Same story here.

Teachers want to teach but what they’re asked to achieve is impossible without working 60-70 hour weeks.

And when people talk about all the holiday they receive: all the teachers I know use that time to crash, become ill, recover, and then they’re back to work.

Pretty sure it’s an April 1st joke!

In the interests of discussion…

I read the article and it doesn’t seem that unreasonable that they pulled the documentary while they investigate the production company.

For example, if I was watching a documentary on Gaza and there was some close connection to the IDF and the production company, I would probably want that investigated too, as the documentary could be misrepresentative.

I hope that the BBC investigates and that the documentary is found to be accurate or as unbiased as possible, or whatever criteria they are looking to satisfy.

The more documentaries exposing the suffering in Gaza the better!

I agree!

Setup felt like a nightmare but once everything is up and running it’s fine.

The other issue is maintenance which is where I gave up. Easier and more painless to just pay another company to do that and not have to worry about server security, spam, the endless SSH requests for ‘admin’, etc etc

What I don’t understand, so please forgive my naivety, is that surely Equans is in breach of contract, so the schools and/or council could sue? I’m wondering why that hasn’t happened…

I remember having that “net” version of a MiniDisc player, and I would have kept it but it was SO slow to copy music from your computer onto the device.

Plus eBay had those stick shaped MP3 players for about £25 which could hold around an album’s worth of music, and transfer times were much faster; although slow by today’s standard

Have you watched Nathan For You?

Yeah fair points!

Out of interest what is the side project you’re doing that involves music production (presumably)?

Would KX Studio’s “Carla” help with VST3?

I think it’s basically Bing under the hood but Ecosia provide their own adverts on the search results page

Pure Browser, and then I disable Javascript.
Give it a try! Browsing the internet is lightning fast, and for pages that need Javascript I just load them in my other browser (Ecosia)

The internet has come full circle!

There used to be a game in the 90’s where you punch Bill Gates in the face.

Like this:

Ha, I never knew this had an actual name.

I thought it was known as talking to a brick wall, ie. if you have a issue talk to a brick wall and you’ll get the answer

Wild! Those are the two names I chose too!!

So just to help a little bit without getting too technical…

df -h is your friend to find out which physical drive or partition relates to which directory (called the “mount point”)

If you want, you can set up each drive/partition to be mounted a bit Windows-esque.

For example:

• Drive 1, partition 1 will almost certainly be root /
• But drive 1, partition 2 can be mounted to: /mnt/d/
• And then drive 1, partition 3 can be mounted to: /mnt/e/

And so on.

You’ll need to look up fstab to understand how to do that.

I understand it’s tricky to get your head around initially as I felt exactly the same coming from Windows to Linux.

Once you get your head around partitions being able to be mounted anywhere, it actually becomes really handy

new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.

THIS.

I would recommend watching “Louis Theroux - Among the sex offenders” to get a better understanding of the lack of treatment available for people who don’t want to offend but feel compelled. Some of them are crying out for treatment!

From the article / post: " The soldier who fired the shots describes entering the home and encountering only one unarmed Palestinian, gesturing and saying, ‘No, no.’ "

He openly admits to shooting an unarmed Palestinian man.

I would really recommend the documentary Navalny:

I knew almost nothing about the guy prior to watching it, and what happens to him is fascinating. He’s not perfect but I do believe what he says and he really wanted a better Russia. The balls on this guy!!
