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.

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:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny_(film)

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!!

I mean I’m not sure what you can do other than name and shame the restaurant, and/or boycott it

Thanks for sending these over.

I completely agree by the way that we should not condemn an entire population because of their government!

Honest question: can you send over a source or sources for that?

Or Tuta(nota) https://tuta.com are good!

I keep feeling like I’m putting off living a happy, healthy, life until I can retire.

Yeah that resonates with me too

I know it’s not 100% the same, but there’s a website that gives you access to insecure webcams and has been for ages!

http://www.insecam.org/

Obviously these aren’t hacked as per the article

One thing I would add is that the Russian people do want change but any attempt at changing the leadership is met with poisoning and/or long prison sentences. I would highly recommend reading about Alexei Navalny or watching the fascinating documentary

Israelis deserve peace, and Palestinians definitely deserve better

Absolutely with you!

But it is their responsibility as a people to make their situation better.

Ok, hang on…

What do you mean by this? Whose responsibility? Palestinians? They have a responsibility to improve their situation…

Israel is an occupying force. Surely Israeli forces and settlers should leave occupied West Bank to start with. Then there can be a discussion about how Palestinians can improve their situation.

You get a phone call from someone claiming to be from 23andme but they’re not…

Hi it’s Jim from 23andme.
Just going through security with you. You did a test with us on the 5th Dec, your mother is X and your father is Y.
Ok that confirms who I am.
So as I said it’s Jim and in your results we see you have a genetic condition which means you will have early onset dementia.
We offer a preventative treatment. Want to enrol in the trial? It’s $200.

Not the best example I admit but an example of how that data could be misused and you’ve just paid “Jim” $200
