Used to be worse, to quote messers Pratchett & Gaimon.

"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee.

It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system

Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."

Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

And I thought I had a bad day today.

All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?

I never get tired of this one, though my favorite has one more frame with Aragorn further off into the distance before Leglass' comment.

The last two for fuck sake; after that list what the hell is, or how does Fuckerburg, define 'sensitive data'?

'People' won't react to this until they are hit with a real and tangible consequence:

'sorry, based on the heath data you gave to Meta we're doubling your insurance premiums'

Yup jumped into the BBC soon as I saw the thread, seems to be the case; guess we know what air defense doing.

UK.

28 days PTO plus bank holidays.

28 days full-pay self-certificate sick leave.

6 months full pay with Dr's cert, beyond that 50% pay for 24 months.

Yup same here. Two profiles, one is my daily driver and open source, they other is for the few apps I need with Google services. This is the perfect compromise between what I want, and what I need.

You're going to hear a lot of people saying how straight forward Windows is install; I'm avoiding W11 so have my W10 anecdote.

The only way I've ever been able to install W10 is to disconnect every single peripheral except m/kb and one single drive.

Anything else over the years, be it different mobos, HDD,SSD m.2 thingies it's always been the same; anything more than m/kb and one single disk W10 shits the bed.

If you're still struggling, try that.

Had not seen the vid

Live launches, documentaries etc; I can get behind this streaming service.

Online ads, same here.

Was a small thing, I was vaguely aware of online ads but only at a high level.

Was browsing online for garden sheds then turned the laptop off. Came back in the evening and every single site was pushing ads for gardens sheds.

Did some research and 7 years later, de-googled phone, all social media long since closed, linux (mostly), VPN etc etc.

Not going to pretend I can do anything against state actors (CIA, GCHQ) , my threat actors are businesses, Meta, Amazon, Googlr etc.

Can't beat them all, but I can make my data exepensive to them at least.

Thank you, supporting the services and apps I'm using here is the next phase.

Will set something up in the morning

'Thick as a Brick' Jethro Tull.

More of a grower than an immediate album but, once you tune in, there's so much going on I never get bored.

Or grinding wool between your front teeth; every example so far has made me grimace.

I don't know but in all seriousness I'd suspect there is a German word for it.

I'll admit it, didn't pay attention to the group, spent the last minute looking for a bee on a stick.

Lovely cat. Disappointed in me. Sad no bee on stick.

Lives next door to Alice

For ExoBio I strongly recommend ED HudMod

While it allows you to customize the colours of your HUD it also has mod that allows you to change how the heatmap for biologicals is displayed. It's far more effective than the in-game one.

Very very very little indication they would be better, and I'm very left of center in politics.

Starmer is very suss as far as I'm concerned, I'm not at all comfortable with his purges...if he gets in, we'll see.
