As others have said, not with Linux Mint.
However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.
With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.
Perhaps it wasn’t true the books then, but movie Snape was a believable age to have been at school at the same time as Harry’s parents. It’s just for whatever reason the author made the parents ridiculously young
“Mirror, signal, manoeuvre” is what we’re taught in the UK. So according to our highway code you’re acting correctly,but obvs that may be different elsewhere.
Basically you only signal after you’ve confirmed there is space and that it is safe to do so, therefore the time between indicating and actually acting is minimal.
The main problem you see is some people drive aggressively and use signalling as a demand that others make space for them, move out of their way etc. That’s not how it’s meant to work.
Alan Rickman was the absolute perfect casting for Snape. Nobody else could have brought him to life so well and so true to the books.
Of the entire film cast I think everyone could have been replaced except for Snape, therefore it does make sense to be bold and try something different in his casting for the new show.
Indeed.
For many of us Harry Potter was a significant part of our childhoods. It’s a great story with a satisfying ending. There was incredible excitement for each book, and the films weren’t bad either.
The world is already miserable enough I’m not willing to expunge something that has brought me joy.
We absolutely should denounce JK Rowling and her abhorrent statements. I have no idea why people continue to give her a platform. She’s one of the names on my filter list because I refuse to let her vile thoughts be given any of my attention.
I suspected that to be the case but left it somewhat open for the user to provide a source
I think that’s because instance admins are very hands on and take action to remove questionable content.
What the absolute fuck. That’s insane if true.
With the nature of federation that then must cause issues for admin of other instances who end up federating that content.
We do have alternatives to vaccines though:
You simply ban abortion and sex education which increases the birth rate and therefore it doesn’t matter that a few babies die from preventable illnesses.
It’s also worth noting that it wouldn’t just be china profiting financially. It would create a dependence on china for an essential material.
Given how rocky International relationships are at present we need to consider how we would manufacture weapons and vehicles should we find ourselves in a major conflict.
If Europe is at war with russia it’s unlikely china would willingly provide the steel we need.
What I read elsewhere that made a lot more sense is the Chinese owners, Jingye, intended to turn off the furnaces in a way that it would effectively never be possible to use them again without incurring a lot of time and extraordinary cost.
In doing so Britain would have no choice but to purchase steel from China.
Therefore even if it’s going to be expensive for the government to maintain in the long term it will be a better deal for Britain than letting china monopolise an essential material.
And it sounds like somebody on the kernel team reverse engineered the internals of bit keeper so they would have a clear understanding of precisely how it worked - but more importantly the ways that it didn’t suit their workflow
That’s not semantic versioning…
I highly recommend everyone read Invisible Women. It’s full of interesting anecdotes like you’ve just identified.

Modern smartphones are too big for women’s pockets and too big for their average hand size so as a result women are far more likely to drop phones and incur unnecessary expense of replacing them. Our world is simply designed around a male default and apparently we just accept that.
Nano is fine. But Micro is a worthwhile upgrade: https://micro-editor.github.io/

Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, more commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov.
It’s the world’s most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood, it doesn’t break, jam, or overheat. It will shoot whether it’s covered in mud or filled with sand.
It’s so easy even a child can use it, and they do.
The Soviets put the gun on a coin, Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people’s greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure; no one was lining up to buy their cars.

War was the one thing the US was good at, now they have nothing of value left for the rest of the world.
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.
US is good at pumping infinite money into the military. But they definitely aren’t “good” at war.
I think they opted not to make any cuts to NASA. It would be a conflict of interest if they did. In the sense that Elon Musk wants them to keep giving spacex lucrative contracts and they can’t do that if they don’t have piles of money
The only way for Labour to govern under first past the post is to appeal to the center.
Unfortunately our country is disgustingly conservative and the right wing have always been far better organised, it probably helps they have the media on side.
Starmer is actually doing a surprisingly ok job. The austerity he’s pushing is tedious as fuck but if he weren’t keeping an eye on economics we’d be drowning in hysteria about “magic money trees” and labour dragging the country in to debt.
The employment rights bill will be an incredible improvement for working people. I wish it went a lot further but it’s a solid start.
Unless labour support electoral reform we are doomed to an eternity of right wing government. Labour only got into power last year because reform split the vote, and very soon the reform and conservatives will merge together again.
