If a country weakens their currency to boost exports or anything, and it’s not part of a cooperative environment but instead hostile, won’t other countries just respond with countermeasures like a round of QE or lowering interest rates?

I wish Linux distro devs would interview you about your experience. If the goal is wider adoption, we need to understand how to make it friendly for real. Your opinions are very valuable.


Is this like when Idi Amin called himself King of Scotland?
For most computer users, the OS itself isn’t the hobby. It’s a tool that lets them do things like writing, browsing, drawing, gaming, etc, projects of various kinds, concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown, in a word using their computer. It does not help them to say that ed(1) is the standard editor and that vi is bloated.
Mint is a solid choice.
Ps. My (unsolicited) advice is this: at any time, make sure you have at least one computer that works.


It matters if future security guarantees are conditional on Ukraine not attacking Russia. If Russia can claim they were attacked without any fact checking now, they might do the same in the future when it matters more. Showing Russia that their claims are not automatically believed is positioning for the future.
What was the issue?
Alternatively: when you want to not worry for two years.
Oh, then there’s hope :) It sounds like there’s been a lot of introspection and a will to change course. Does she feel the same?
For me I’ve been the one saying that our current lifestyle is not working for me. I’ve been saying it for 6 months and I don’t know what more I can do at this point. I wish I had hope. We have good days, but the fundamental issues remain.
I’m sorry to hear that. How are you doing now? If you don’t mind me asking, if there was a point where things were still salvageable, do you think you were both aware of the direction things were heading? Did the realization come at the same time for both of you, or at different times that it was beyond that point? What were the critical signs?
This reminds me of some issues in my relationship. Some problems that never gets solved.
No but the swedish subtitle is not what she said either. It concerns the legal term “criminal intent” when it comes to running a business. Someone else posted a longer explanation.
The translation is not what she said though.
I agree, I’ve been running debian for, idk, 10-15 years now. Sometimes I try other distros, but Debian feels like home. I love how they use Condorcet voting, the social contract, the community.
Debian currently has some drama in their ftpmasters team, they argue with the debian project leader, then their team was disbanded in favor of two new teams, then some quit, etc. Seems like the usual open source way of doing things. Hopefully it won’t affect the releases.


Ah! I didn’t know they didn’t sell there, that changes things.


The pro versions will be much more expensive than the “a” models (like 9a, 8a, 7a, etc), if you can find an “a”-phone, it will be cheaper. I would get at least an 8a, since they have support until 2030 or something like that, the 7a has support until 2027. The 6a is the oldest one which still has support, but only for a year or so more iirc.


How much is a refurbished pixel 8a in your country?


Would there be any benefit in running google play services in a private space, or does the sandboxing already provide that separation?
What can an ordinary person do about this? I moved my savings to ETFs that specifically exclude the US the moment Trump was elected. But my debit card is connected to Mastercard and there’s no europan alternative in my country. Or is it more about the big picture and not what I personally do or avoid?
