On the surface. You might want to look a little closer.

The whole of London especially the East end, was a cesspool supported by the aristocracy. Jack the Ripper is still believed by many to have been a prince or someone of similar breeding.

Still a few communist/socialist places to move. North Vietnam is pretty nice.

There is a truism. Will have to come back and give the original quotation author, but it's

"Only poor people pay taxes."

Rich people have the resources to evade and skirt around any tax legislation which they are supposed to be captured within. Most of them use the corporation as holders of wealth of which they have control.

Corporate taxes are almost always lower than personal taxes for that reason.

Banning billionaires is as likely to succeed as veganism.

The whole idea behind PFI (or whatever it is called now/today) is to move state debt off balance sheet.

There's no way there isn't going to be a PFI shitty (for the tax payer) deal involved. Probably with the same shareholders as the former Thames Water.

My bad. Can imagine that too.

I don't think that you can. Downloads is 'protected' location these days too.

If you're using something like Syncthing, you can't connect a Syncthing folder to it.

Didn't realise it used Bing too, thought it was just Google.

The weird thing is that people still believe in the trickle-down effect.

Musk is due to become the world's first recognised trillionaire. Putin was probably the first.

Very rich people are not philanthropic in any way that is noticeable.

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages

 

Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on.

However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon.

Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please?

Thank-you in advance

UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. 😳

I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice!

Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! 🤣

 

Hi all

Is there an Android client that allows me to avoid Reddit posts which are currently crossposted and overwhelming my Lemmy timeline?

Something like Domain exclude as on the Relay for Reddit client.

Thank-you in advance
