm curious if your CV font was computer modern?
People are mostly talking about what a bunch of idiots they are though.
This lot look like they were cast by the daily mail, they couldn't be more of a caricature. It is absolutely not effective communication.
Does anyone else live in a safe seat that may flip during this election? Looking at the latest Survation poll, which predicts Labour will win 484 seats (vs 64 to the Tories and 61 to Lib Dems), I can't believe how tight some of the results are projected to be in what have previously been very safe Tory seats as far back as I remember.
https://www.survation.com/survation-mrp-labour-99-certain-to-win-more-seats-than-in-1997/
I've lived in some of these seats and always voted but without any real hope of flipping it. For them to turn red would be a huge change.
One seat, North East Hampshire, was the safest Tory seat in 2015 (by numbers and by %) but this election the projection is Lab: 24.2%, Con: 32.2%, Lib Dem: 29.3%.
Results night could be very interesting!
If anyone has any good tips on beating the midges, please share them!
I got absolutely devoured this weekend up by Loch Latrine (edit: Katrine) (completely forgot it was midge season, so I was unprepared).
I've ordered myself some parts to build a PC for Linux gaming. In the meantime, i'm deciding on which linux distro to use.
For the desktop environment I typically use KDE.
I have used Ubuntu in the past but i'm ruling it out because of snaps and other such annoyances. This also applies to Ubuntu based distros that use the same repos (KDE Neon etc).
I see the wikis recommend Nobara, but I'm reluctant to use a Fedora based distro because I'm so used to Debian/apt (both as a desktop and server distros). I'm not ruling it out completely though.
Any reason why I shouldn't just go with Debian + KDE and install Steam? Will I be missing out on lots of performance improvements or is this easily addressed by using an additional repo for a tweaked kernel and proton version or whatever?
I'm working on a build list for a Linux gaming rig. It's my first build so I'd welcome any comments or tips!
I'm mostly looking to run games like the Total War series. I'm not obsessed with getting peak performance, I'm angling more for a reasonable value mid-range build.
Linux support is essential, I won't buy any Nvidia products.

Discovered this one today when looking for an image editing app for Android. I've used Krita on Linux before but didn't know there was an Android app!
The UI is a bit clunky on a mobile but it does the job!
An open-source, Qt-based eBook reader for Kobos (and other devices). - GitHub - Kobo-InkBox/inkbox: An open-source, Qt-based eBook reader for Kobos (and other devices).
It's a free software firmware replacement for ereaders based on Alpine Linux.
I've not tried it myself but wonder how it compares to the stock firmware on Kobo, particularly in terms of battery life and general performance.
I have a box running kodi in standalone mode with X11. My TV displays "no signal" if I leave it for too long, does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
I can still ssh into the box and use the remote app Kore so the system hasn't suspended or anything like that.
Pressing up/down etc on the kore remote, which should change what is displayed on screen, doesn't wake kodi up. However, I can wake it up if I tell Kodi to play a video.
I'm looking for a linux kernel for Debian that is 6.4.2 or above (need it to support the AX101 WiFi module).
The Debian package linked below is "linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64 (6.4.4-3)"
Does that mean the kernel version is 6.4.0 or 6.4.4?

Tell me your favourite rescue USB image and why!
Also rescue tips and tricks as that's always interesting.
I have been using a Debian installer USB as I had it to hand (DVD image IIRC) but if I boot into a shell without mounting another root FS the number of utilities is quite limited (just busybox basics). For example just now I wanted gzip but it only had gunzip...
I feel like a shell started from the installer USB should have access to a lot more utilities because the files are there on the disk!
Does anyone know a way to set up a kind of USB like the debian installer where you can install packages from the installer into the live environment?
