Have the city take over apartments that have been empty for over a year and sell them for cheap to individuals and families owning 0 homes, with the condition they fix them up within a timespan.

I don’t care about the landlords. If they can afford to keep a property unused, they can afford to lose it.

I was getting worried as I saw some glitched stripes on the plex web player, maybe even on full-screen games for a few milliseconds.

welp, hope we get 7.1.8 soon.

Does this essentially bypass the AMD PSP bit or am I misunderstanding something?

Not OP but this actually looks really nice! Good job mate, I will probably DL later to try it out.

I’m not absolving governments at all so I’m not quite antithetical to this position either. I understand that a GPL license might have meant less corporate incentives but I also do despise how most corporations are moving these days so it is what it is I guess.

Drilling machines are not made by forcibly kidnapping diggers and making them motion-capture their movements for a robot that pollutes and consumes water by ignoring previous green regulations.

If they’re gonna make proprietary black boxes of spying, I’d rather they spend their own money for it rather than using the code created by the selfless FOSS contributors, ngl.

Just because fascism-lovers desire a dystopia doesn’t mean we have to make it easy for them.

They are offered very basic food at the base they’re stationed at, usually cooked by 1-2 of the other privates, so luck of the lot.

Word is that the reason you get multiple shots before basic is due to some of the meat being deep frozen for so long they kinda want you to be extra protected to be able to handle it.

In my (european) country there is a mandated draft. You get paid 5 euros a month, the only personal gear you get is the outfit, boots, winter coat with some underwear and a bedbug-pillaged blanket and pillow that most dare not use.

Why am I mentioning this? Because there’s nothing stopping the UK or other nations from establishing similar draft conditions given a good enough excuse in a war economy.

Cool desktop customisations, obviously.

Reading from NTFS is nearly flawless. Writing and actively using it is pretty bad occasionally though, to the point where steam doesn’t support it and recommends against it for game libraries on Linux.

Allowed to live sure but I’d argue they shouldn’t be allowed to exist as billionaires.

that kind of wealth is just immoral, unreasonable by the scale of human’s lifetime, and exploitative by nature.

Now I wish we had riscV mobile phones too…

The 9070xt is a very fine exception for efficiency really. I was able to cap mine at 230watt with a minor underclock and it barely lost 5% perf compared to stock.

Even base models were clocked way too high, probably to help it ensure vfm victory over NVIDIA midrange in the market when reviewers were looking at it.

The majority of the world considered slavery and women being subservient normal, that didn’t make it right.

You think it’s brain dead to reject a digital ID.

I think it’s braindead to sacrifice privacy for the sake of safety, especially when it’s so transparent that the goal is control and suppression and not “protecting the children”.

To each his own.

The problem is not the ID cards that other countries have. That would be reasonable, even if one could argue NINO is sufficient.

The problem is the online/app nature if them which, in conjunction with OSA, makes it dystopian control scenario.

I’m not ignoring those upsides that you mentioned, I just didn’t mention them or wasn’t aware. I like most of them for what it matters.

But I do still consider OSA and digital IDs an authoritarian measures and I do find this to be of high enough importance to potentially overshadow all of the above.

What’s the point of living in a, arguably, more socialist state if your privacy doesn’t exist? I’m not a bloody tanky and I don’t like that angle, like many others.

His supposedly labour government has also doubled down on censoring wikipedia, calling people pedo-sympathizers for resisting absurd internet control laws that literally affect every digital facing international company, and is now promoting a digital ID straight out every digital era authoritatians or fascist’s wet dreams.

Is he better than sunak? Probably? Kinda? That’s a very low bar though and the fact that we even talk about it is sad. Their actions have been so much unlike what people think about when voting labour parties that it’s surreal.

People reasonably feel cheated on given the party’s supposed focus.

The realistic answer IMO is that SSD should be the default with client overrides being available.

Yes consistency is important but if someone wants to do something weird, let them. Open software ecosystems should prioritize flexibility like that.

Because it’s not about the kids.

The UK, or any government, could instead use the money for OSA to create a protocol/mandate that phone and net providers need to adhere to, which enables parents to restrict to adult content. Heck, phone-only sims and adult traffic control administered via “parent accounts” would deal with almost the entire problem seeing how most young people use phones for internet access anyways instead of laptops and desktops.

But it’s not about the kids. It’s about control and having an excuse to abolish privacy.

really puts me off the idea of incest

… wha-?
