What Latvia is doing is requiring that residents that Russian citizen residents that have been living in Latvia for a long time naturalize as citizens. The requirement for naturalization is an A2 language test and some paperwork (paperwork and meetings can be done in Russian language convetionally.)

This action by the Latvian government forced naturaliszation of the vast majority of residents left in this non-citizen situation. A portion of those non-citizans are unable to follow the requirement (usually too old to learn the language); they are political casualties - so far it appears to be in the 10s or 100s. Another portion of those non-citizens refuse to follow the requirement; they are political martyrs.

Why is Latvia (and EE and LT) doing this?

Because Russia threatens nations with Russian ethnic populations, of the nation doesn’t conform to Russian political perspectives.

Canadians just won their negotiations, so not surprising here. Canadians won by outplaying the Canadian carrier though, so not the same strategy.

Not for virt machines, but toolbox is an easy to use way to keep tooling environments separate from your main machine workspace. Requires/leverages Godmanchester over lxc/docker. It’s a big part of the fedora atomic/immutable stack, to allow you to install things without installing them.

“Overseas”

Your analysis isn’t great.

Intertwined economies made sense for many reasons, when we all thought that we could work together. Now the world has changed, and many nations want to work against each other.

Europe’s good actors are likely trying decide how long they need to build relations that are not so sensitive to these kinds of disruptions, and trying to decide how much they need to put up with until then. Europe’s bad actors are trying to figure out how to leverage tensions for more domestic power.

The Canadians feel the same way

And the next time?

Have you never had to deal with a bully before?

Ironically, I haven’t had a hardware issue in ages.

As always, the global “we” do (not you billionaires, you sit down and be quiet)

The Unix philosophy is many parts combined, instead of one mega-part. The Linux kernel is an exception, but the concept allows Linux to evolve over time, and to be flexible. I don’t know what AHK does (consider describing behaviour in these kinds of posts), but concepts like uber-key mapping can’t exist the way they did in Windows.

It seems to me that you have two options:

1. Move to a launcher style approach: find a utility that let’s you trigger a menu that offers the things that your are trying to do (dmenu, fuzzel have lots of extensions for behaviours), similar to the OSX launchpad or the windows start menu w/typing, but you can create your own options and script them
2. Look at the key mapping for your DE (kde, gnome, sway, xfce, niri) and see what is there. KDE has excessive key mapping, and the small tiling managers have many launching and scripting options.

Listen, moving from windows to Linux is not like moving to an apartment across the hall, it is more like moving to an apartment across the border - they have worked out some things differently, and sometimes better. Half of the goal of moving away from windows is moving away from windowisms. Explore and what else is there.

People ask me why I use emacs (they don’t actually, but they could) and I answer by telling them that there are some very new progressive workflows that are significantly better that most IDEs - look at consult/vertico/marginalia/orderless/corfu , and forget evil/vi, look at meow. File browsing using a tree navigator is a last ditch thing. Watch prot on YouTube to learn build a stone cabin, understand philosophy, and learn how to use emacs; move forward and progress.

Darnit, I’m rambling again.

God wrote wrote several.

Well first he had at least three guys write books for him (ghost authors?)

Then he branched out and wrote one in Arabic, and at some point he wrote another in the new world.

Another time he had some kind of revival and got a bunch of folks together to decide on which parts should be in his book, and they decided to put his first books in as a prologue, and added a whole bunch of new-wave hippy shit to it.

Then he picked some folks to translate it over centuries from one language to another, and then to another, and then eventually to English.

Oh but before your book from school, he even had some old English king decide to commission another “translation”, 'cause he didn’t like some parts.

Maybe your kids will get lucky and get the Trump bible in school, so that they can learn the US history.

Edit: ironically, I went to a school similar to your username

This.

Don’t expect the brand new gear to work on Linux. It takes a while for the neckbeards to get access and write the drivers.

Heck, even new gear from companies that contribute their own drivers can be shaky.

I’m sorry, but for desktop, Linux can’t be relied on as stable for early gear adoption. Usually even the specs are in limbo still.

This is coming from a linux/bsd only user for many years.

:P

I’m sorry, but I still chocked at “US attorney J. PIRRO”

Easy installer too.

Sysexts are something I’ve been meaning to get in to. Have you had much success in general with them?

Just need to point out that the CEO of roblox feels that tech CEOs should decide how the country (USA) is run.

Ah yes, the return of right-shifting
