The latest Ubuntu defaults to using Wayland. On my Framework, it would freeze the whole box every few days. I switched to Xorg, and it was much better. (It's an option on the login screen - just clock the little cog and choose Xorg before you log in.)

Perplexity cites its sources though, so you can just read those when you suspect it's halloucinating.

It's powerfulness IS the problem. Some parts of systemd are great. Some are meh! Some really suck. But because it's monolithic, you can't take the good bits and replace the bad. You have to take it all or nothing.

That's the problem. Its architecture is offensively bad.

Decimated literally means "reduced by one tenth". So I guess you're right. A one third reduction is not "decimated". It's three times worse than that.

Malta. You just have to pay a (largish) fee, and they'll have you.

Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries.

What??

If the Tories completely collapse, then next time the FPTP nonsense might favour Reform. If they get in, they'll do everything they can to undermine democracy, and ensure they never get voted out.

Look at Hungary, and Poland. It took an almighty effort to get the fascists out in Poland, and it will take a lot of work to undo all the damage they did.

We urgently need proportional representation.

The inews article does quote that paragraph, but it does not say whether the Russian media who praise Farage mentioned it. I'm going to guess not.

Aside: Farage is so full of shit it's amazing he manages to sit down without it dribbling out of his mouth... "[Here's why Putin's invasion of Ukraine is the fault of Western 'liberals'...] I have never sought to justify Putin’s invasion in any way and I’m not now." Sadly, his open contempt for the intelligence of his supporters seems to be entirely justified.

I have no idea why I am being down-voted.

Just FYI. I downvoted you for the whiny edit.

Conservative members chose Liz Truss as leader too. It's really not a good look.

The real problem for the Conservatives is just how far their membership has diverged from the mainstream of British society. Post Brexit entryism from UKIP supporters has left the Conservative Party in real trouble.
