When looking at Art 6(1) ECHR, how can it be justified that the crystal clear wording of Art 7(2) UPC is to be ignored? A first year law student would blush if he came up with the theory of the provisional allocation of the London duties to Paris/Munich. [00:22] schestowitz How can such legally qualified people come up with such legal nonsense? What do the judges think who applied for a job at the UPC? [00:22] schestowitz The UPC proponents act exactly like the Polish government by superbly ignoring the notion of of legally appointed judge. [00:22] schestowitz How can a court be conform with Union law if one of its members can be removed from office without offering him any means of redress?

    MX Linux MX-21 Xfce - A wild ride

    Just recently, I tested MX-21 Wildflower KDE edition on my IdeaPad 3 machine. It was a blast. Among the best operating systems I've sampled in many an autumn. This great success buoyed my hope, and so I decided to expand my testing to the Xfce edition of this distro. To wit, the topic of today's experiment.

    [07:47] schestowitz

    I will do the same here, again. Same hardware, same conditions. I believe it ought to be an interesting endeavor, because it lets us see how similar (or different) these two flavors are. If anything, my bittersweet Linux experience has taught me that variations among almost identical distro versions, e.g.: Kubuntu and Xubuntu or alike, can be vast. So I don't know what to expect here. Let's begin.
