Finally some closure after all those years

little choice for amazon the logistic company

Depends on where you live. Here in Germany we have a few alternatives, like "Otto" and a few others with specialisations like electronics. Some of them have a marketplace just like Amazon and they even offer the same cheap chinese crap that Amazon has to offer. So you could feel right at home.

And yet, a Republican openly opposing his supreme leader is pretty unusual these days. That's something most Democrats don't seem to be able to do currently.

Turbo Pascal

Yeah, I know. Especially the MS Office dominance is still a problem in business scenarios. For private use though there are office solutions which are "good enough" (Office 365 and Google Docs, Spreadsheets etc in a Browser, Libreoffice to name a few)

Maybe you were just unlucky in your specific hardware combination? I did literally dozens of Ubuntu installations on very different hardware over the years. Most of the time it was a matter of minutes, and without any glitches or need for troubleshooting.

People like to complain that Linux is complicated to setup and use. In recent years, it's increasingly the opposite. Basic windows settings locations are shuffled around and hidden and you have to use the Windows Commandline/Powershell to get things done. And installing Linux is also much faster and most of all doesn't ask you a hundred questions how to best steal your data.

I'm not happy with Honor and I will not buy another one. So much bloat, crap that connects to chinese servers and can't be uninstalled or even disabled.

Also useful for some ad hoc cable management. The triangular space inside is big enough to hold some thinner wires without damaging them

Just a reminder, if you are in the EU or the UK you have a right to request the personal data collected by the service you want to leave. Acquire this data before you close your account!

Maybe vassals is too strong-worded to describe the phenomenon. But living in western Europe I have firsthand experience in the relationship between the US and my country in the past decades. The US offered protection to the "free world", but of course this comes at a price. The US had to be regarded as a role model in many ways, and everything that came out of the US, was copied and implemented verbatim. Which made the US the de facto puppet master and they really liked that role. This relationship was carefully orchestrated and nurtured by the US from the end of WW2 onwards, and the effect was that European countries embraced this strategy and viewed the US in a positive light, no obvious power play or bullying necessary. But the fact is, there always was a strong dependency on the US, and this was by US design.

Trump doesn't realize that there was good reason for choosing such a "soft" strategy, he can't because bullying is his only available tactic. He will soon find out that his perceived european vassal states don't respond as well to hostility and blackmail as he might have expected.

They already want to declare people criticizing Trump as mentally ill in order to silence them. That speed run is in full effect.

I'm looking for a way to filter by text in Jerboa, for example hide every post if the title starts with "Trump“

Don't know if I just can't find it or if it doesn't exist. If it's the latter, this would be a welcome addition.

Hi, I'm using Jerboa in List mode and I recently noticed that posts are marked as read simply by scrolling by. I feel that might be a reasonable change for Card mode, but an entry in a List should not count as read unless it was opened. Or am I doing something wrong?
