My setup is:
There’s also QuickEmu which is really handy for spinning up a pre-built VM to just fart around with.
It works on Wayland for me!
I do! KDE widgets always seem to end up bugging out for me but Conky is always nice and chill.
Honestly, IMO Britain needs to just let go of this ‘special relationship’ nonsense with the US that we seem to think we have. It only applies when the US wants us to join in one of their wars, or hassle Europe about something which we can’t even do properly anymore since we left the EU. Otherwise the US really doesn’t give two shits about what we’re doing.
We’re a European country, not an American state. We should act as such and move closer to being part of Europe, instead of trying to suck up to an isolationist powder-keg on the other side of the world. (Which I’m assuming will be the case once the MAGAs are in charge.)
Yeah the Euro thing is a bit of a Catch-22 I think - if a Labour government agrees to adopt the Euro, the Tories and the press will absolutely tear them to pieces, and we’ll probably end up with a Tory government again, bleating on about how they “Saved our pound” or whatever.
I think you could make the argument that Britain rejoining makes the EU look good - if the UK leaves and does better, it might give other countries the idea that they’ll be better off leaving too. But if the UK changes its mind and comes back after not even 10 years of being out, it might send the message to others that you’re better off staying the course.
Especially if we’re willing to come back for a worse deal than we had before we left, which I’d assume would be the case. We pissed away an amazing position within the EU, I’d be very surprised if they were willing to let us just plop back into our old role.
Not downvoting, but I do quite like that Floorp is just a bit weird. It makes it more fun to use lol.
I find AI is useful for doing piddly crap like writing cover letters and boiler-plate emails, the kind of stuff that requires zero brain-power but takes up time in your day. I see it as like having a secretary that’s not quite competent enough to trust with anything important lol. It can be disastrous or handy, depending on how it’s deployed.
Men wearing wigs.
For whatever reason, we’ve decided as a society that women wearing wigs/weaves/extensions to make themselves feel attractive and nice is perfectly normal, but if a man does it it’s laughable and pathetic. I say, wigs for anyone who wants them!
Also before the accusations start, I’m not a bald dude lol.
I think also some people who feel like they can’t be as openly homophobic as they used to be in the 80s/90s/2000s have just transferred their bigotry onto trans people instead because they think they can get away with it.
Yeah I think once games reach a certain level of hype there’s almost no way to release them without getting a big backlash. People (IE gamers) tend to build these things up way too much in their minds and go in with really unrealistic expectations.
I think it wasn’t a bad game, it just wasn’t a great Mass Effect game. If it had released as it’s own stand-alone thing and had been marketed a bit less grandly I think it would have been a lot better received.
I agree. Bush Jr. was the one who broke the window, Trump is just the inevitable crackhead who climbed in and started living on the couch.
I think I posted this before in some other thread, but one time back when I used to use Ubuntu, I opened my laptop and the screen was upside-down. Everything worked perfectly, but just upside-down. I went through every display setting I could find, trawled through forums for hours (on a different, non upside-down computer) and got absolutely nowhere. It was at the point where I was thinking I’ll probably have to reformat and start over and this will forever be a mystery.
Then I accidentally solved it when my Playstation controller battery got low and I plugged it into the nearest USB port to charge, which was my laptop. As soon as I plugged it it, the screen flipped back the right way. As it turned out, Ubuntu was talking to the controller and had for some reason interpreted the gyroscope movement as ‘rotate screen’ the last time I charged it. After a couple of minutes of waving the controller around and watching the desktop spin while going “huh”, I just unplugged it when it the right way round and crisis averted!
He was a good egg
UK here. We just switched to a Labour government a few months ago and it turns out that the previous Conservative government blew a £22 billion hole in the economy and didn’t tell anyone, so now the new government have to deal with it by raising taxes which is pissing everybody off.
In particular, they’re changing the way inheritance tax works which is screwing over farmers, so they’re now doing mass protests.
Yeah when I joined IIRC I just had to write a sentence about why I wanted to join. The communism thing made me laugh though!
I used to have complete anarchy in my Downloads folder, but I’ve since reformed my ways and now my Downloads folder is clean and my Videos and Documents folders are complete anarchy instead.
Oncolytic Virotherapy!
There was a news story recently about a virologist who possibly cured her own stage 3 cancer using this technique. Obviously more study is needed but it looks promising!
