One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

It’s really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don’t generally go around shouting about how evil they are.

Yeah just tried it again now.

I deleted the partition again first, then when I got to the installer, it had created a new 50GB partition and mounted /var/crash and /var/log which can’t be unmounted (tried force unmount and all that jazz)

I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn’t change the system until you try to install!

It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn’t even get through the installer since I also couldn’t resize etc. because the partition was in use.

Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

Lol - POs looking at backend tests, as if

I feel like that’s more because you don’t want websites you visit running code than because you dislike this particular programming language

Does it matter if those machines are an hour out for 6 months? Why not just keep them on UTC as a rule?

“Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government”

Ah yes, the English language speaking race

Never heard that idiom before, (is it German?) Sentiment is clear though, I would probably just say “in its infancy” or something.

Also completely agree with your points. I’m a major supporter of FOSS but at the end of the day, I’m gonna use what actually works - the same as everyone else.
