Great advice.
Btw you don't need -S to install a package, just
paru packagename
Works fine
No one is suggesting it's a good thing, but trying to make out a correction on the scope of the problem (UK vs a subset) is an attempt to justify it, is an emotional overreaction or an attempt to pick an argument where none exists. Cool your jets son.
There are 8 current dukedoms https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_dukedoms_in_the_United_Kingdom
And about 3 times that many historical dukedoms. So 2 of 8 is a small number 2 of 28 an even smaller number.
By eyeball the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancashire are less than 5% of the land mass of the United Kingdom and maybe 10% of the population tops, so "only" meaning a small portion would be fair.
Having said that, from context I think you're inferring the wrong meaning of "only" - I would read that as singling out the two impacted areas (regardless of comparative size). In other words "of all the UK specifically (only) these two areas are affected.
I'm not OP so could be wrong of course. Often am.
TIL, and thank you for allowing me to avoid googling that
It's a real word. And used correctly in context so unlikely to be a typo.

Acronyms were very rare prior to about mid 20thC.
A number of words sound like they should be an acronym or people searching for an explanation of them make backronyms out of them.
Posh and rap being turned into acronyms as per the first like are good examples of a backronym.
There's a lot of South Africans on reddit commenting that "wid kant" or "wit kant" (I forget which) is Afrikaans for open side - and he can be seen in the vids trying to get defenders back into position.
Apparently kant is pronounced the same as cunt
Insert surprised pickachu face here
Well that's out of character for Google
Yep this is exactly why I refuse to do the scan as you go, it ends up seriously frustrating. Self scan at checkout is fine if you don't have paracetamol or alcohol, otherwise you're waiting ages for assistance.
It's definitely an overall worse experience
Mullvad works fine on both LMDE and stock mint fwiw
Although wikipedia has that as the origin several other internet sources suggested a pagan pre christian origin

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it's not good I'm afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.
True we say 15th September, not 15 September
Ubuntu is derived from Debian.
In linux there are 3 "popular" parent trees (plus a couple more obscure ones)
Debian tree, RedHat tree and Arch tree.
Debian is "parent" to Ubuntu is parent to Mint (standard versions)
LMDE applies Cinnamon and Mint tools to Debian.
I would like to point the RWNJs finally got voted out in Oz last year (federal and most states). Of course Murdoch and co. are working hard to reverse that, but semi sane leadership is in place for at least a year or two more.
I would have thought finding Hitler unlikeable would be a positive attribute ? Was that a typo ?
Orwell was a socialist so making lists of leftists seems surprising; are you sure this wasn't an ideological tankies vs socialists or marxists vs trotskyists ?
Yes I did read the thread, and the downvotes you constantly got indicates which of us is missing the point.
So, no, that's not how it went.
- If a government wants to place a wealth tax they pass a law that says (for example) "everyone owning a house worth more than £2m owes £10000 plus 1% of the value as wealth tax per annum"
- Person A fails to pay tax, govt takes possession of house, sells it to highest bidder person b, they takes taxes payable out of sale proceeds give A whats left and transfer title to B
It's not complicated, and the best part is you can't hide a house, and you can't play shelf company hidden directors jiggery pokery because if the law is written correctly the govt. can say "I don't care who owns it, if the tax isn't paid I take possession, end of discussion" pay up or else.
Central revenue gets their money slimey toffs get rinsed, poor people get basic services. Everyone who matters wins.
You really have reading comprehension issues don't you ?
The post notes that it's impossible to hide or move real estate overseas thus making it impossible to avoid.
Even if someone tried to avoid the tax by destroying the building you still can't avoid it because the land is the value not the building.
Ergo you pay the property wealth tax or the government reposses the property.
Unlike cash that can be hidden the asset is visible and hence tax is easily enforced
So to answer your question, the only one who would seek to destroy the building is someone trying to avoid a wealth tax (someone who thinks "I'd rather destroy my asset than pay tax" ie a nutter) in which case the government just seizes the land and the nutter tax avoider gets a banner over his head of "fucking idiot and welcome to jail here's your blanket dont drop the soap"
