Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

I see this a lot and nobody really ever explains, properly, why.

I have used Linux off and on for many years (mainly server OS such as RHEL and CentOS). I have now migrated from Windows desktop to Manjaro KDE. Using it for a year. Had one issue (wouldn’t boot after a kernel update), which I sorted quickly. Other than that it’s been rock solid.

But this isn’t a ‘I have a great experience so you’re all just haters’ post.

I know the stuff about it being a week or behind Arch. I remember something about the maintainers (can’t remember specifics) but they seem to be minor niggles that don’t affect most people.

Genuine question.

Why do you dislike Manjaro? I also know it’s a common theme to dislike it, so any other insight there?

Another moronic troll for the block list.

I’ve seen this movie.

If there was some moderation in here it might help. Reports appear to get no attention.

If that was the intent, I apologise for comment.

Conditioned to being attacked or trolled all the time is a good way of putting it. It’s rare that sense is wrong, sadly

Why is it ‘wild’? I said or something else which I think covers it.

By that premise it’s ‘wild’ you didn’t suggest the other thousand things they can do.

Maybe we’re both just trying to talk about a better way of doing it without being experts.

If you develop drugs using tax payer money, then that has to be paid back in some way. Either as a percentage of profits (based on percentage invested), paying back the investment (with interest) or an agreement on a cheaper price. Or something else.

Pharma has had it’s cake and eating it for far too long.

Nothing that is being suggested is unreasonable here.

Ok.

Oooooooo. Wow. Amazing work. /s

YouTube can’t win this race when they don’t control the platform you’re viewing it on. You can always install ‘something’ to get around it.

The solution to that is to control the platform using Chrome, Android etc.

Is this not what the goal of OpenID was? They have a section on their website for providers https://openid.net/developers/certified-openid-connect-implementations/

But I’m sure you would have come across this so I may be missing something.

Ungoogled Chromium, Iridium, Vivaldi.

Note I don’t use any of them (I use Firefox) but I know they exist.

The UK knew it was suicide and did it anyway.

Never underestimate the power of stupid.

No.

Phew. You’ve. Made. My. Day. /s 🥹

I’m going to go ahead and ignore what you wrote. It’s largely incorrect and screams ‘I havent read the article’. My answer would be what I wrote previously so I’d be repeating myself

Just as a heads up, we use £ in Scotland. Not $.

It’s not a phone. It’s an iPad. And we don’t know who it belongs to.

Business devices for business. Business pay for them. Personal devices for personal stuff. You pay for them.

If you rack up an £11k bill on your business device, and you are expensing it from public funds, you have to justify it to the public. If you rack up an £11k bill on your personal devices nobody cares as its your bill.

It’s not rocket science.

I’m now getting FOMO knowing that I won’t see this on Debian stable until the next 13 release 🥹

I love the stability. But damn the stability.

For me, and as a Scot, we all make mistakes. I get that. If he had paid all £11k himself I wouldn’t care.

But charging it as expenses and then refusing to explain it, should be grounds of immediate dismissal. If you’re happy to claim it from the public, you need to be transparent when they have questions. Even from the likes of Jackie Baillie and Douglas Ross.

But it shouldn’t come to that. Anybody with integrity would apologise and resign for failing to meet the expected standards of the position they hold, and the standards they should hold themselves to. The problem isn’t the kids watching your iPad (why they’re using official tech for watching football or why you get to use your own tech for government business is another discussion). The problem is the lies, deceit and self entitlement of not having to explain yourself.

Politicians of today, of all flavours, lack integrity, trustworthiness, basic moral standards and self awareness.

The lesson here, again, is actions have consequences.

The SNP started out as a party with good intentions and a passion for a cause (whether you agree with it or not). They have been in power for too long and have taken the power for granted, and become complacent. They now, sadly, have become the pigs in ‘Animal Farm’.
