He added: “Retailers don’t tend to involve the police when they’re dealing with pensioners. Stores tend to want to handle it on their own.
“It’s not good publicity for a supermarket if it got out that a pensioner had been handed over to the police for shoplifting.”
Sounds like the numbers could be higher then, if it's not getting reported.

But at least UK is free of the EU bureaucracy
That does sound like a huge advantage Ubuntu has over other distros, one I didn't consider. Makes sense people would stick around. Also they've proven that when they say LTS, they mean it.
I'm just not a fan of snap being proprietary, and them trying to get around GPL by rewriting core-utils etc.
That's what I meant with "shady".
I mean whenever you ask “give me a beginner Linux distro” you will most likely still hear Ubuntu.
Yeah, but isn't that just instinctual? It did use to be good, 10-15 years ago when it catapulted linux forward quite a bit in many peoples consciousness, I even dabbled with it back then.
I'm usually not a horror fan, but I do like me a good Aussie/Kiwi show, so I'll definitely give it a go.
It's wild ubuntu still has those numbers. It seems like an experimental distro doing all sorts of shady stuff, I'm not sure why people would stick around for that.
I wasn't aware Fedora was such a "small" distro that even OpenSUSE had larger shares than it just 5 years ago. And nowadays very few run openSUSE.
This came out 2 years before the first smartphone, the iPhone, came to market. It's not like squarish cell phones didn't exist before then of course, it's just that it looks so timeless the way it was drawn here.
This is a bit doomer of me to say, but does it matter much? Humans are going to destroy the rainforest eventually. I'd be concentrating more on photoplankton and zooplankton as that produce half of the air we breathe. Imagine if we made the oceans a better place for whales so they could fertilize even more air producing plankton.
Thanks a bunch @PerfectDark@lemmy.world. So is this an interview that was originally posted on reddit?
Looking forward to:

Reminds me of a time, maybe 15 years ago, a young teen fainted in the middle of the queue in the supermarket. Everyone was stunned by the bystander effect, and as soon as I checked on him, everyone else sprang into action. It's odd seeing it in action. Anyway, I could slink out real quick after that.
We can't help them folks. They're in a cult. It's the same madness that gets people to buy Apple again and again, perpetually locked into the same ecosystem.
I have a (weird) tendency to be skeptical of things that are as popular as Arch, so I've avoided it so far, and Debian are a bit too slow at keeping up to date package-wise, so I've been on Nobara for a few months now, but probably moving to openSUSE over the summer.
