Could she not agree to resign as long as Trump resigns first?

If a new Linux user asks for a distro recommendation and you suggest Arch, then you've fundamentally misunderstood the words "new user"

While I have no problem with these Israeli demonstrations, I am concerned about the setting fire to tyres, giving off that black smoke, which is bad for the environment, bad for health and very possibly contains carcinogenic compounds (now airborne), is that the intention of the protesters.

Nice going.

And if you install another OS such as LinuxMint over windows 11 or 10, cash converters in Torquay told me that invalidates the Warranty. It seems better plan than installing the latest Windows 11 update which breaks ssd.

I feel sorry for young developers these days, those just starting out at say 11/12 learning coding at home.

When I was that age or maybe more 13/14 I had a friend a year or two below me, who as we both had zx spectrums, he was working on a little address book project in basic, so once saved to tape, he could give that to me, I could take home and test, then give feedback.

All this was possible because we could write what we wanted and just use / test it.

These days, it seems much easier to learn to write software but whenit comes to running software people have to go through more hoops. I am not an expert but If I want a friend to just test something it seems there are more and more barriers to them doing that. How can programs improve without testing.

The important thing with what I went through was that it was peer testing, if he had put that program in the hands of a professional developer (even late 80s / early 90s) would they have been as helpful. So these days we can put programs on repositories so more can see, but if the person looking at yout code does not know how old you are, they may not account for age / experience factors.

I think this is why it is important to have communities where younger people and young developers can learn / develop and test but be supported, encouraged by older developers but who take in to account their age and experience.

This is where projects such as Mission Libre come in by hopefully providing that.

I am not up on the US constiution but if the president dies, the vice president takes over, if he / she dies the speaker of teh house takes over. So I would assume at some point a fresh election has to be triggered. Unless the speaker of the house can just be president for the remainder of the term. In which case what happens if the President / Vice president dies within say a week of winning the election?

@Gargron

Thanks for the explanation as I had no idea what this mean,I think we need to remember when you buy devices they are NOT your devices, you buy hardware, and a license to run the OS that dictates how the people who write the OS want you to do things.

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

I'm sick of journalists saying "we're doing what we can to keep journalists in Gaza safe".

Tell the truth.

Stop quoting Israelis.
Stop giving airtime to their lies.
Stop being a tool of genocide.
Stop ignoring your duty as a journalist.

Call a spade a spade and stop helping genocide.

Dictators ensure people can replace them on death and carry on, look at N Korea.

If Trump dies, vance takes over, there are enough people in government to carry on trumps agenda.

@axios

So if entry level jobs gives you experience & skills for jobs higher up ( I don't know the correct terms ), how are people going to gain that experience so they can move above entry level?

Good, this teen should blame himself but also his parents for not teaching there are consequences for actions.

@VeroniqueB99

Well I hope so too, as reform seem to lack any actual policy on everything else for a start and as we have seen with ICE even US citizens who were born in the US are being caught up in some cases.

@arstechnica

I say good riddance to these thieving bastards.

AI has a place is science, but not in the hands of big tech and or billionaires who have no respect for anything.
