  • chuso@fedia.iotoExplain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI 5 How it is legal if a person commits a crime like lets say theft at 16. Then the courts drag their feet so they turn 18 and charge them like an adult?

    Well, I am not a lawyer so I don’t know if that can really happen, but you are supposed to be judged by the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not any different scenario that could be applied to your case in the future (nulla poena sine lege, non-retroactivity of criminal law).

    Consider, for example, something that didn’t use to be a crime. For example, buying alcoholic drinks. If now they ban alcohol, they cannot start prosecuting people who bought alcohol when it was legal. Even if they announce they will ban buying alcohol, they cannot wait for the law to come into effect to start prosecuting people who bought it while the law was being written and knew it was going to be banned, because it was not banned yet when they bought it. This is not the same case, but it’s similar.

    What matters is the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not when you are being judged.

    But, as said, I’m not a lawyer.

    I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it’s too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don’t wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.

    I have a TUXEDO Book BU1407.

    The hardware support is quite good. It works with mainline Linux without requiring proprietary drivers or firmware.

    But the laptop is very noisy. Sometimes I have to put a T-shirt or something under it when I want to watch a movie in silence without hearing all the vibrations it causes on the desk.

    It also has a big bright power LED that is very annoying and I have to cover it when I use it in dark environments.

    In five years, I had to replace the battery or power supply twice, which they didn’t sell and I had to buy from third parties. When I contacted support to try to diagnose why my laptop was not charging, their reply included expressions like “We can’t do magic. […] We can’t see into the future and we can’t be clairvoyant either” which I found very rude and unprofessional.

    For all these reasons, I will not buy TUXEDO again and I think I will give Slimbook a try the next time I need to buy a laptop.

  • chuso@fedia.iotoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    3 km sounds like too much to me. I don’t think most people here would walk that far to do their shopping, especially in 30°C heat, mostly because we usually have small supermarkets all around.

    I currently walk 500 m to my small neighbourhood supermarket when I just need to buy a few things and I don’t recall ever living further away from some small supermaket. When I am running out of provisions, I take my car and go to a big hypermarket 7 km away. There are other hypermarkets closer by, even within walking distance (2.3 km), but that farther one is the one I like for doing a big shopping.

    Of course, distance isn’t the only factor. It’s not the same 500 m in London or Amsterdam which are mostly flat than in the city where I live now, where the 500 m to my supermarket have gradients of up to 15 %.
