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)

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.

Honest question: what happened to Stack Overflow? I still get answers from it. Have I missed some incident??

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!!

Which is illegal! If you tip a waiter/waitress then the money must go to them: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/all-tips-to-go-to-staff-under-government-plans-to-enhance-rights-of-2-million-workers

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!

Hello and apologies if this doesn't fit the No Stupid Questions community exactly... I'm working on a research project in the UK, around food bank usage, and wondered if anyone who uses a food bank would be prepared to answer a few questions...

  1. Are you able to get enough food, toiletries, items from your local food bank?
  2. Do you have any allergies or illness that makes it harder to use a food bank? ie. they never have any gluten free bread, or everything contains too much sugar
  3. Do you care about branded foods versus non branded?
  4. Are there items you can never find or are in very short supply at your local food bank?
  5. How were you referred to the food bank?

The research project we are working on is looking into all aspects of food banks from someone deciding to donate, to storing the donations, to people receiving them, and seeing if there is some way to improve what is being donated and/or the quantities.

Any help answering these questions would be really helpful 🙂
