If the Americans could read, they'd be very upset to read this.

It only affects one country, so not that big of a news story.

This is pausing US sales only. Misleading title, only affects one country.

Yes they still exist. We banned them at our youth retreats because a couple years ago the kids taped down the nozzle and tossed them into neighboring rooms like tear gas grenades.

Hilarious, but not the best for enjoying your sleep.

Tailscale and being at my house is the only two ways in so I feel those are pretty good for me.

I've been using Debian on my desktop for five years now so this information might be a bit outdated, but I have recently installed Mint on my server.

In my experience Mint (and Ubuntu) have been more beginner friendly with installation and initial setup. I remember trying to install Debian on my MacBook which just crashed on bootup whereas Ubuntu worked out of the box. Mint draws from Ubuntu's repositories which are more up to date and has more packages in it. Being able to rely on apt for installing packages has meant an easier user experience. And the last thing is that there's just more information out there for troubleshooting Mint problems than there is for Debian in my experience.

That's what I find. I could be wrong about some of the details

And Ubuntu Pro popup ads. Linux Mint is, from a compatibility standpoint, Ubuntu without the crap.

Shorten their lives by one day. They get another healthy 50 years minus 24 hours.
