EPO Eating Its Own (and Robbing Its Own)
António Campinos is lying to his staff and losing his temper when challenged about it; Like Benoît Battistelli, who ‘fixed’ this job for his banker buddy (despite a clear lack of qualifications and relevant experience), he’s just robbing the EPO’s staff (even pensioners!) and scrubbing the EPC for ill-gotten money, which is in turn illegally funneled into financialization schemes
[Meme] EPO Budget Tanking?
While the EPO‘s António Campinos incites people (and politicians) to break the law he’s also attacking, robbing, and lying to his own staff; thankfully, his staff isn’t gullible enough and some MEPs are sympathetic; soon to follow is a video and publication about the EPO’s systematic plunder (ETA midnight GMT)
EPO.org (Official EPO Site) Continues to Promote Illegal Agenda and Exploit Ukraine for PR Stunts That Help Unaccountable Crooks
epo.org has been turned into a non-stop propaganda machine of Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos because the EPO routinely breaks the law; it’s rather tasteless that while Ukrainians are dying the EPO’s mob exploits Ukraine for PR purposes
[Meme] EPO Applicants Unwittingly Fund the War on Ukraine
As we’ve just shown, António Campinos is desperately trying to hide a massive EPO scandal
EPO Virtue-Signalling on the Ukrainian Front
António Campinos persists in attention-shifting dross and photo ops; none of that can change the verifiable facts about the EPO’s connections to Lukashenko’s 'science park' in Minsk

EPO Has No F-ing Oversight

Patent Examiners Rising Up Against EPO Abuse
Unhappy with the law-breaking autocracy (the EPO‘s management breaks the law as a matter of routine), fast-deteriorating working conditions and rapidly-decreasing quality of work (or lack of compliance with the law), workers have escalated further, topping off strikes and industrial actions with a large-scale petition
[Meme] What Managers (Really) Mean by Acting Professionally
The myth of 'professionalism' needs to die along with the façade of conformity as prerequisite for employment (Linus Torvalds can work just fine in a bathrobe in his own home)
Internal Poll: 93% of European Patent Office (EPO) Workers Are Unhappy With the EPO
On top of strike/s and industrial action/s there are now also petitions; at the EPO, almost all staff is "disgruntled" because of utterly corrupt and defunct leadership

Ok, sorry for the dumb question, but how can I remove Mono from the new Ubuntu 9, without screwing it up ? I never used tomboy, and I can do without F-spot, of course.

Is this guy reliable, or will this solution just mess it all up ?

Also, how can I get a real avatar on your site ? Thanks for your patience.

Yes, Alan Lord is reliable (I know him).

Thanks, it worked flawlessly. Goodbye Mono!

Heck, removing Mono is dead easy, just fire up Synaptic, do a search on Mono, and select the “remove from hard drive” option. It takes 5 minutes at most.
However I’m going to complain – saying that GNote 0.3 is finally out is ridiculous. That implies that the project is moving slowly, while it is moving very fast indeed.

It wasn’t meant to be interpreted in this way.

@ the11thplague, glad to have helped another remove Mono.

for those who want the quick launch feature of Gnome-Do, I’ve been using Launchy for a year and perfectly happy with it.
Although Launchy doesn’t have all fancy features as Gnome-Do, not depending on Mono is the absolute advantage that no features can compare to.
