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.

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

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!

/s right? ... right??

 

JPMorgan Chase was named the biggest fossil fuel financier in the world, having increased its financing from $38.9bn in 2022 to $40.8bn in 2023.

It ranked among the worst banks in terms of financing to companies involved in fossil fuel expansion. It was also one of the biggest financiers of: racked oil and gas; Amazon oil and gas; and methane gas power.

Barclays was labelled the number one fossil fuel funder in Europe, lending $24.5bn in 2023 up from $16.58bn in 2022.

It was singled out for financing what the report describes as 'deadly' coal power plants in the United States, despite high profile climate commitments.

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.

Ohh, I see! Thanks for replying. I often forget about ChatGPT as an alternative

 

Rishi Sunak has said he will hold the Met Police chief "accountable" over a pro-Palestinian march set to take place this Saturday, on Armistice Day.

The prime minister has criticised the timing of the demonstration in London as "provocative and disrespectful".

Organisers insist their march will not go near commemorations and accuse the government of manufacturing a row.

Protests have been held in London, and other cities globally, each Saturday since the Israel-Gaza war began.

Ben Jamal, of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign which is behind the march, said he believed the government was manufacturing a row and using the Armistice Day angle to try to "delegitimise" them.

"There's something particularly askew with an argument that says a protest calling for a ceasefire is somehow inappropriate on Armistice Day," he told the BBC.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has accused the police of being more lax on left-wing protests than those organised by nationalists or right-wing activists.

The home secretary has voiced her opposition to pro-Palestinian protests in the past, calling them "hate marches" in an interview with Sky News.

Protest organiser Chris Nineham, from the Stop the War Coalition, said: "We do everything we can as stewards to make sure there is nothing antisemitic or calling for violence in our demonstrations. For us, this isn't about religion, it isn't about race."

The demonstration on 11 November is due to begin at 12:45, more than an hour after the traditional two-minute silence.
