Instead of the telescreens it would be the BritCard App, constantly recording audio and video, alerting citizens when it’s time for their “Two Minutes Hate”, and regular unskippable announcements from Big Brother (probably Nigel Farage)
George Orwell’s 1984 - set in 2034 London, you wouldn’t have to use much imagination to be honest, it’s basically writing itself.
That’s fair enough, I had a headphone to lightening adapter permanently plugged into my headphones for about a year… I went through a pair of headphones about once every 2 years, the cable would get snagged on or trapped in something eventually. Had AirPods for 5 years… I’d say in another year I’d probably be at the break-even point from an e-waste perspective, but I’d probably have to keep them for another 15 years to make up the price difference.
Would a USB-C to headphone Jack converter open up your options? You can buy one with usb pass through to charge and listen at the same time. I really wanted to keep my headphone jack but I’ve gone to Bluetooth and it’s pretty good tbh
I genuinely thought this was satire, never heard of either and have only just started with LibreWolf… now I have more options to research!
So they didn’t drop the request for backdoor access to user data, just amended it a little.
Not long before Great Britain will be renamed Airstrip One.
I kinda want a BIC lighter made of tungsten just for this pun.
Yup - so anyone donating more than $10 a year gets 10 years in prison. Also your £10 is 100% tax deductible, if you don’t earn enough to pay any tax then you get an extra $10 in state benefit if you donate it to someone running for office.
Wouldn’t it be nice for campaign funds to be used for shoe leather, emails and flyers, rather than attack ads on every website and TV station.
at some point you have to realise that the political system is corrupt and money needs to be removed, or you’re only doing what about 100 people want, instead of the 330 million.
It’s so depressing how money influences politics, every citizen should be able to donate $10 a year, and that’s it. No corporate money no PACs, you want to get your message out, you need to actually engage with your constituents on a personal level and earn their support.
Thanks - 22.1 is getting installed today.
Thanks - I’m hoping to get all my household machines switched over, maybe look at a HomeServer install.
If all goes well then my parents and extended family are getting upgrades from Win10. I set them all up with decent laptops in the last 5-15 years with SSDs, wifi6/7 and maxed out memory upgrades. If it wasn’t for TPM2 required for Win11 and Win10 EOL things sure would be different.
Perfect - thank you!
Ok - thank you, I think I’m going to be learning a lot in the next month. I last used RHEL for work about 5 years ago and it was a really niche application, I didn’t really explore the OS too much, and OS updates were not my responsibility.
Is there a resource where you can see the bugs/fixes left to resolve or an ETA? Not seen anything saying 4-5 days, I just downloaded 22.1 and I’m going to do a final backup this weekend.
I’ll probably just install .1 and have a play then reinstall .2 from fresh and transfer my data.
I’m going to wait a month and see what has actually changed… my guess is nothing.
Last week I put together a kit because my car only comes with a pump and a can of tyre goo:
On uneven ground bottle and scissor jacks are always sketchy, having chocks and axel stands can give you enough time to get out of the way and prevent an accident. Most importantly the time to test out the kit is at home before you need to use it.
So you go over there after Putin plays Trump like a London piano, and achieve absolutely nothing while Trump shows you his hat collection. Well done, can we have leaders who actually have a spine again please?
Not easy when 7 of the top 8 newspapers are just propaganda for the Tories. You can only convert so many people when entire fear and belief systems have been cultivated over decades.
I went to cancel a couple of months ago but my dad now uses my subscription to watch football. So at least I’m breaking their TOS
