I usually like to stay extension-free, but this looks pretty cool. I might try it out next time I’m on my PC. Something new.

Mine is fine. But I don’t really have experience with any other smart TVs.

I’ve installed Projectivy launcher since Google mandated 50% of your home screen being an ad, though.

Yes, there are ways to install newer versions in a way that shouldn’t cause any issues (as opposed to adding a bunch of unstable repos): Flatpak.

IMO Flatpak has made Debian a lot more usable. You get the stability of the Debian base system but can have newer apps if you want to, without unnecessarily complicating matters with PPA repositories that seemingly always fuck up.

He actually doesn’t lol. It’s 135°.

What a deviously misleading diagram.

The triangle on the left isn’t actually a right angle triangle, as the other angles add to 100°, meaning the final one is actually 80°, not 90°.

Therefore the triangle on the right also isn’t a right angle triangle. That corner is 100°.

100+35=135°. 180-135=45°. So that’s 45° for the top angle.

X = the straight line of the joined triangles (180°) - the top angle of the right triangle (45°). 180-45=135°

X is 135°, not the 125° it initially appears to be.

lol

I doubt it’s religion.

Theresa May was all about drug control because her husband is high up in a company that pretty much has a monopoly on medical cannabis export. Relaxing the rules would be bad for his business. Wouldn’t surprise me if that company was a donor to the Tory party.

New labour, in the early 2000s, made moves to be more lenient on cannabis, and they were absolutely hounded by the conservative press for it, which then prompted them to reverse track.

I live in the north east so I put £200k for a house.

I don’t think your calculation takes savings interest into account.

If someone gave me 750k and said you can have that but you aren’t allowed another paid job for the rest of your life I’d 100% take it.

I could easily retire for life on that money and live very comfortably. Shit, it would give me a higher yearly wage than I’m on now.

I don’t get why people online frequently act like that’s not a lot of money. It’s £750k.

You could buy an alright house (outside of London) on that, retire at 30, and enjoy an above average amount of after-bills spending money for the rest of your life, without having to work at all.

It basically is when you’re not the one who has to deal with that debt.

We’ve come a long way. An analogue clock in particular seems crazy to me lol

It’d be interesting to see a timeline of different UIs on Linux, from the beginning to now

No, it isn’t. Not having children is.

And are we still doing the “personal climate footprint” propaganda that BP was pushing?

I’m not. I know it is, as I’m sure everybody else is too.

But there are many ways to campaign for a better environment, and he has specifically chosen to go for the one that will help his catering company.

I don’t think that was a coincidence.

I’m not even saying that we shouldn’t be doing it. I’m just pointing out his lobbying for something that will benefit his business.

Yeah maybe. I’m certainly conflicted on this, because I don’t think he’s wrong, but him financially benefitting from this in a big way does leave a slight sour taste in my mouth.

Lobbying for the world to remain habitable is very different to lobbying so your catering company can make some money.

And of course he can express his view. As am I allowed to express my distaste in people lobbying for their own private companies’ benefit.

And I absolutely cared about lobbying before I saw this news.

Just because something is normal practice doesn’t mean we can’t complain. I don’t like people lobbying for personal gain.

I do think we should be normalising eating less meat, but I can also complain about him lobbying to make a personal profit.

Honestly a big part of this is that the “dumb” phones are just as, if not more, expensive than a used or low end smartphone.

My daughter did use a dumb phone for a while, but then they started shutting down 2G and some 3G masts in the area and it was causing problems. There are some newer dumb phones that can use 4G, but given the prices and half of them still using micro usb for some damn reason (I’m a big fan of just carrying around one charger) it made more sense for me to give her an old smartphone and lock it down a little.

“we have curly wurlys at home”

the curly wurlys at home:

I’ve never actually done it, because the only extension I use is Blur My Shell, and the dev is so quick at updating that extension that even when I immediately update to a beta release it’s already marked as compatible, but here it is:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

And if you want to revert back to normal and have extensions be validated again:

gsettings reset org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation

I don’t know if there’s a GUI way to do it in one of the extension management platforms, I’ve never really looked

You want anybody using LLMs in any capacity to lose their livelihoods. That’s very much a “AI bad” take with zero nuance.
