  • Ubuntu is based on Debian, but it differs in quite a lot of ways.

    Probably, they didn’t use dkms to install their custom wifi driver. If that was the case, Debian and Ubuntu behave identically and the driver isn’t added if a newer updated kernel is installed.

    Especially if you use Ubuntu’s 6-monthly releases.

    If their driver was included in a user PPA, it’s gone after a Ubuntu release upgrade and the sources.list of the PPA is deleted.


  • That seems to me to imply that in the game, the reverse card turns things around on the other player. Like if they play a +2, you can play the reverse card and make them pick up 2. Is that the way some people play?

    Exactly, as I am used to, action cards do add up: E.g. if someone (player A) plays “draw 2”, the next player (B) can lay another “draw 2” on top without drawing 2 cards themself forcing the next player © in line to draw 4 if they themself don’t lay another “draw 2” or a reverse card of matching colour. The latter would then chang the direction of play and force player B to act accordingly.



  • Who’s still denying climate change?

    The Czech government apparently:

    Immediately after his appointment, the leader of the Motorists’ Party, Foreign Minister Petr Macinka, simply declared the “climate catastrophe” to be “over”. As a result, he promptly disbanded several working groups dealing with climate policy. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute was forced to make some staff redundant due to budget cuts. And this despite the fact that this agency enjoys a very high level of public esteem – particularly since, two years ago, it accurately predicted the floods in eastern Czech Republic and thus helped to minimise the subsequent damage in advance.

    Turek, who was an influential social media personality before entering politics two years ago, was originally set to become Minister for the Environment. However, the Czech President, Petr Pavel, rejected the appointment, citing Turek’s racist and homophobic comments on social media. He was eventually appointed the Czech government’s official representative for the European Green Deal. He is thus responsible for a policy area whose merits he has questioned from the outset.

    An incident in the Czech Parliament during the heatwave in June is indicative of this attitude. When two Green Party MPs called for a debate on the consequences of the excessively high temperatures, the chairman of the Motorists’ Party, Foreign Minister Macinka, who was present, responded sarcastically: “Well, it’s hot in summer, cold in winter and dark at night,” was his comment on the request made by the Green politicians, whom he also described as “overheated”. Fortunately, Macinka noted, there was air conditioning in Parliament, so the two politicians would be able to cool down.
