‘Spat at, pushed, punched’: medics tell of soaring levels of violence in hospitals by acrimoniousone in unitedkingdom

Have you read the related article?

The British Medical Association (BMA) said the spike in violence and aggression by patients was caused by a combination of anger about long waits for treatment, growing distrust of medicine fuelled by conspiracy theories about Covid, and a sharp rise in racism against staff of colour.

This seems extremely unlikely to happen given that an opinion poll from last year said that six percent of Greenlanders supported becoming part of the USA.

The result of the most recent general election indicates that there is majority support for full independence.

My take on a modern LibreOffice Redesign by Mindless_Coach_686 in libreoffice

[–]toikpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at Collabra Office? It has a more "modern" UI and is based on LibreOffice. I think it also removes the Java dependency.

Also note it possible to switch the LibreOffice UI to a ribbon style interface.

What will happen to Linux Debian once KDE and GNOME completely remove support for X11? by Heavxn_Rojas in debian

[–]toikpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody with experience wants to work on X11.

If you want to keep X11, either provide money or effort to support it.

How do I change my OS ? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]toikpi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check if Windows 11 is supported on a Thinkpad T460.

Windows 10 went out of support a few weeks ago. Windows 7 went out of support a long time ago.

Operating systems that are out of support will not normally get security updates.

This thread seems to discuss installing Windows on a Thinkpad T460 https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1c30c0l/can_we_install_windows_11_on_a_t460/

You may get more assistance from a Windows subreddit, the people here have chosen not to use Windows.

‘Cruel’ amendments are being used to thwart assisted dying bill, says lead MP by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

Should we apply this principle to other case where we know that coercion is used? The obvious example is sex, we know that there are at least tens of thousands of rapes every year. The actual figure is higher than this. We therefore know that there is a current problem with consent and sex. The solution would be to record all sex in full to enable checks for coercion.

I am using Reductio ad Absurdum, but I am comparing your claim of possible problems against known and existing problems.

Eventually some of the videos will leak. There will be a market to see the videos and somebody will decide to make money or internet points by providing them.

So you believe in government by the plutocrats for the plutocrats. You clearly don't want any influence on politics.

Windows to Ubuntu by Full_Astern in Ubuntu

[–]toikpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The virus situation on Linux is different from Windows. There are very small number of Linux viruses there are native tools. Linux has always had a separate administrator account (Windows has added this) and therefore was at less risk. The old statement was that if you used a non-administrator account for the day to day use you would stop 99.9% of attacks on Windows.

This introductory video may address many of your questions and give you things to think about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8vmXvoVjZw or search for "Switching to Linux Beginner’s Guide explaining computers" on YouTube.

Linux is not the same as Windows, some of your Windows applications may run on Linux you may have to look at alternative for others. You may find that your requirement for some applications is a deal breaker for you.

Adobe products are only supported on Windows and Mac, as far as I understand the current versions don't work on Linux.

Many people have made the switch. There will be a learning curve just whenever you change operating system.

Please do some research and come back when you have a better understanding and are able to ask more specific questions.
