  • It’s obviously not representative of the overall Linux experience but I recently realised that messing around on the Linux bits in ChromeOS would be a pretty good way to learn Terminal things, at least for Debian. It’s sandboxed so it doesn’t matter if you screw up and if you do it’s like two or three clicks to start afresh, way simpler than setting up and resetting a standard VM for the inexperienced. It, of course, means using a ChromeOS device but maybe that can be a secondary lesson on having megacorps profit from your data.









  • Very much so. Passing the buck onto GPs when the system is already at capacity is also why so many shared care agreements are being rejected. The NHS are being forced to leave people with no option for care and it’s shameful; a damning indictment of the state the government has chosen to put the NHS in. They’ve very purposefully spent the last decade-or-so driving people towards private healthcare, then seem to want to blame those private companies in part for the issue we’re now facing.

    I also keep meaning to explore the supply chain issues further and why the delays are quite so long. Sure, these are controlled drugs and there’s probably a whole heap of bureaucracy involved but (potentially) three months seems like an absurd amount of time. If the government wanted to intervene then they would but the lack of action may be telling.

    I’ll also take this opportunity to link this other great post from r/ADHDUK, detailing a lot of the problems involved with the supply chain. I can’t believe that was only 11 days ago… we’re still in the same no-news position we were 11 days ago!!
