Davx5 yep. Its very easy. I can't be arsed to search for it but if you look through my comment history you'll see a comment I made in the last couple if weeks on how to set it up. Its incredibly easy.
On the face of it, that is a massive own goal. TOR project surely has a fediverse account or a blog or something to announce these things. This should be common knowledge.
For a book that contains zero likeable characters, its an absorbing read. I chose to interpret it as a study on how the lower/middle classes are desperate to emulate the upper class, despite their obvious lack of morality.
Like @icerunner_origin@startrek.website I speak from experience when I say this is nothing to do with whats best for kids and all about cutting costs. Forcing kids who need an EHCP into mainstream schools and/or denying them specialist support will help no one - not the pupils, not the staff and not the school.
But its SOP for this red tory government - they've already said they're going to target disabled people claiming PIP and now they're going to target disabled people in education.
You might think this is because the disabled population have an outlandishly large amount of money allocated to them and its fair that they are targeted. They don't. The reason the disabled are always the first targeted by any ruler is because that ruler knows that the general population don;t give two shits what happens to disabled people.
There'll be no protests from society about this in the way we would see if this was an environmental issue or a race issue or a gender issue so for a politician this is a win-win.
Best of luck in your Linux journey :) There's multiple good Linux communities on Lemmy, this one is good for new starters: !linux4noobs@programming.dev
If you use Ubuntu flavoured Mint it'll come with Snap installed but disabled. I'm not sure if it ships with Flatpak support (I think it does though). LMDE does not have Snap installed at all and does ship with Flatpak. I'd use Flatpak rather than Snaps personally,
Snap is a way of installing applications (like Flatpaks) but is seen by many as problematic as its closed source and Ubuntu seem to want to make it the default way to install apps.
Cinnamon is a desktop environment like gnome or KDE - so things like (to use a Windows example) File Manager - things like icons, folders, toolbars, windows etc - all the graphical bits that make up your desktop.
Because its been Mint-ified, there's not a huge amount of difference apart from the positive step of not shipping with Snap. I use LMDE and if you stick with Cinnamon you're not going to notice much difference at all. You can trial it on a live usb if you want.
It is and I totally get why this community can't support it but if the aim is to avoid big US brands, Ampwall is not that. It is created and developed by musicians in a DIY environment. If you're familiar with the Black Metal band Woe then you might be reassured to know that the founder of Woe is that developer. It is owned under a license that is not profit driven and has civic and environmental issues built in.
As I say, I'm aware that this is still technically a US brand but it is not some huge multinational. It is fairer to artists than Bandcamp and many of the artists on Ampwall are European.
I think the matrix.org servers, whilst owned by Matrix, might be actually physically located on the continent. Given the UK's determination to kill encryption right now, I wouldn't recommend joining an instance hosted there.
Its a mystery - why would a hypercapitalist society increasingly dependent on manual labour destroy education, destroy workers rights, remove the ability to abort unwanted pregnancies and make prisoners legal slaves?
