My introvert 19yo daughter has been accepted for a student exchange program in #exeter university (Health & Life Sciences) in 26Q3 but has cold feet due to rumors it's a posh, partying and racist place.
Anyone know anyone who could comment on how #ExeterUni is like nowadays (as opposed to 2018 when there was a public racist issue in a student chat group)?
(boosts help reach so they are greatly appreciated)
You are aware that there's a rust frontend to GCC in progress, right?

I misread something just now as "enshitticanoe" but I think maybe I'll keep it.
An apparent North Korean worker was caught visibly stumped during a remote job interview when asked to insult the country's leader. https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/06/watch-this-video-of-how-a-job-interviewer-exposes-a-north-korean-fake-it-worker/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Is nextcloud actively engaging with governments to try and promote what you do? If so is there anything public on that that I can read?
Oh my.
In my case the problem was "your prepaid data bundle was supposed to be activated but it wasn't and now my 50-something megabytes of data usage was charged by the megabyte which cost me nearly 30 euros".
It took only a few minutes to get an actual human on the line, then a further few minutes for her to confirm and fix on their side and refund me 30 euros, so at least there was *some* competence there...
Yeah, there isn't a packages.debian.org equivalent, indeed extrepo search is your best bet.

An Android tablet that you then root and run a normal Linux on? You can do this with some models, though unfortunately not all.
There are also some laptops that have detachable screens which then essentially turn into tablets.
Switch to PPP over infrared.
It's the least reliable Internet connection I've ever had but it can't be worse than this...
I think that statement made the person who said that, whoever it is, be the person who looks bad, and you sir are far too kind a human being for not publicly naming and shaming them 🙂
+1. Soooo agree.
I had a bot yesterday going 'if this answered your question, you can just hang up', which I thought implied I'd get an actual human on the line afterwards if I stuck around, but no! The bot just hung up on me.
So I had to call back and choose a random different option in the menu. At least that did give me a human and the problem was resolved...
