If anything, I'm very surprised that 46% effectively support mass amnesty. That's much higher than I'd have guessed. If the question were posed to me as "would you deport known cartel members who are actively operating while in the country illegally" I'd say yes. That of course would be a vanishingly small percentage of illegals, but it shows how easily the answers can be manipulated.

Very sensationalistic title. "Somewhat supporting the deportation of illegal immigrants" is broad enough that most people can make it compatible with whatever their more specific worldview is. Deporting illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes, for example, would fall under that.

France isn't part of Five Eyes.

Col. Florian Manet, who heads France’s Home Affairs Ministry National Cyber Command Technical Department, said in a statement issued by Australian police that his officers provided technical resources to the task force over several years that helped decrypt the communications.

McCartney said the French had “provided a foot in the door” for Australian police to decrypt Ghost communications.

Australian police technicians were able to modify software updates regularly pushed out by the administrator, McCartney said.

“In effect, we infected the devices, enabling us to access the content on Australian devices,” McCartney said, adding that the alleged administrator lived in his parents’ Sydney home and had no police record.

It's hard to parse what happened here. Sounds like a MITM attack where they gained access to the device OS which allowed them to view messages once decrypted by the device?

This is a Beshear W. The rest of the state is a basket of deplorables.

I replaced it with a more detailed source. Perhaps your confusion is stemming from the way you're conflating foreign workers and immigrants.

It isn't "sentiment". Japan is very well-known for being exceptionally unwelcoming to immigration in general, other than for low-skilled resident workers. Here's a pretty good overview: https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/d00920/

To be fair, that isn't unusual for east Asia. China is the same, but their demographic crisis is still two decades away.

That's great, but until it translates into policy it's purely academic.

The Japanese will let the country wither before accepting immigrants. It's a shame.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, sorry! My Linux expertise is limited once I get below surface level.

Same, the embedded media is dead for me too.

Sorry if this kind of question isn't allowed here, but I'm at my wit's end. VB randomly started launching on startup about 2 weeks ago (on EndeavourOS) and I can't figure out why. There's no shortcut in ~/config/autostart, it isn't in the KDE startup apps list, and I can't find anything virtualbox-related with systemctl either. There's also no setting in the VB app itself. WTF?

Based on recommendations in that thread, I also checked:

/etc/systemd/system
/etc/default/
vboxautostart.service
KDE "restore session" settings

Any ideas are much appreciated!

I don't think I've seen anyone else here with an 8:9 monitor, so I'll break the ice! The color theme is Layan Light; everything else is stock KDE.

 

Sorry if this community isn't the right place to ask — I got a USB webcam that works great in Teams, but lags tremendously (3-4 seconds) in Zoom. I doubt the Zoom app is introducing that lag on its own, but how would I troubleshoot this?

This is on EndeavourOS (basically Arch)

 

Maybe I don't really understand what the Foundation does (or what the ED's role is), but this seems like a very odd choice, even by GNOME standards.

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn't have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

 

RESOLVED: it was caused by the app being flatpak. use Flatseal!

I have a network drive mounted to my computer (PopOS). I have read & write access to everything in the drive and can drag and drop files between two Nautilus windows, but if I try to drag a file from the network drive into an email for example, I get a popup about file permissions. Is it because flatpak apps don't inherit my user permissions?

 

(apologies in advance if this isn't the right community for this question)

I've been flirting with Linux on and off for about 15 years and I think I'm ready to make the switch mostly full-time. I use a laptop for work and have a Microsoft 365 plan with email and such. I need to replace that with something Linux-friendly and would much prefer something that works with a desktop email client. Easy syncing of email, contacts and calendar to Android is a must.

Proton seems like it might be a good option but the privacy features aren't a huge selling point for me so I'm open to other options!
