I am wondering if *all* the opposition politicians and political activists in Singapore are fake and planted by the government

I am wondering if <strong>all</strong> the opposition politicians and political activists in Singapore are fake and planted by the government. I am a Targeted Individual. A Targeted Individual is someone who is persecuted, targeted, and marked by the government. I have been blogging and posting in social media for the past 14 years. Till today (23 April 2020 Thu), not a single opposition politician and not a single political activist in Singapore has spoken up publicly (and in Parliament) about my plight and that of other Targeted Individuals like Cheong Wei Chang, Gilbert Louis and many others. The Online Citizen (TOCSG) at https://theonlinecitizen.com claims to be an independent news platform. In the past, I have also submitted artiles to The Online Citizen (TOCSG). However, TOCSG refused to publish my articles. Is TOCSG also a fake independent news platform and planted by the Singapore Government? Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming Singapore

Fermilab, European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Germany's particle accelerator center (DESY) and ETH Zurich use CentOS 8 Linux

Fermilab, European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Germany's particle accelerator center (DESY) and ETH Zurich use CentOS 8 Linux Scientific Linux is driven by Fermilab's scientific mission and focused on the changing needs of experimental facilities. Fermilab is looking ahead to DUNE[1] and other future international collaborations. One part of this is unifying our computing platform with collaborating labs and institutions. Toward that end, we will deploy CentOS 8 in our scientific computing environments rather than develop Scientific Linux 8. We will collaborate with CERN and other labs to help make CentOS an even better platform for high-energy physics computing. Fermilab will continue to support Scientific Linux 6 and 7 through the remainder of their respective lifecycles. Thank you to all who have contributed to Scientific Linux and who continue to do so.
